Hi,Here's an interesting video I watched;Also this one too;Just a copy of the data from the video at 7:06 minutes in. I wish Skoda would reintroduce the Yeti but a basic model without the excess electronics I never use like the Infotainment; petrol or diesel I'm not fussy but go back...

I’ll give you 3 guesses and to make it easier I can assure you it isn’t Thomas Chippendale.

Have a look at Cecile Brunner, which has tiny exquisite buds and clusters of small pink flowers and The Albrighton Rambler with lots of very double small pale pink flowers. They both repeat flower and are charmingly cottagy and old fashioned looking. They are both vigorous and will cover a wall.

Well done @AnniD

Agree, even the best PAS100 compost still contains plastic, which will take far longer to break down than the polymer on slow release fertiliser.Then you have farmers that are widely using PAS100, those microplastics don't even break down in the digestive systems of cattle let alone in the...

For those of you wondering what to do with those empty plastic chocolate/biscuits tubs, if you live near to a Greene King pub they can be taken there. The money raised goes to Macmillan .Tub2Pub | Greene King for Good

I was thinking mine could make a good fence treatment, or preservative for any timber that is going into the ground, it has a very similar colour to creosote. I'm glad I didn't actually swallow any of it.My tongue still feels burnt, I'm having to drink lots of cold beer to sooth it.

Has anyone else noticed a dearth of Toadstools etc. in their garden this Autumn. Just a couple for me which is unusual. Weather related ?

Thank you; I feel you are right and this is what my gut tells me too. I don't know why we have to breed plants to become so 'over-showy'. Some doubles are so complicated looking, the lovely original flower is lost. I also read somewhere that double flowers are harder for bees to navigate,...

My houseplants also have a growth spurt in winter, my theory is that as I tend to re-pot them in spring they focus on root growth into the new compost and have spare energy to put up foliage after that.If the growth is strong and not pale or "watery" thin long stems, everything should be just...
