    Latest moan from you and me 2026

    The postman/woman only comes up my street about three days a week, so waiting for them to get round to picking up a parcel is a bit of a lottery.

    I only grow mine in pots and find they do better when south facing. Been in the GH for some time now in order to avoid our incessant rain.

    Recommendations for quality compost?

    Any recommendations for a good quality compost for growing vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers? Last year was a disaster and the compost I purchased was infested with fungus gnats.

    You can always block out their faces to make them sort of 'anonymous' , but if they're in the distance and nobody can make out who they are it should not matter.

    If you want something unusual try Ugni. They are related to blueberries but the fruit ripen much later and have a fragrant taste - we liked them, more for snacking on than pies I suspect. I bought the variegated one and have it in my front garden. I think it would be OK in a pot.

    Terrace in the Mediterranean

    Me too! :biggrin:Lots of early colour there, :blue thumb: We do have daffodils, but currently the naturalised ones near here are sitting in puddles of rain water, so I hope the bulbs don't rot off in the ground. :sad:
