    What's your weather like 2026

    It didn't rain today, but temps are down tonight. It was sleeting when I put the wheelie bin out as I could hear it on the shrubs. A metallic sound! Feels like 0c.

    Anyone struck fig tree cuttings before?

    Indeed. It'll likely be breaking dormancy in around a month and could be fully rooted by June. Unless this house sale goes incredibly smoothly, there should be enough time.

    All you want to know about hedgehogs....

    My trailcam had 4 out of 9 videos recorded last night with nothing to see in the videos ... until I saw hedgehog poo over the day in the garden. So, they are waking up and are looking for food.
