    What are we doing in the garden 2026

    I bought gladioli at the GC and went into the garden in the afternoon seizing the dry but very windy weather. I took the few old one out, and made sure that the new ones grow upright :)

    What's your weather like 2026

    We had our first dry day. The cold wind and no rain has dried the pavements. It was often sunny with clouds now and then. But it was the cold wind that stopped me from having a longer walk.
