    What's your weather like 2026

    It looks as though you must have grabbed it all! :hate-shocked:I always take photos of snow and have none at all in 2018. I reckon the Dartford crossing must have been closed so it couldn't get to us. :heehee:

    any tips for rain and outdoor plants in containers ?

    A bamboo cane cut into short lengths also works well, using three in a triangle or four in a square. Easily hidden and reused or replaced.
