Latest moan from you and me 2026
A bus stop near me has been painted, well there is quite a large pothole and this has been painted over. Instead of the words bus stop it should read large pothole.

Just finished this cot blanket with a Popcorn stitch edging, in time to go in the McMillan box. All our efforts get taken to somewhere in Devon for sale. Last year we made over £4,000.

Has anyone planted a decorative garden only with edibles?
I usually get a few sunflowers come up in the veg area, but nothing really edible, lots of datura.

any tips for rain and outdoor plants in containers ?

Electric cars.
This is helpful. Some manufacturers now include a motion sensor in the key fob which stops the key sending out a signal after 40 seconds.
