    When I used to volunteer at the botanic garden, plants from abroad just got put into the appropriate greenhouse - cool, intermediate or warm. Those black tent structures are, I'm sure, structured to avoid people seeing what is being grown under very intensive conditions :biggrin:

    Hot weather on the way?

    My allotment soil cracks up and hardens when it dries. Awful stuff. Slowly getting it sorted. When I say scortch I also mean wilt but the tatties scorched a bit.

    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.
