What are we doing in the garden 2026
Of course I jinxed the weather saying how nice it was yesterday. I managed a little bit of pruning out crossing branches in my nectarine and then the rain poured down!

Help With Growing Seeds
I've often looked at Ali express but never bought anything, the pricing always looks ridiculous and there has to be a catch. Probably 99p for the article and £10 P&P.

Partial screening suggestions
We love our Mahonia ‘soft caress’ which isn’t prickly at all, but might not grow tall enough. Ours is between 1m to 1.5m Similarly Nandina. I can’t remember the variety we have, but it’s trouble free.
