What's your weather like 2026
Messing around with rain again here, nothing heavy but I just wish things could dry up for a few days, even when it's not raining the atmosphere is so damp any drying is very slow.

What are we doing in the garden 2026
Not really as I gave away my leaf blower as it was getting too heavy for me . Also the willow leaves being long and narrow get caught inbetween the plant leaves, especially with the succulents.
