As a vegetarian, I saw the mention of slaughtering animals a while back and looked away. I shall not be reading this thread again for some time. A relative trained as a vet and was obliged to visit an abbatoir as part of the training. An overnight conversion to vegetarianism ensued.Cheerio.

What's your weather like 2026
A mostly sunny day - opened plenty of windows and the humidity in the house has dropped nicely. It started to cloud over at sunset so not planet-watching friendly unfortunately.

Vine weevil grub
How much can a single grub eat? I discovered a rootless geum. When I turned out the pot, there was only one grub. Was he voracious or have the others moved on?

I've never had newts so I guess it balances out, but the frogs are making a big comeback here after a few years of not so many, I think there was a virus a few years ago.

No just break it up with your hands, but I often add some sharp sand but its not essential. Remember no hard and fast rules.

What died on you this winter?
Nothing dead here, although most Heucheras are looking shabby. They are currently on the review list which precedes the departure lounge . The bluebells are back with a vengeance though .
