    What's your weather like 2026

    Overcast now but stayed dry for now anyway. Some reasonable sunshine earlier. 13c max.

    is there a reason why my Gaultheria Procumbens keeps getting dug up

    While it is low growing, it's not trailing so you will have to position the basket carefully to get a good view of the red berries. It likes moist well drained soil you will have to water regularly.

    Green happy shop for seeds

    Thanks for the tip. Will definitely try them next year. I usually order from Chiltern Seeds but are unhappy with the germination rate as soon as cultivars are used.

    Eye test today, assumed I’d be prescribed new glasses, but instead am now on a waiting list to have a cataract removed. Wasn’t expecting that.

    I just thought it was too thin to be from an established plant, the big one in the picture was covered in RSM when I looked closely, I took it outside and sprayed it the other day. The others I have are mostly leafless now, I'll have to wake them up soon.

    seed potatoes with long shoots

    You can leave them in a cool light space for a while if you're not ready to plant out yet. The shoots will green up and strengthen a bit. Plant carefully as already said.
