    What's your weather like 2026

    The dust haze miraculously suddenly cleared and the sun came out. It is now blue sky with the odd puffy white cloud, a light breeze and 17c. I actually sat out for 20 minutes.

    What are we doing in the garden 2026

    Sowed some chillies as the ones that we hoped would survive overwintering without the greenhouse didn't quite make it. :sad: Five months outside was a bit too much for them.

    How do you tell a tic from a small spider?

    I presume it was a slimey one. :biggrin:If the dog or cat is up to date with the spot on treatment the ticks should just fall off. I don't think all spot ons kill ticks though.

    Hardy fuchsia?

    I have that one and when I purchased it, it was called Flashlight, but this was back in 2000 and I don't think they label it that anymore. It is very easy-going and will seed around.
