    @waterbut If there was an opening from the apartment to the spiral steps and thence to the ground,they may well get away with it. Otherwise, it sounds like an enquiry to the local fire safety office would be worth it. Presume you have already raised any possible safety problems with the owners ?

    What are we doing in the garden 2026

    It's always going to be a tradeoff between avoiding plastics and durability. Though if used inside the greenhouse the cotton may last for a couple of seasons.

    Thank you everyone, it is covered in flower buds so I'll keep it potted near the back door for fragrance and then consider where to put it. We had a pretty cold winter for here and it would have been sat outside in the sales beds during that, so is probably a lot more hardy than I had considered.

    Airfryer - worth buying? Any hints and tips to make the most of them

    We love our Lakeland airfryer - one big drawer with a removable divider. Bought silicon dishes which are dishwasher-proof to save on the mess.
