What are we doing in the garden 2026
Repotting plants that overwintered in pots. Had to make a list of the plants needing ericaceous or neutral-alkaline substrate. Tired. Many are ready for a new season now.

What's your weather like 2026
If you believe the BBC forecast it was cloud with 50%ish possibility of rain between about midday and 3pm. Reality was cloudy morning with a warm, sunny if somewhat breezy afternoon.
