Before going to B&Q the other day I checked the stock levels of the paint I wanted to buy. There were evidently 8 in Aisle 28. When I got there...
Luckily, it doesn't last long here @Victoria :). Rain tomorrow!
First frost here this morning.Cotoneaster Berried Treasure.[ATTACH]Pinus mugo 'Picobello'.[ATTACH]
I finished my fence painting this afternoon. It was cold and windy but dry and sunny so it could have been worse :). I decided to leave the area...
Thank you @Obelix-Vendée, fences are a necessary evil here. After trying several colours I’ve found that black works best as it recedes and makes...
I'm also waiting for the ground to dry out a bit before painting some more fencing. The temperature needs to be at least 5C, so tomorrow looks...
It looks as if it has square stems @Clare G so it could be a sage, salvia or mint. I don't recognise the flower but the leaves do look sage-like....
This sounds like an ill-disguised excuse to buy more plants @CostasK :biggrin:. I agree with you, I tend to overplant and then move things around...

Thank you @simone_in_wiltshire, in the few days between those photos being taken they had fallen from the tree naturally. I just cleared them off...
I think it depends on what paint you are using @CarolineL. I used Cuprinol Garden Shades which is quick drying and contains wax so it repels...
Thank you @Retired. The painting got a bit slap happy near the end :biggrin:.
This afternoon I painted my newly installed stretch of wooden fencing which replaced some chainlink fencing. It took 3 hours to do two coats. The...
I think you’re right @CostasK, my sandy soil is the problem. I’m actually not very keen on the scent either but I might let it try to sway my...
Wow, those two Fatsias are doing well @CostasK. Your Sarcococca's also looking much healthier than mine - it's under notice at the moment :biggrin:.
Mahonia mentioned above is a good option for something that is architectural, evergreen and tall. The leaves on many varieties are spiky but there...
I agree @ViewAhead, he reminds me of a puppet in Thunderbirds :biggrin:.
The plain green Fatsia does take off if it’s happy though @CostasK, I had to move mine from a container into the ground within about 6 months....
