I never take the flowers off as they drop quickly themselves. Then you see the seed pod forming, as @pete says, which is a lovely. That 'coiled...
I wonder what that would look like if you were able to germinate seed @Baalmaiden? A new variety maybe :) I didn't know how they were normally...
Yes- pretty common in Perthshire and many northern parts, as well as Loch Lomond/Trossachs area @Hanglow. Unfortunately, the greys are proceeding...
Lovely pix - as always @hydrogardener . That heron was pretty smart right enough! They all have to live, so if they can get food easily enough,...
Hope you get your leak located/sorted out @Peaceful Gardener. As @Robert Bowen said - you don't want any ingress into your property. Water...
Those out of date seeds are annoying are't they @Peaceful Gardener ! I wonder if your water butt has a bit of overflow somewhere higher up to...
I used to use the wooden storage cupboard I had, next to my back steps, as a potting bench and general working area @Robert Bowen. However, the...
It's always about your own conditions @CostasK . I still hear presenters on gardening shows repeat the same stuff, and generalising about all...

Most people leave them until they're at the height/width they want them to stay at, but that also depends on how densely they're planted. Planted...
@Peaceful Gardener - I drag my photos from the folders and put them into my post. It can be a bit footery, but I find that the best way - easier...
Collared doves are much smaller than wood pigeons @Songbird . I'm delighted we have more of them this year. The breeding season has been very...
You don't really need grit @adamadamant, unless you're using compost that isn't draining well, but it won't do any harm. I know a lot of compost...

@Robert Bowen - sorry, I missed your post yesterday. We have loads of wood pigeons round here - good habitats everywhere, but they don't usually...
Good luck with your garden adventures @Peaceful Gardener . Re the autumn sowing - if you tell us what you like to grow, that will help with...
