We never planted it but as others have said it can be a nightmare. It is over all the garden and we have to keep digging it out to hopefully stop...
Well I planted out garlic very late this year (should have been last year). Out of 10 cloves 9 are growing and showing good strong leaves. I never...
All hands to the pump this morning! Planted out seedlings of pea beans, dwarf french beans and the next lot of dwarf broad beans. The first ones...
And then a hornet again. The same one or another? Must have come through from one of the bedroom windows and then flew down into the sitting room...
@Robert Bowen I only use what is in the garden. Normally I would also do elderflower after the primroses but we had to cut back the huge elder...
Green woodpecker in the orchard after the ants. Lovely to watch. Have a video but too large to attach.

Still behind the times but then we must start somewhere! Sowed some sweet corn in pots and then indoors (no room in the tunnel). Again sowed some...

Our Morello is in the ground but then we have space to do so. This year is the best flowering in 10 years. Thankfully the birds aren't to keen on...

Sitting quietly reading my book indoors and a very loud buzzing near my ear. Turned round and a hornet alighted on one of the window panes. We...
Brimstone and orange tips around the garden. Then while we were working near the tree peony a bee (sorry didn't see what it was) buzzed by us and...
We also use old ones that have cracked and in pieces for putting in other pots for drainage. We have never thrown away any broken clay pots. We...
Sowed yet more corn poppies in different places. How come ones come up where I haven't sown and where I have very few do? Harvested some more...
@Escarpment The ferns in our garden started in one place and now are all over the place. We don't mind as we love how they look. The spores are so...
@Liriodendron Stunning gentian photo. We worked in Galway many decades ago and made a lovely visit to the Burren and have never forgotten the...
What about chocolate vine, Akebia quinata? We had it growing on the north side of our polytunnel and it did very well. We then had a new tunnel...
