Not sure what I'll do today. Think it'll get too hot for me later. Possibly some painting in the shed, and see what else I can do in there. I...
A Jersey Tiger I think @Jenny namaste :smile:I often see wheatears in spring on the lower slopes of our hills @strongylodon. My foot problems...
I've kept them in containers for quite long periods without any problems, but this is where conditions have an effect. Proper soil, and not drying...
I had made a little purpose built box for bees many years ago, after I'd seen them nesting in the hog house I'd made. Needless to say, they didn't...
Yes - the consistency of the products seems to be a big factor @shiney . You have to wonder about some of these Bills, don't you? No one seems to...
A shade loving fern in too sunny/dry a site will always struggle more than those ferns that actually enjoy some sun and drier conditions. It's not...
Totally agree about the pollinators @pete. Wasps get such a bad press. I have them nesting in the garden every year - in various sites. This year...
I grew the white Cobaea one year, and it did well @Escarpment, but I preferred it in bud rather then the actual flower! The seedheads were lovely...
I'd agree with you about the peat free compost @shiney. It's fine as a mulch, but not much more- unless you sieve it, and then you're left with...
Yes - a big difference between trees gradually changing to their autumn colours, and changing because they're under stress. The early dropping of...
The state my back's in now - it could be tempting @shiney, but I'd need to 'get a man in' to do it! :heehee:I passed a nearby house yesterday,...
I'd disagree with that re the spreading cotoneasters @ViewAhead . They're really useful on banks or slopes where the ground is poor, or if it's a...
Climate has always changed, but it's the recent speed at which things have altered that's creating the bulk of the problems now. As @Philippa...
Last summer was a more normal one here @pete , but there's no doubt things are changing - more severely in some places. It's about adapting and...
I think your hot, dry weather has probably caused that @Plantminded . Sun/wind on the most exposed foliage. Trees here are just starting to turn -...
@Chilled - don't worry about it. It's at a size where it should be easy enough to dig out. If your ground's very dry, give it a bucket of water...
I was under the impression that the little Cotoneaster I have in the front garden was horizontalis [the name suits it well ] but it seems I'm...
It's the large swings in the weather/climate that cause the biggest problems IMO @pete . We're seeing that up here, because we now get more...
Just eat one and see....;) As it's in a pot, it may not be very happy for much longer @PaulinGlassgow. As @Adam I has said, it doesn't look too...
They reminded me a bit of the vultures in The Jungle Book [which, vocally, were based on The Beatles ] sitting chatting. I saw 2 rooks yesterday...
