I'll keep an eye on them for the tomatoes @NigelJ ! I've certainly not had a problem with them eating mine in the past, it's only ever been...
I can't help with plants that like chalk @FelicityA , as we don't have that here, but others will be able to offer suitable suggestions, and you...
Have you tried putting water in it @mazambo , just to see if any of the existing cracks leak? I think you could drill holes by using some...
I agree too- if you can get them potted up individually soon - maybe with hubby's help [it won't be too tricky!] that will also help, because if...
Many thanks @strongylodon - I knew you'd ID it! I get them quite often, but I just couldn't recall the name. My memory's terrible nowadays. I...
Got my walk dry [almost] @lizzie27 , but the rest of the day was pretty much a washout, so I only did a few bits and pieces later in the afternoon...
I agree re forums being very useful for finding plants that we would otherwise no nothing about, and the internet obviously makes it easier to...

I've just read your post @KT53 re your great nephew. That childminder should definitely not be allowed to continue working with children. My...
We have loads of self seeding [sporing @Selleri ! ;)] ferns around the garden, and everywhere around here, and I also used to grow the evergreen...
I grow the other dark Ipomoea @ViewAhead - Black Knight. It's almost identical to Grandpa Ott. Very easy from seed, and also easy to collect the...

They've recently switched to every 2nd day for letters @pete, but parcels are different, and haven't changed. I only know that because I had to...
I can't see any toys @Goldenlily26 - I must be looking at a different pic! Certainly, if there are children, trying to keep grass 'perfect' is a...
Tinned plum tomatoes are still widely used up here for cooked breakfasts, especially further north in tourist areas. Easier for them than trying...
