I've not seen a peacock b'fly since spring @Michael Hewett and it would have been an overwintering one - very ragged. They're normally quite...
I dug out a couple of plants yesterday that I want to move and replace with other things. Took a while, as one involved clearing some planting...
Clue's in the title - ie 'HOT chocolate'. How dumb do you have to be to think it ISN'T hot, and can therefore possibly burn your skin. This...
Thanks @Michael Hewett . I looked it up later, and came to that conclusion too! :smile: We never used to get them here, but I got a few pix last...
Got the grass cut yesterday and all the edges sorted, just in time for the rain to start, so that was ideal. Planted a clump of Hackonechloa at...

It was commonly believed that girls/women couldn't have autism, hence the many women who have spent their lives 'masking'. I'm very much in that...
I've grown Pam's Choice in the past @machtucker - which is white with dark purple spotting.It just crosssed with the wild ones after a year or so....
I'm not going to comment much about the wee girl at that school. I was beyond furious when I read it. Apparently, they've now apologised, after...
Tootie had some pals on Monday, although I don't think he was too pleased about it! [ATTACH] 3 chaffinches were in earlier today, and one was...
I'm fed up spending money to keep other people's 'pets' out of my property. Those serious spike things might work @Ditherer , but I don't really...
I find labels get obscured quite quickly here with weather. I use Sharpies on anything that's staying indoors for a while - ie early sown seed in...
