You could loudly accuse them of misgendering you. "How dare you assume I'm a male!"
A little bit of rain overnight, but then clear skies and sunshine all day. Very windy though, and not pleasant to stay outside for too long....
This morning's view out of my bedroom window! Though the camera does rather compress the perspective and exaggerate the effect. It's better than...
I have a small lawn at the front, I have just planted a Hamamelis in the middle of it. It will take a good few years to grow to anything...
As a non-driver and a weakling, buying from the local GC isn't possible for me. I buy things like that from B&Q with home delivery. I wait until...

Yes, I really don't get the Hosta obsession.
I've seen those in the local garden centre. They cost a fortune too.
Maybe you're just in the wrong part of the country for Mahonia. In my neighbourhood, they grow as tall as small trees with similar spread, and are...
I have had one failure this year (at least it looks dead so far). My own fault; it didn't have any leaves on it but was the only one of that...

Narcissus "Bridal Crown" has just started flowering. I cut a stem to bring indoors so I could enjoy the fragrance. There are six flower heads on...
Whilst it was sad the tree was felled and definitely negatively affected the immediate landscape, I did think it was ridiculous to put lots of...
