Anemone "Ruffled Swan". Very glad I bought this plant a few weeks ago, it's done a good job of brightening up the garden in the gloomy weather....
Finally a beautiful sunny autumn day. Quite breezy at lunchtime after being completely still for days before.[ATTACH]
I have just binge watched the entire new series of Monkey Life on Sky/Now TV. It's about the work of the Monkey World sanctuary in Dorset, there...
Did some pots of bulbs this afternoon, the last of my Narcissus. Not a minute too soon, a couple of the bulbs had already gone soft. Also had a...
That's good to know @Selleri as I am currently browsing their Ebay shop ...
I got my shrubs planted out in the front garden. Found there was a load of rubble and gravel under the area I cleared - my house is more than 50...
I can see a tiny little patch of blue sky, as my grandmother used to say: "just enough to make a shirt for a sailor". Hopefully all this murk will...
Yesterday I cut down most of the dead box hedge in the front garden; the green bin is now full ready for collection in the week. Then I started...
My latest shrub purchases: Drimys Aramatico and Hamamelis Arnold Promise. I had no idea what the Drimys was, but the foliage is so pretty and with...
The old ones are worse!

I've still got the angle irons in my garden, I'll have to take a look. In some places they are still the only boundary and the wiring has long...
That's awful. There is no law that says they have to erect a fence - even if they are responsible for the boundary. But by law they are supposed...
I was going to say the same about the wind, then I thought of all the gales and horrible weather we've had this summer/autumn already - if it's...
No, I've never peeled one either. The green skins add to the visual appeal of the meal.
Just spent a couple of hours in the garden this afternoon, planting some bulbs. 15 cyclamen coum and 28 camassia. Still got another dozen camassia...
It probably depends where you're buying them from - I can't remember experiencing it either. But I can imagine that waxing them is something some...
Well I definitely didn't get it on my home grown courgettes, the few tiny ones I managed to grow as they hated the cool wet summer!
Sounds like they are waxed to stop them drying out - like they do for citrus fruit.
I have been planting out cyclamen corms today, and I researched first and read that squirrels are partial to them, so I've put some chicken wire...
