I've decided to expand from just growing potatoes every year and plant some Rhubarb!
Pretty excited by this TBH.
3 Timperley Early crowns have now gone in on top of 200l of homemade compost.
I'm sure they'll do just fine but struggling to see how you can get lush plants from wizened crowns :)

A Pearson Touché. Your biek is lovely.

A sweet forum stickered Red/Orange fades All City in the Greenwich Foot Tunnel this morning.

Finally going to resign you reckon?

DPC is shit. You need to find where the water is coming from.
Assuming your property is old, post a pic in the attached FB group and you may get some good advice.

Loving this as I WFH today.

The old owners should be condemned to hell for painting everything blue. Walls, doors, door surrounds, all the same blue. Lucky they left the ceiling.... Its taken more time than I care to admit to get the whole room white. Going to start on the door once the filler dries.

Legend! Helpful as always.

I'm about to paint some doors white that the previous owner had painted a fetching shade of blue. Regarding an undercoat where the blue colour won't bleed through and require 100 coats, is it Zinsser Bulls Eye that I want?

I still love my Footscray. I wish the new owners all the success in getting the brand back on its feet. Hambini is problematic in his own right.

Like a phoenix rising from the ashes!

The good people of Les Houches know how to allotment in mountain conditions.

Went to Wisley late last summer and ever since, have wanted a Paniculata Hydrangea.
I had said that I'd have not get any more as I've got 14 in the ground and 15 cuttings in pots however in a moment of madness last week, ordered this wonderful Hydrangea paniculata Vanille Fraise ('Renhy'PBR) specimen from Signature Hydrangeas in Kent.
Now where to put it :) In the pot in the shade till Autumn to nurse it through I think.

Yes, I left it out on the lawn last year connected to the sprinkler and it got chewed through. :(

I have the Gardena Classic too. My Hozelock got eaten by the foxes.

Does anyone have a Benchmarx kitchen and is the quality / longevity any good?

Helpful forum folk, does anyone know what this type of gate post cut on the top is called?

QQ, I've never had a garden when there's been a hosepipe ban on before. Assume I can fill a watering can from a hose then water from that?

Strong page!

I think my Fuschia is looking particularly attractive today. Flowers are long and pendulous

Ha! Luckily my back is fine, probably from riding with a large saddle to bar drop however, for some reason, my thighs were the sorest.

I bet they're all starting to suffer now.
There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about my own TCR experience.

Ah, that's excellent. What have you trained them along? Any chance of a pic? Trying to work out how to get them to grow along the fence.

Ha, it was sticky London clay combined with rocks, concrete, plates, old tiles etc so nothing but a spade and taking it down to undisturbed soil then removing all the detritus would work here unfortunately.
Finished up about an hour ago. Hopefully will sleep well tonight. I'm bit sure of the colour yet. It's a freebee from my mate who is a professional gardener and he's not said. It'll take a while for it all to settle back down to ground level and for the worms to do their thing with the compost. Today marks the 10 time in 2 years I've emptied the hotbin. Such an amazing purchase.

Halfway through digging /enlarging the border on the left hand side of the garden this morning. Tough going especially the area which was previously lawn. 3 rubble sacks and a couple of hundred kg of pavers/ bricks etc so far. Going to dig 200l of hot bin contents in and ultimately plant a climbing hydrangea there. I'm mourning the loss of my strength and the ability to work physically all day as I near 45 and sit in an office all day. :)
