I just prep the soil very lightly over winter with a sprinkle of 6X flakes thrown down. I do pot them on several times as seedlings before planting to have extra deep roots to find their way down deeper, so not relying totally on the prepped top area. If I note any signs of stress then I give them a...

Hi Robo, Lot's of reasons to be anaemic, not necessarily related to any active bleeding in your gut. You would note gut bleeding as your stool would be black & if you returned your NHS bowel swab it would have been picked up there. Did they send you the instructions & pills to clear your bow...

Today I decided to clear out the moss between the bricks on the back patio at home & refill with sand. It turned out one of those jobs that rewards you as takes little thought as you get in the swing but you get almost instant results to spur you on. Plan was to do it in thirds, but I did the lo...

Anything to do with cars turns out to be a pain in both cost & inconvenience. It has been a multitude of issues for you to deal with, but at least you had more positive news regarding your wife. Wishing you both the best & that the Golf serves you well for many years.

Hi All! Any idea what is happening to my lemon tree? It got sooty mould a month or so ago, but I managed to wash it all off & everything seemed OK, but recently it's leaves are yellowing & dropping along with the fruit & flowers. I looked online & tried the most recommended remedy wh...

Absolutely lovely day even though it was a bit cloudy on & off it was very mild. In & out getting the replacement wing mirror fitted in 30mins but had visitors this afternoon so didn't stay down long. Sowed a few things in the tunnel & got a bit more digging done on the brassica beds. To...

Drizzle today but persistent, but couldn't go down to the plot as waiting parts to come in to replace the wing mirror that got trashed by some git in the forest going too fast & actually undertook us! It is single lanes on the shortcuts, but with no holiday makers folk seem to forget the 20mph i...

Sorry to see your post Primrose, I would probably be putting one or two under my jumper as I keep & use some very useless pots that come with memories of the giver. Now & again I do a big cull of plastic pots which is a lot easier now as the Garden Centre has a drop off point & it's righ...

Lovely day down at the plot, no rain, no wind, sun shining although a little light cloud on & off & not particularly cold. Tunnel was 12.7C with both doors open & was 27C when I opened it up. The channels are working around the soggy beds, the beds are still quite wet but certainly bette...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PETER!

I hope you had a lovely day.

It must be getting closer to spring as Plum Beauty is now in flower, mind it has been slightly earlier! I haven't seen the little bees around since the blossoms opened but they were around earlier just as it was breaking bud. I left them a little feed of the caramel from the Yum Yum I bought down &a...

Good idea OH!

I will do a search & find which hardware is selling them. I did see one for a silly £29.99 while scrolling, that would be a bargain!

The plot thickens! I did not find the charger in the shed, but interestingly the charger is also missing from the old girlie drill which was definitely in the hard case it came in as it has a slot & I definitely recall packing it away so could be a back up if needed & I even wrapped the case...

I've done it again. I just can't say no! I am now the owner of a free bag of onion sets that came in a neighbours order. Not needed as I have 70 baby plants from seed all up & looking OK but.....these are supposed to big ones, (name alludes me just to be unhelpful)! I was pleased with last years...

Not successful chasing B&D re: the charger, but I have found a site that sells them; but at over £30. The house has been turned upside down so I think I am pretty assured it is not at home. I also ruled out accidentally throwing it away as the actual plug into the socket is attached not another ...
