I've sprayed everything with the hose pipe once (the floor is full of rescued plants and I can't get in). I would normally have watered everything by now. Last year I started a new outside job on the 4th April. That day was wet and then we never had any wet days until the Summer School Holidays. No ...

When the clocks change at the earliest.

The trick I found with seeds is (up to a point depending on your space) is to go big. I always tried to plant lots of seeds with the expectation that I would always loose a percentage of them. 20% off 10 is 8, 20% off 100 is 80. Having more seeds hides the losses as it were. . . They'll sort themsel...

I don't generally get spam - and if I do it goes in the spam folder. The only spam I get like this "can I ask a favour" is from people connected to the BCSS. I've found the emails in my deleted folder and checked the "raw messages" and Bill has signed off as BILL, exactly has he ...
