Excuse the quality of the pics, I only had my phone with me. Today I spent ages watching a little sparrow (I think!) dust bathing in the newly dug over veggie bed. I no longer have my chooks and I used to love watching them in a dust bath so it was great to see this little dot of a bird having such ...

Voted, well done!

Ha, well done on your 1/2 lb! How rude of them to make a reference to your weight, veiled or not. Disgraceful! Cheeky b****ers!

Stunning picture

My very overgrown veggie plot is proving very tasty at the moment but unfortunately next week it is being sorted out. Will try to figure out where I can put some feeders that will not cause the dog to bark more than he does now! We have a nesting box on the house and the birds are driving him beserk!

Another success, well done Wendy and good luck Alan

Yay! for Cookie

2 off, chuffed to bits. Weight starts with a new number now - onwards & downwards! Hope you're all ok

Thank you, having looked on the website that they came from, I completely confused myself! They all seemed to recommend planting much earlier than now, for flowering about now! Think I just panicked a bit! Will throw them all into pots and see what happens!

A few weeks ago I found an offer to subscribers of the paper we get for summer bulbs, paying only postage. I then forgot all about them until they arrived this morning! It seems very late to be planting them - will they do anything if I plant them now or just flower later than usual? They would be p...
