    Flinster, my niece and nephew are like that.  My niece explored everything, jumped out of trees, jumped in pools,physically fearless.

    My nephew, on the other hand .... scared of his own shadow since birth, bless him.  

    My niece is now travelling through Europe, aged 18, with a friend from Uni.  My nephew, 16,  is at home with his parents playing on his PS4.

    Yes! Screens are safe lol! To be fair to him, my son has high functioning autism so it’s just his sensitivities, the way he is. My daughter is also on the autistic spectrum, but has different issues.. dirt and nature aren’t one of them lol!

    Can anyone identify this please? I had to take the photo from space, sorry its blurry. It's the green dot next to the other green dots. I think it's probably japanese knotweed because my neighbour said he once saw japanese knotweed and that was green as well.

    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    My boyfriend thinks it's a flesh-eating triffid, I think it's a pansy. Could you settle the argument?

    Please help. I recently removed an old Medieval knot garden and had it replaced with turf. I’ve just used 63 boxes of Evergreen 4 in 1 on it, (the box said only to use 2 teaspoonfuls but I presume instructions are only for decoration) and now it’s looks like the aftermath of a global thermo nuclear war. Will it regrow, should I add more Evergreen 4 in 1?

    Maybe I should AstroTurf it to be safe

    I have removed my whole garden and replaced it with plastic. I would love to attract wildlife. Please advise.
