I am just about to go out and sort all the seedlings (again), night and morning, it's taking about half an hour each time now. It about protection from mice/vole as much as anything.

I am just wondering if the Cosmos and Gaillarde would really succumb if they were in sheltered groups in the ground, some of them are bursting out of the pots again now.

Morning everyone, lovely listening to the blackbirds this morning. Is nothing sacred? I have just started a new box of porridge it's a very well known Scottish brand. They have changed the packaging, the kilted athlete in the picture has been made younger, & blue is a different shade. It's akin to changing superman's cape😂.
