Jenny,FGM, surely that's illegal!! Mine,two fold,we just had a decent shower, got the washing in seconds before,no more gardening, vacuuming the living room. .... found the £20 note great granny sent my grandson for Easter. Actually,that's three-fold!
Hooray! Been sitting on my hands, looking at the greenfly on a favourite rose, brought here as a cutting from my previous garden. The ladybird I transferred to the rose yesterday was unimpressed by the food on offer. But this morning the blue tits carefully removed each aphid and the bush is completely clean.
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
That's what I call team work @Liriodendron. Works with our garden birds too. I feed the adults and they clean up aphids for their bairns.
Back in November whilst hen-sitting Scruffy who was isolated in the polytunnel being treated for a severe case of intestinal parasites (thank you snails) I sowed loads of seeds - trees, shrubs, perennials, wildflowers - and stashed them in my mini greenhouses in the PT.
It's taken ages but today I have a teeny weeny abies koreana, a cercis canadensis and 2 eucalyptus rubida to nurture along with all the other stuff that has already popped and been potted on or planted out already.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

RTBC today is that the sun came out after all the squally showers, and the washing got well enough dried. The wind did a good job.
The sparrows have been hoovering up some greenfly here. I don't get many at this time of year, but the Euphorbia has had a little flurry. I couldn't understand why one stem of the Aquilegia next to it was looking a bit askew, until I saw Mr Sparrow bouncing on it to reach them
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Plodding round B and Q in search of boring DIY stuff yesterday. Didn’t actually notice the Muzak in the background, until they started playing ‘Together in Electric Dreams’! An old favourite of mine, put a spring in my step.

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
