I keep my flour totally isolated now and away from the kitchen. Flour mites are an absolute pain to get rid of. If my flour moves, that's all I need to bin.
School holidays, day two: oldest boy has brought home a last minute cold and only takes breaks between inessesent high volume talking to wipe his nose or cough over everything. I've already heard the word 'dad' 4384 times since they broke up. Hiding in the bathroom only serves to highlight just how loud my tinnitus is. I've already used one of the emergency Lego sets to distract the youngest and will pay for this by having to rebuild the thing every 20 minutes for the next six weeks.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
I won’t be growing lobelia Crystal Palace in pots again. I have just picked 3 snails and 28 slugs off one pot, and they weren’t little keel slugs either, no these were great fat brazen lads making no attempt to hide around the rim. The lobelia in the other pot are completely shredded. That one is now a lost cause so I let the bunch of slugs and snails which were on it stay there.
@B3 I wouldn't want the issues they have in many parts of Europe at the moment. I would though like maybe 10 of their degrees, I'm sure they can spare them.
Nooo @KT53 .10 degrees hotter would be high 20s, getting on for 30 C which is too damn hot. It's grand just as it is. a bit of 🌞 would be nice but not at the expense of lovely rain and pleasantly cool temperatures to keep the garden growing well.
Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
Not having been on the forum for years I've been noodling about reading over old threads. The number of unnecessarily brusque and snarky comments is shocking. I'm not with the FBI but my profiling results are interesting. So far, with no exceptions, they come from one demographic. Can you guess which one?

plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose
