I did enjoy seeing Monty take basal cuttings.He explained how it sounded like very advanced gardening but was in fact quite easy and advising the viewer they had nothing to lose and everything to gain.He then brought up the propagator issue and said if you haven't got one,to just place a clear plastic bag over the plant.I followed this advice and now have another Delphinium,the first time I'd ever tried it
I shall take a photo of Alan and Alan if I get a chance. The other day, they were playing knock down ginger at the front door (all glass). There were three loud taps on the glass, but when I went to answer, all I could see was their naughty backsides scooting off up the drive.
We had pheasants at my last house Bee, and Mrs Pheasant liked to come on the stone windowsills of the lounge and peck on the window
Have you tried one of those insect screen thingies for your greenhouse door? Might do the trick. When my girls had guinea pigs we had a hutch in their wendy house for them (the piggies not the girls...) and I made a door with that fine metal mesh so that we could leave the door open when it was hot and the guinea pigs could run about safely inside.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I think dear old Monty,god bless him, perhaps lives a different life to many of us and where a couple hundred pounds for example may be nothing to him ,it is to others.Of course he cant cater for everyone and he is interesting and gives good advice,you just have to laugh at let it pass. Carol for me is more nearer to my line of thought .
Don't I need the bees to come in and pollinate the tomatoes, cucumbers, chillies and peppers though? They come in through the door most often, so I just leave it open sufficiently that my girls from the hive can come in, but the Alans are excluded, but today I had to risk it being open wider to get better circulation going, but no sign of the Alans - probably knew I was trying to shoot them with the camera. Our resident pheasant, Ib, has moved a couple of houses down - not sure why, or maybe that's another pheasant crowing over its territory, and Ib's partner and chicks moved on from our paddock of nettles. I haven't seen last night's GW, but I will either see it on i-player or tomorrow morning's showing.

Are they French Redlegs or English BB - if they're French shouldn't they be Alain?

We never did define 'average gardener' did we?
I don't think I want to be average

I'm very average nut.
In every way...
This thread sounds like that Monty Python sketch where they were all called Bruce...
