I live in a country where snails are a delicacy they taste like black rubber and garlic
July is a month when gardening should be kept to minimum, it's the holidays. The holiday in France start at the beginning of July. That applies to HW too.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Plantpauper and Muddle, I have a confession, I've been doing stuff in the said mucky bit, however, you will be happy to know that in doing so I have dispersed mess to a wider and completely different section of the garden! the mucky bit does have plans but only as this is the only part that isn't overlooked. The mucky bit is moving and getting bigger! Dove, you gonna bust with pride when I'm done!
I will take pictures to reassure all of my continued neglect and botch jobs!
Glad to see GoS revived in my absence. I assumed that shameful secrets would be cloaked in a mantle of summer flowers - much like snow hides a multitude of sloth. Roadsides awash with wildflowers in Ireland but I was too lazy to get out of the car to photograph them.
Arrived home in the dark. Neighbour has been looking after my plants and from what I can see , even the deadheading has been done so I'm honour bound to keep up the good work. Will have to sweep stuff under the proverbial carpet for a while.
Saw the article about organic slime. I am now becoming concerned about dogs, cats and farm animals which have been organically reared and what H&B might be considering
Welcome to the forum Newb and to the glorious Gallery of Shame! That's just one of the poor specimens I found yesterday. Obviously the rest of my garden is lovely.

Isn't it past your bedtime ?
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

How does one know when it is the right time to pot on?
Thanks.
You pot on when something gets potbound. Doesnt look like that is the case

I think it's voting with its feet! In the GoS plants need to learn self-reliance early. We're doing them a favour really
FG and all those other people who know stuff are always saying "don't make your plants into softies". I'm rearing these for UFC!
What's UFC? Is it a football team?
