Alys Fowler will be giving a talk on peat bogs and the need for going peat-free in our gardens on 25th March in Sheffield. Hoping they'll also have copies of their book for sale too.

I have snowdrop, crocus, and snakes head fritillary bulbs arriving today and from another supplier seeds for marsh marigold, ragged robin, water mind, and water forget-me-not for around the pond. I still need to find a tulip to dissect for #Identiplant though.

🥔 In the UK, September is the perfect month to harvest these spuds. Keep them dry and store in a cool, dark place for the winter months ahead. Happy harvesting! 🌱 #PotatoHarvest #GardeningUK #GrowYourOwn

UK plant owners should repot houseplants into pots 1-2 inches larger only when roots are visible. Learn why this helps your plants grow.

UK gardeners are advised to only increase pot size by 1-2 inches for houseplants. This is a small change but important for plant health.

So, what are we all growing?

Found a patch of poison hemlock (Conium maculatum) hiding at the far end of my garden so what was going to be a mulching session in the garden turned in to a pulling up hemlock session instead.

Also found a mole hill, had no idea there were moles visiting my garden! I know they're not popular with everybody but I don't grow much that they can destroy.

Also got told off by a robin that was perched next to the empty feeding station so of course I dutifully topped it up

We've spotted a couple of crab apple trees and thought it'd be fun to check out some recipes. Other than Crab Apple Jelly.
This is a US based list, but conversion tables are easy to find.
