The Fens. Was working in a house with no heating and found it quite mild. How lovely not to be freezing cold, the sunshine was a real blessing.

Rosa Carriola, how about 'guy ropes' as on a tent; attach several to tree and then attach to rim of pot It is very blowy in the Fens, hope it dies down soon.

I love saying to people, 'I have great tits in my garden!' I adore the gold finches and the collared doves who sit on the fence appearing to kiss each other and waiting for the smaller birds to drop food on the ground.

CurlyCarly, I agree about the need for silent tools; the same technology could be used for vacuum cleaners.

What not to grow

Green Magpie, i agree with you about Scozonera and Aparagus Peas. I love cavalo Nero, and have some growing at the moment, I treat it as a cut and come again plant. I roll the leaves up tightly and slice them fine and then steam.

Have just noticed how bad the gardenia on the kitchen windowsill is looking. The leaves are yellowing and the buds form, then go dry and beige/brown. I was told to water it with cold tea when I bought it, but am not sure that was a good idea!

Any advice, gratefully received.

What to do with unused space?

How about a properly oganised outdoor storage area; treated timber shelves to store flowerpots, as mentioned sacks of leaf mould, compost, yard broom, kindling, buckets etc.
