    IN OUR GARDENS 2025

    This is only my first year of going for it with the bulbs. Problem, birds pecking the bulbs!!!! So, the Internet tells me I should use 'cloches'!!!!!! I need to do an assessment on how many 'cloches' I need. Any ideas on where to get such items as cheap as possible would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi all, hope you are all keeping well? Lots of bulbs coming through in my pots. I don't know about anyone else, but, it's just pleasing to see signs of life in the garden in January. I mean 'new green bulb shoots' by signs of life!!!!

    Of course, Raymond's, Mr Teasy Weazy, New St, Birmingham has to be the first that springs to mind!!!!! But I'd like to hear of any other salons that would have been popular in Birmingham in the 60's, 70's and 80's etc. Any pics would be fabulous, surely there must be a Raymond's photo out...

    Hi all, hope you are ok, I've been busy with eye hospitals, car accidents (nothing serious), decorating, not to mention keeping on top of things in the garden. Loads of slugs this year, big ones too. Will post some pics later.

    Weather really nice here today. I've spent 5 hours in the garden. Tidying, potting on, re-potting. Just right for working as it wasn't too warm. It will probably hammer it down with rain tomorrow!!!!!

    We've had some fabulous weather here over the Bank Holiday. Hope everyone else has enjoyed at least some of the sun. Interesting info on the bluebells. I had noticed lighter and darker colours, I just thought the lighter ones were probably in more shade and the colour hadn't come out. I've...
