Garden is a few days away from showing lots of colour hopefully. Good year for the Iris' with a record 7 stalks. The red Ranunculus has been flowering for a few weeks but this spectacular orange one has started flowering too.
Roses just about out and the Alliums nearly there too.

Agreed, when we had a car, I loved going there. Nice cafe and outdoor seating area/garden too.

RAW Stealth Black & TNRC.
On the wrong bikes though.

Ordered 12 plants 3 weeks ago. Only received 6 so far and the others have no dispatch date yet. They don't answer emails and don't answer their phone. Have a look at Trust pilot. Think they score about 1.9! Had something similar happen when ordering a birthday gift previously but gave them the benefit of the doubt.

Planted 6 foxglove plants in our front garden. My partners suggestion. Not normally my sort of thing but these are a variety called Suttons Apricot and look to be a nice colour. Hopefully, they'll take off as there's 600l of homemade compost dug in that border. Some self seeded poppies coming up too. Alliums hopefully out within the next fortnight.
Avoid ordering from Sarah Raven, a proper shit show.

I need some new tubulars for my Blue Riband as the old ones have perished past redemption. Any suggestions for something all black that doesn't look too modern?

First time ever trying to grow potatoes.
Will they go green if I don't mound the dirt up?
Pretty excited TBH, they're coming up like weeds!

Composting is all about getting your carbon and nitrogen ratios right. When I say browns, I mean a source of carbon. Dead leaves, shredded cardboard etc. If it smells, it will be going anaerobic so chuck more shredded card in.
If it's going cold, put some grass or another source of Nitrogen in.

It shouldn't smell. If it does, add more browns.
I let mine get right to the top before I empty it.

Just on the train back from Chichister with that sweet Blue Riband SWB tandem. It's a thing of beauty.

This has a great flow

Sounds like sound advice!
What's the gold standard in consumer units?
Anyone recommend any good electrician Instagram accounts etc so I can get a feel for what good looks like?

Thanks all. Just had all the heating (unvented cylinder installed and boiler replaced) and most plumbing replaced so floors up etc. House in a constant state of redecoration :)

Had my first Pfizer on Tuesday at Guys Vaccination Centre 2.
Just finding it uncomfortable to lift the arm above my head. All good otherwise.
God bless the NHS.

Anyone had a house rewired recently?
4 bedrooms. Looking to know what it roughly costs.

Just purchased my ticket for Download 2022!
And a Sunday ticket for Desertfest!

Somali Yacht Club! Excellent

Amazing!

I channeled your spirit here and just emptied the contents of the compost bin into the ground where I'd removed the paving stones. Put some potatoes in with some stakes to keep the foxes and cats from shitting there. Haven't grown any veges since I was a boy. Wish me luck (don't really know what I'm doing).

So I just won the Blue Riband tandem that come up on ebay.
A perfect match to my other Blue Riband.
Anyone got any classic tandem builds for inspiration?
Not sure how to tell the family there's yet another bike arriving.

Ta!

Can anyone recommend an online kitchen designer / planner where you can put your own dimensions in and it spits a 3d plan out?

Have had this on repeat, such a great track.
