Hi All,
I'm posting this for a friend who's devastated at the loss of his bike from a shed on Friday night. He's in the East Dulwich/ Peckham area. The tyres have been changed to all black now.
I know it's a very long shot but I said that I'd post it just in case.
The stolen bike details:
Ribble CGR Ti- titanium Medium size frame with Mavic Kyserium 30 Disc wheelset.

Agreed. First hand experience with spoke vs daughter's foot.

This isn't strictly gardening but it is bike and plant related. A colleague arranged for one of these to be put around the bike storage on their road. Apparently it involved quite a few letters to their local council, to get approval.

Hi, sorry to hear about the fitting issues. If it helps, herewith a picture with it on my old Gazelle. I've always used it with swept back bars.
I wouldn't recommend it but the upright position, meant that I could use it up until my child was much larger than the seat was intended for.
I felt more comfortable with this, than something where she was behind me.

Latest update on the 'wildflower' meadow is that I've start sticking cosmos plugs in it.
I'm loving these Aquilegia that I bought as bare roots and am hoping for a lot of spreading next year.
And I am a bit disappointed at the number of plants getting delivered 1-2 months late?! These hollyhocks will get destroyed by slugs!

Wow, I've only been there once near when it first opened. That's so much better than the golf course that it was before! It's Horniman-esque.

I've never had mine that extreme but they tend to start pink and then go to orange.
Are you the person that has the MASSIVE version, from last year?!

I've had only one or two of about the 20 Nectaroscordum siculum bulbs that I planted up, flower this year. I've posted a close-up also!

Hi All,

My Samson frameset is showing concerning cracks.

Does anyone have a 58cm Samson (or equivalent/ above) that they're willing to part with? Please let me know your price expectations.

As per the title, if anyone has a 58/9cm Look Madison (carbon) that would be great also. From memory, the Jamaican track team cycle on it.

Thanks,

Andrew

My first and only automatic.
It reminds me of the health bar on old school n64 goldeneye.
The strap has been changed and is now a slightly lighter tan.

One WeeRide bike seat, free to a good home and as per https://weeride.co.uk/shop/weeride-safe-front-deluxe-baby-bike-seat-blue/

It fits most bikes and the covers can come off, to put in the wash. If anyone wanted to transport a child in it immediately, I can put it in the washing machine for you.

This is collection only, from SE22.

I'll try to reply promptly but with the weekend approaching, may be a bit busy.

Camassia I think...

I thought that I put some in somewhere but none of mine have come up. Well done!

Thanks, I'll look out for Yellow Rattle in June. Alongside the bulbs, all I can see at the moment is grass with a spattering of birdsfoot trefoil, and something else that I'm yet to identify.

I saw a mature Camassia over the weekend and will put some of those bulbs in for next year as well.

Slightly bigger size and cheaper. I got the same one last year. Interestingly (sort of), I received some plants yesterday from hayloft that I ordered in May 2023!! https://www.sarahraven.com/products/holboellia-latifolia

I have a very small one which has provided negative growth, since I bought it a year or two ago.

Ha, sounds good to me!

Right. Approximately one year on. I'm still at battle with the grass. I lay yellow rattle seed last October-ish time but can't see any evidence of it yet. It's due to flower in about a month.
In the interim, I've also put in some supposedly perennial tulips to brighten my mood. I think that I may have put a load of Camassia in as well. Though also, I can - as yet - see no evidence of that.
Next year, along with more yellow rattle seed, I'm also thinking about putting some bare root perennials in.
F*ckin' 'ell! I just wanted a nice bit of wildflower meadow. Couple of poppies, etc.

Have sent a message about 3, after, punkture above.

Edit: Undibs as per dm

Yea, that's it. Karhu!

I like the sandals too, though there is the much cheaper Teva version: https://www.teva-eu.com/en/gb/men-sandals/hurricane-xlt-2/1019234.html?dwvar_1019234_color=DTEC

Thanks all!

Are these a blatant copy of another style? I feel like I've seen them everywhere for the past 2 years but have never heard of the brand?! Is this what middle-aged feels like?!

More Hellebores. The larger variety that I have are all flowering now, maybe encouraged by the cold snap that we had a month or so ago. The smaller variety are on the way out, after flowering back in December.

Dibs and PM'd

Thanks for the info.
2kg (ish) of greatness!

Wow, what an achievement!

Did you do anything interesting with the brisket's fat cap?

2nd dibs on the omniums and sorry about the situation. Will dm.

Hi Ed, good to see you and sorry that I couldn't ride with you, I was semi on duty with work.
Just after that picture, I remembered the scoble-bricks!
Unfortunately I didn't make it up Ditchling.
Best wishes,
Andrew
