Team Jones have had a reasonable day budding today, finished at 6.30pm…. not bad for us oldies! Glad to see some sunshine after having 30+mm of rain yesterday and last night, but it’s all been soaked up! Wine and unwind time! #jonestherose #buddingroses #rosegrower #cheshire #🇬🇧

Advice please from rhubarb growers. My plant has grown a large stem in the middle of it looking almost like it’s about to flower. Do I remove it ? The stem seems hollow.

@tassimo_uk had no problems with delivery until they switched to Evri! My order has been in transit since 21st, going to be delivered every day since then until it dropped off tracking. No response from Tassimo, just tried to ring them again and gave up after 30 minutes. – at East Pennard, England

Ugni molinae - Chilian Guava, just about ripe and each berry so flavoursome! The last berry in my garden.

Popped to the allotments this morning and to my dismay.
Something is eating my pepper leaves away.
Searched but no culprit can be found.
It must be hiding underground!
Now I am off to Weston Super Mare.
To talk to a gardening club over there.

At last the asparagus season has begun.
I love these with ham and cheese it’s how mine are done.
The dry weather as made the harvest late.
With plenty of watering they are growing great.
The season for these is about six weeks long.
So enjoy them now it won’t last long.
