Welcome to my garden channel. My garden is in Zone 8 on the North East coast of the UK and I've been gardening here for around 20 years, using the No Dig approach perfected by the gardener Charles Dowding. My allotment garden has changed many times over my gardening years. We now have half the garden set out in a traditional style allotment garden, the other half of the garden is all raised beds built by myself.

    You could always take one of each plant home (just incase) because it’s odd how fast the heat came on. Plus they’d be cooler in your kitchen, although maybe they’d have a problem with temperature change. It’s hard to know what to do really. All the best ❤

    You can plant the little bulbils on your elephant garlic... they take about two years to grow 🙂 and we have a purple and silver metal door curtain on our back door as we get so many flies where we are in rural Cumbria because we back onto horse and sheep paddocks and there's cows everywhere too... and it's brilliant!!

    Tony what’s attracting the flies, we have our conservatory doors open all day long and don’t get any flies, I once had a Sparrow Hawk fly in but it flew straight out. Just picked our first Onions Senshyu Yellow grown in 10’’ ex flower buckets.

    Utterly brilliant DIY Tony 😂😂 too funny loved the music it set it all off so well. Glad you managed to rescue the drill bit although you could have stil hung the curtain from that!! My daughter was at Sycamore Gap at the beginning of June and sent us piccies. They were rock climbing at the crag along the wall a bit. Great views from there. Looks so bare though now 😢😢

    What they did to the Sycamore Gap and Stone Henge today is unforgivable. At least what those developers did to the wonky Inn, will have to be rebuilt but to meet standards now. So it will still be wonky but a bit safer now thanks to the developers investments. Our tomatoes are normally like that outside in London come this time of year but the weather has really affected the growth. Our trusses are a lot closer together this year, i have noticed. I have also gaffer taped some splitting stems before and they still manage to hang in there! lol Cucumber party at yours then Tony!? lol Will you pickle some of them? I'd love one of those magnetic fly door screens with the flaps but our door opens outwards and we have blinds along the door sized conservatory windows. Whenever i get a drill bit stuck, i tightening it back on and stick it in reverse. We used to use our chuck one but the bit wore out. I replaced it but it isn't the same since. I have a manual tightening drill now and a big girl sds masonry drill now as our house has a concrete ceiling and internal walls and we also used it to knock through a wall during the renovation. Drilling holes around the lintels for blinds were a pain in the ass as you would hit the metal so you have to go in gently poking a bit at time, in and out or else it would have a big hole. I kinda realised that when removed the didos from around the room at the top of the door height. They had used massive wooden wedges as wall plugs and 3 inch nails to attach a 5cm x 1cm piece of wood to the wall! Luckily, we had to get the walls plastered anyway after removing the 5 layers of wallpaper from the walls and ceiling as i was chasing in sockets, etc. Our house renovation reminded me of that song Right said Fred, not the too sexy band but the older one, where they were trying to remove a piano and had a cuppa tea! lol Take care!
