I will be out there trying to see it, weather permitting, though I don't know whether you need a telescope for it to become visible?

Morning Folks
 
As you can see from the photos the leeks and onions seem to be doing well, the bulbs were planted last month.
 
The question is should I leave them indoors until next year or put them out?
 
If out my view was they would sit in the yard and be planted at the plot Feb/Mar?

       

The onions are the first photo.

What's yours like?

Ours is artificial, why? Cos it was cheap in Tescos.  Only just got it out today,  the lights are on it, but not decorated yet.  Nothing designer for me, some bits and baubles dating back to my childhood and festive makes of the lad's from the '90s. Plenty of mum's favourites in memorium.
Will try to post a pic when it's finished. 

Other peoples pics  would be nice too.

As a follow on to the organic gardening, could you let us know how you use natural control of pest and disease of your garden plants 
 French marigold to control whitefly in the greenhouse
Feed the birds all year round and while they are waiting their turn at the feeder they clear insects from your flowers (it is advisable to clean below the feeders regularly as uneaten seed can encourage vermin)
If you have clubroot in your garden it is still possible to grow brassica, use cover, cloch etc. to warm up the soil and get the plants in early so that the roots establish before the fungus starts moving about June (though this date could be getting earlier now)

Today I have cut down quite a bit of hawthorn and now wondering what I should do with it, should I cut it down a bit more and put it into a recycling bin, doing that it will take about 6 weeks to get rid of it as it is only collected every 2 weeks, should I  put it through a shredder and compost it or use as mulch or should I burn it and use the ash in the garden

Not been ‘online gardening’ much since the Spring so had to wrack my brain to remember the forum name. Anyway, here at last. In case you’re wondering who I was at the other place, I could be a bit of a Diva, but promise to be on my best behaviour now my name has been shortened.  Hope everyone is well and thriving, and look forward to catching up on the gossip

Just wondering how many folks on this forum are totaly organic,  my self I do use chemical feeds basicly because I have them, though nowadays I grow my veg. organically the flower beds a mix of both and my flower baskets are generally grown using chemical feeding, what do you use and why?

Does anyone make their own mulled wine? 
I’ve got lots of wine in at the moment so was going to make my own. Lots of recipes on the interweb that look good. 
A tried and tested one would be marvellous.
