Last year we worked out way through the alphabet listing the things we'd like to find behind our Advent calendar windows and doors. https://gardenandgossip.org/showthread.p...ght=advent
For a change, let's list the items we would NOT like to find in our calendar. 

Starting with A, of course.

I need inspiration and who better to ask than the brainy/nutty people here.

As you know, I'm trying to garden, using a 3 week rotation plan - Wk 1 = Roots & Shoots; Wk 2 = Fruits & Wk 3 = Leaves. I'm getting ready for 2025 and some sort of diary/action plan is needed. Conventional diaries are in months of 4 weeks which doesn't adapt easily to my 3 week rotation.

I'm looking for a word to describe an interval of "3 weeks". There are 17 of these "3 weeks" in a year. The year starts on the first Monday and ends on the last Sunday. The odd days at the  end and beginning of the year are "rest" days.

Needless to say, it doesn't have to be a "real" word.  Something like:-

Threeks
Trims
Triplans
Triplots
Trill
Trio
Tricks
Trickles

I've picked up another random selection of FREE food from the Prawn Lady so I thought I'd ask you for suggestions on how you would use it! Quite challenging today. 

Avocado x 9
Celery heads x 2
Lemons x 9
Herbs - Mint, Dill, Parsley
Rainbow carrots
Small pots of Sage butter (for pasta) x 4
Wholemeal loaf.

PS I'm not a big fan of celery!

..............as the title says!

I'm Fluffy Nugget or Sleepy Nugget. 

Google lens didn’t help. But then it does look like many different varieties. So can anyone ID this please?

    It’s a ground cover ( spread well ) . It’s one of the plant Bob brought home yesterday.

I’ve identified the other plant he brought home as London pride saxifraga x urbium

When do you know your sweetcorn is ready for picking? I’m starting to think it might be a bit late for it to get to fully ripe. I definitely have one cob on each plant but don’t know what signs to look for to say it’s really. 
I picked 4 big fat slug of the plants this morning. Even with all the defences I put in place.

I haven't seen him posting for a while, unless I have missed his posts? Hope he's OK?

Come back Admin, alli s forgiven!

I harboured the thought of putting up a picture of P, as the pest but thought better of it  

Here's a picture from our local 'Nextdoor' website.  It says the insects are on a Norwegian spruce and elsewhere. I can't find anything on Google about aphids or weevils with a white bum. Can anyone shed any light what they are? Unfortunately I've no further information.
