I think I have a bees nest in my shed. They seem to be going into a crack between the roof and the front of shed above the door. They may be wasps but I don't think so.
If they are bees I don't mind but wonder how long they will be active. I didn't have the nerve to stick my head in the door and look up and wonder how big the nest will be?
I usually just lean in and grab tools so I can live with them being there.
Any info appreciated.

Hello Folks

A couple of my courgettes are thinner at the tip end and have gone a bit moudy??

I've made jam and strawberry tart  plus of course strawberries and cream,but what to do with small amounts of strawberries gathered daily?

I have been thinking about building a cold frame over the plots but as always, comming up with conflicting advice.

My questions are
1 wood or glass sides
2 Angle of top
3 shade, semi shade or full sun
4 optimum size


Any advice welcomed

Ok so I happened to look at how long I've been online on this forum and was quite surprised by the result. 

I then did a little check on some others here and felt a lot better about myself.   

Have a look and see if it scares you as it did me. 

Morning folks, I haven’t got a clue regards flowers, what are the white ones please?

Does anyone freeze courgettes?   I've tried and they've tasted horrid.  I don't mind them going mushy as they will go into soups, sauces, etc but how do you make them taste ok.

Probably there will be some members of the forum able to identify me from what we will call a previous life, while others will be like me unable to say who some of the forum members were in their previous life if the have changed their names, so as I like to read novels it made me wonder how many of us can identify famous authors who write books under a different name and if so who, again I am not one who can

My comfrey has been neglected and not been cut.  It is. Now very tall and has powdery mildew.  I've cut it down and there are new shoots appearing. Should I bin the prunings or compost them?  Has anyone else had this problem?

Tomato blight is always a question of when not if, but late June is a bit early. I've been stripping off the infected leaves almost daily, but today the blight hit the stems so I've chopped the plants off to below that point, but don't hold out much hope of harvesting very much. There are a few trusses, but one pineapple now has one truss and no leaves at all!!

The infected plants are marmande, bradywine & pineapple and are the first ones I planted out. Interestingly they are also the ones that stick out beneath the roof of the tomato shelter so have been rained on a little. The ground is mulched to avoid spash back - this is photo is last year's frame before planting with a straw mulch; I've gone back to grass clippings this year.     


Today I sprayed with Bordeaux mixture in the hope of saving the rest, but it is probably too late.
