Suggestions wanted for no messing about perennials that will act as ground cover and need minimal weeding.  Something like perennial geraniums or Michaelmas daisies.
Bonus points for long flowering, bee-friendly, non dead-heading, attractive flowers.
I want to fill up odd spaces with undemanding flowers that are easy to grow. Don't mention montbretia or vinca please.

Do we have a winner of the Harvest Festival competition yet?

How exactly has veggie managed so many more posts than everybody else? 
It’s nearly double mine and we joined on the same day! 
Anyone any idea? 
Maybe the lady herself could explain it             

Today I picked up a bag of assorted junk - it was much bigger and heavier than I expected.
In amongst the odds and ends was a tub of money - bank notes and coins. The Notes were Indian Rupees but I could see some UK coins in amongst the rest..
I messaged the donor and asked him if he had intended to put the money in the bag. 
His reply :-
Yeah, they're all foreign and I didn't have the time/energy to sort them. Hopefully they're worth something.

1. How much do you think the UK coins were worth?

2. How many different currencies were there

3. Can you guess what they are?

   




Think that says it all 

   


Woooooohaaaaaaaaaaaa Miserable Bin Eeeekk

I know there's been some chatter about making candles on the Reduce etc thread but I thought I'd start a dedicated thread to gather knowledge from you crafty lot. 
I've collected a bag of part used candles in jars and loose wax and want to melt it down and remake it into candles again. I need to source some wicks so wondered whether you had any recommendations. 
Vinny was talking about making candles - did you and how did it go?

     
Something odd has happened to my Echinacea this year. - The seed heads are germinating. 
Sorry about the rubbish photo - it was windy and wouldn't stay still.

I scored a pathetic 4/10. 
Gotto go back and watch some of those clips, next time it rains. I remember Fanny & Johnny Craddock - poor Johnny. He said something like "Fanny's got a bun in the oven" and it was a classic clip for years.
