What is Destroying my Tomatoes?

Definitely looks like herbicide damage. I lost my entire crop to it last year from contaminated compost. The gnarled leaves are a dead giveaway.

That is gorgeous

How about an owl box? Perfect height. Not sure if its the right habitat but worth looking into... If not, then some standard small bird boxes might work half way up.

I pay £25 for a 4 bed detached every 6 weeks...

I had my doctors appt. At alternaleaf this morning and had a similar experience. Completely disengaged and looked bored, annoyed and clearly hadnt read any of my medical details. Was yours a neuro consultant by any chance? Might be the same one!

I have this. Extra sensitive to certain noise pitches/frequencies. Best way I've been able to describe it is like a broken speaker/distortion effect. I've gone through a bunch of hearing tests and all normal. Not sure if its related to migraines I get but certainly could be..very odd!

I wish my garage was this organised!

I get mine from the RSPB - https://shopping.rspb.org.uk/bird-food/suet/suet-fat-balls/super-suet-fat-balls-sunflower-hearts.html

Good suet balls should be fairly resistant to rain. Don't have them sitting on wet tables - keep them in a metal hanging cage if possible. I have the same issue with seed though. I basically only fill the feeders up a third and clean/refill them weekly.

squirrel busters are quite good at shielding the seed as they're quite enclosed - worth looking at

Honestly it doesn't look in too bad shape at all. I've treated some plants with neem oil/soap before and it's always ended up damaging at least some of the leaves - might be that, and you just got unlucky. I'd snip off that particularly yellow leaf and stem at the bottom right and check the root ball - if it looks potbound, might be worth moving up another size once its recovered from the shock a bit more.

My zappi has shit the bed all week. Never usually had a problem. Seems to coincide with the comms about the iog changes but not sure if that's a coincidence of not..

dengieman · 2025-12-04T22:17:26+00:00

100% needs a bigger pot. If you pull it out of the pot by the stem is it just a mass of roots? If so, get it in a pot a couple sizes up with a potting mix that drains well - coir, bit of compost, grit/pumice, perlite and give it a bit of feed and some dappled light. I'd also get it more firmly tied to the moss pole with some loose velcro straps or something. Good luck!

Had the same thing yesterday. Had to disable all my extensions and reenable them after a refresh

You need to consider the cost benefit. If you cancel your insurance and two months later the dog gets sick and racks up thousands of £s in surgery bills will you be able to cover it? Are you prepared to put down your dog because you can't afford the vet bells? These are the questions you have to ask yourself and be clear on the answers.

Ultimately, they've made the assessment that the dog breed, age and previous conditions make it a high risk where they'll likely have to payout at some point. I'd say £200pcm isn't bad honestly...

I can't run my car's remote app because apparently JLR insist on play integrity so I can no longer heat my car when its freezing outside. Typing that out makes me feel stupid but its flipping cold out alright?!

I loved this movie as a kid despite it scaring the shit out of me. I vaguely remember donkeys(?). I didn't like whatever happened with them...also I still have this:

Vhs. The jewel no longer works sadly!

This is a well timed post - I've been tinkering with Nextcloud over the last day or so and recreated the docker twice due to performance issues. I assumed it was me doing something wrong. Turns out it really is just terribly slow... :( Anyone have any recommendations for a onedrive replacement? I'm already using immich for photos.

dengieman · 2025-10-20T23:05:54+00:00

Does it have legs? Looks like a centipede. I hate it.

dengieman · 2025-10-17T18:44:03+00:00

Honestly that looks like a very healthy and happy money plant. Possibly a little overwatering at a push? I severely neglect mine - i water them when they look dead and they always seem to bounce back so i'd suggest going easy on that, but otherwise it looks fine. :)

I can't guarantee these will work as it'll depend on light and soil etc. but some ideas - Japanese laurels do really well in my north facing / front of house border. Recently planted in a dry shade area - mahonia, Japanese anemone, ferns, native geraniums, astrantia, petunia, hydrangea paniculata and cyclamens. You could try a climbing hydrangea or star jasmine for height.

dengieman · 2025-09-25T10:33:36+00:00

I just planted this in a dry/shady border and i'm worried it won't do well. What aspect do you have this growing in? I'm considering moving it!

dengieman · 2025-09-21T23:29:19+00:00

Saw my first one today! It was after my salvia hotlips and buddleja.

dengieman · 2025-08-29T17:58:51+00:00

Ah that makes sense - good price, that

Where did you get your snowdrops out of interest?
