In my area in north london, we get terrible problems with fox's at night after 1am. Basically they come to our garden to make love and wake everyone up in the process, noises in the bushes, screaming, fighting you name it all happens here. And to top it all, one of out neighbours feeds them cause she adores these foxes, much to her husbands and ours annoyance. Then none of the houses in my block have any dogs, but further down there are houses with dogs who scare the foxes into out block where they feel safe. Saying that we been lucky for the last few weeks and i remember about 2 months ago these foxes were mental in our gardens. Also at night they roams the roads very freely, never see that during the day

Would our friend "the Rambler" on the food thread have tips for trapping or removal of foxes? I won't ask about recipes  

I remember you telling me about that. I occasionally hear them in the field but not in our garden but then we have dogs who would chase. By the way, there was nothing wrong with Shammy and Smudge today. Hubby moved them into our field next to the house and they were bucking and charging around. Silly buggars! I think he's just a hypochondriac.

You should have seen them today. They were both scratching itches on each others, er, bottoms? Happy as Larry!

Garden is starting to look a little bare with all this wind lately! Any photos from other gardeners or are you all indoor freaks like some mods I know!

Looks like some plants are admitting it may be a tad cold now! I'll be putting things in the greenhouse soon! Any photos?

Well! I had a lovely sunny day yesterday and today is looking a bit murky again. With all the talk about Spring, I thought I would start talking about what everyone is going to grow this year. I've bought loads of potting compost and sharp sand etc... I've lost a few lavenders, geraniums(pelargoniums). The sharp drop in temperature this year caught me out. I'm hoping to repot a few of my roses with my horses manure. I own 50+ roses. I used to know all their names but over time I've forgotten them and lost my notes about them, sigh! I've started using some of the gardening apps I bought last year.
Any suggestions for new ones. I need one that covers flowers, herbs and vegetables. The apps are mainly just flowers or veg/herbs but not all together.

Had to tidy up the gardens after being away .
Lots of leaves and dead foliage etc.
Had rain yesterday so it's all fresh now.

Why hello Julie. Lovely avatar you have there. Which flower is it? Too small to tell on my app.
I've been sorting out pots and which flowers need to be got rid of. One thing that surprised me this year is that my two old Cordylines have new shoots appearing from the bottom. They died in last years snow. I left them due to various personal problems and concentrated on my patio on the side of the house. Great to see I don't have to replace but I will cut the old stem when it's warmer. It's going to get colder this week so I will leave it for now.
