I used to think of it as start of March to start of August, but now it seems to often be treated as mid-February to mid-September. #GardenersWorld10 Apr 2026 19:48 +0000at://did:plc:52vxajrdkphpdsile55ctqls/app.bsky.feed.post/3mj63pzfsk22yhttps://bsky.app/profile/greenjimll.bsky.social/post/3mj62tfeyrk2yI like Frances's little rows for seed viability tests.

Yes, and for decades now in the UK those inks are mostly vegetable derived.

I walked down by the river after work, which was the same idea lots of other folks had. People sitting watching the world go by, chatting, playing.
