I bought a couple of kilos from a greengrocer and hoped the seeds would be viable. I think that there is not much hybridization in the world of Damsons so will try again next year. I have bought and planted a Damson tree on my plot and I will try with the seeds from them in a few years when I...
No rush to get anything going this early...maybe sow some Leeks but that's all. Will get my propagator out in 2-3 weeks but there is little point going mad now.
In recent years I have fallen in love with Damsons, Damson Jam and Damson Gin being the two best reasons... I thought I would try to grow some Damsons from seeds that I took out before making jam....sadly had no luck at all. Followed instructions of chilling them before sowing in order to get...
Mushroom identification can be tricky, lots of variables ! There are specialist groups of Mushroom spotters on Facebook who can help but, ideally you need photos of the cap, the size, the habitat and most importantly, the gills( if any ) and the stipe. Just started getting in to Shrooms the...

West Tarring allotments , just north of the railway line of West Worthing Social Club, or, the other side, the corner or Princess Avenue and Canterbury Road on Google maps.
Not seen Slow Worms yet, i have been digging out my compost heap and so it has been left uncovered... if I cover it I would expect Slow Worms as there is a healthy local population.... Interestingly, you notice colour differences in Slow Worms here, the older ones are more silvery while the...
