Felt tired after some hours working at my desk. Went out to the garden for just half an hour. Poked a stick in the ground, sowed the broad beans for the new season, scratched some soil and pulled some nasty nettles with bare hands. Feeling alive again 🌱😊 - ThreadSky

I can't wait!

I was told my container mandevillas would not do well indoors over winter.

HA! They not only survived, we got 2 flowers last month & now they're trying to crawl across the ceiling

I know there isn't always room for them in a garden... but nettles are home to some butterflies, and young leaves make excellent wine!

Oh we have plenty of nettles. Most can stay for insects to feed on, some we use for liquid fertilizer, and we eat some of the young leaves.
Just trying to control them inside the veggie beds 😀
