The Allotment has nearly had a clean shave

Foxes regularly dig holes in our planters but something has gone berserk and destroyed our patio rose overnight.

Is there such a thing as an urban badger?

It was a lovely thing that flowered brilliantly every year. I’m not very happy, and it’s going to be a lot of work sorting out the soil that has gone everywhere.

There was a lot more to the plant than is visible in the photo. I have no idea where the rest of it has gone.

Oh yes


My ones only come out at night, but I’ve seen them running around suburbs in the evening

Nice, very nice.

Very smart! :+1: An outdoor kitchen/BBQ space is on my to do list at some point!

I’m going to use some of the left over patio tiles and cast the worktop for them and put it on some heavy duty castors so it can be tidied away and also taken to France when we sell up in the next three years

Grows like Topsy and self seeds everywhere.
More of a bloody weed in my garden

Yes, I read that some varieties are classified as invasive. This one has been in-situ for 20+ years, is still only ~2M x 1.5M and single site, so looks like we may have swerved a bullet :slightly_smiling_face:

Looks like this year’s one thing that actually works in the garden is raspberries.
