    Bare Root Roses

    I planted my bare root roses a fortnight ago and are already showing new growth. Should I be worried as the frosts are rolling in? I always assumed the roses were dormant when lifted for sale.

    Flip Flop Farage

    Reform UK made a sensible move yesterday by declaring early the change to their economics policy. The headlines tomorrow will be today's speech by Reeves with her precursor to Labour's crashing of their manifesto pledge to not tax the working man. Farage can just sit back and lick his lips and...

    It may work out more cost effective for the taxpayer for Mobility to be limited to a single car manufacturer, preferably UK built. For example the Nissan Qashqai.

    During ground clearance of a back garden, I have discovered a bees nest in an old compost heap. Look like bumble rather than honey bees. How best to remove? Don't want to kill them off. Cheers Doug
