Nothing about the Royals

Pruning winter jasmine:
1 Prune in spring, immediately after flowering.
2 Flowers are produced on the previous year's growth.
3 Pruning after flowering gives the new growth time to mature
and flower next season.

Here’s the Winter Flowering Jasmine in our garden. We cut it right back in October.

I too have Winter Jasmine which is flowering well. But I would be very interested to know how far back you cut yours, please. Mine is about 6' high /wide. Did you cut yours down low? I give mine a good trim, but perhaps it would benefit from a more severe cut?

Our winter flowering jasmine has suddenly started flowering, sorry, no photo as it would mean walking across an extremely soggy lawn!

However, we were surprised because it looked half-dead not long ago, another casualty of the hot summer we thought.
It wasn't cut back because a blackbird was nesting in there.

Now it's green again and flowering really well.

Why did the chicken go to the seance?
To get to the other side.

The thread ate the photo.

My dogs eating carrots. They pretty much ignore each other most of the time but they like eating carrots in tandem.

We have these to eat, and this is the first of the new season of lemons.
The Twitter thread is worth reading, I had a good laugh.

Ooh, is the lemon tree in your garden, MiniMoon? Lovely!
I love the smell of orange and lemon tree blossom in places like Spain, like these in Seville -

I love coconut. I was given Malibu and bounties for Christmas

I’d happily pass the coconuts and penny ones over for free 🤢

I have two tins of Quality Street hidden in the old hot water tank cupboard. No-one would ever think of looking there.

Type the word ‘meteorite’ into google and wait!

Great! Thanks, nanna8

tanith, I would take the coconut ones off your hands, but unlike Marydoll I have no swaps to offer as we have no chocolates

The last few Quality Street and I don’t like coconut or the penny toffees 😥

I love the penny toffees, I will swap you.

Younger Gdd, just 3, said yesterday, ‘Mummy, I love you in the whole world.’ 😍

And we still have all these to eat up! 😱🐷

Not about fonts or flowers but may make you smile. My 5 year old grandson was given a child's metal detector for Christmas. First thing he said when I collected him from school was, 'Nana, can I metal detect your hips please?' Which he did, but no sound as my two new hips are ceramic. 'Try my left knee,' I said, and yep that beeped loudly.

That was for nanna8.

But the peace lily is great too!

Oh that's great!!

Here's my peace lily, the only house plant I've managed to keep alive in 53 years of marriage. It was bought by my friend over 20 years ago. She sadly died aged 52. I water this plant when I remember and do nothing else to it. It's a happy soul.

If you do twitter and you want a giggle have a look at the link on my 'Bored by the 'Spare' thread.

That’s done really well - I love winter jasmine. So cheery on a drab winter day.
