You can find the guide ID when you see the guide in the list and so the URL shoud look like this lgapi-eu.libapps.com/widget_c.php...

That's good. I think mine bolted too early and so not very robust plants and only got one cob per plant :-(

I've been watching Adam Curtis's new documentary on iplayer called 'shifty' pretty much sums up the whole scam we are held under by the elites and governments! Need to make a stand!

I do enjoy the Glastonbury highlights, but when it messes with the Gardener's World schedule, well that's unacceptable!

Never mind the Chelsea Flower Show! Check out my roses this year! Never seen so many at once!

I also agree about the competition element, definitely ditch the medals. It's why I don't like those programs like Pottery throw down. Takes all the joy out of it.

Agree with all of that, really love the idea of a show moving all around the country too. It needs to catch up with modern times.

Love this Nigella wild flower that has just appeared unexpectedly. Looks great against the orange Geum. Love how these things happen unplanned.

Not necessarily wild on purpose πŸ˜‚

Just read your newsletter @jackwallington.com Having seen this Sparrowhawk recently in our garden it's good to know our garden can be regarded as truly wild 😊

When buying dormant trees online. On arrival check they're alive, doing a small scratch test to see if green. Didn't do this, it's not until now I realise the tree is dead. It's outside 30 days to get refund, can only get replacement or credit, which I don't want since they sent me a dead tree!

Yes, I definitely think it's worth looking into.

As in, stats for our Chelsea and Westminster campus library.

This looks really interesting and useful thank you! I once did a very small survey with medical students, but I don't think I've seen anyone do this with Healthcare staff. Interestingly, our loan stats for print books is much higher with the NHS staff than med students.

Photograph of a suspected Sparrowhawk bird of prey, perching on top of a swing in my garden. It has brown wings and the front is cream coloured with light brown streaks. It also had dark markings around its eyes.

Made my morning seeing what I think is a Sparrowhawk in my garden! It stayed for quite a while. 😍

It was quite depressing when I was digging some compost from my big bag I had delivered, there were fragments of plastic in it.

Also make sure you have enough potassium.

Reminded me of lovely times spent visiting my grandparents in Wales. Used to see this everywhere, particularly in the hedges 😊

I could quite easily write a whole essay on this πŸ˜†One would definitely be, not to plant the elder tree where I did! I would probably change a lot, but it's a huge space so had to make gradual changes, which isn't been all bad as it gives us time to properly consider things before we do them.

I know when I'm work I need to focus and keep myself together, especially in meetings. That's proved hard to today having finally received an Educational support plan for my daughter, after 18 stressful months of no proper education for her, and fighting and facing many barriers πŸ₯² Phew!
