Join Me On The Plot Today, Managing An Aggressive Cockerel & Plant Profile: Statice

Описание: Hello, it's Friday 20 February 2026.


In tonight's episode you join me on the plot where it's windy and rainy (at one point we even had sleet) and the hens make a guest appearance when one of them scared themselves and then frightened all of the others. I'm talking about what's happening on the plot right now including all the new growth I'm seeing, the plants which are still fast asleep, or in the wrong place, or have just been put in the right place but not actually planted (sorry, phlox).


In the second part of the episode I'm continuing my Plant Profile series with Statice, a very pretty annual which I grew really well in 2024 but not so well last year. It's very easy to grow but I'm not planning on doing it this year although after this episode I realised I actually want to grow it again. 


I hope you enjoy today's episode: please come back and join me for the next one - you're always very welcome.
