Was just doing some stock taking as the time of sowing is approaching. Including what I collected from the flowers in the garden and gifts, I have about 60 packets of flower seeds and 15 cuttings already growing. Should be able to fill in all the gaps 🤔

Did a few tweaks to the code today, but the new app is basically done and awaiting release. Have started pulling together some online help as well that the app links to (not that anyone will need it as the app is sooo easy to use 😬)

This has just been published. Important and worrying reading. They’ve published it during the current international shitshow presumably hoping it doesn’t get much coverage.
