Juvenile starlings I believe.

Thank you, makes sense I suppose in with the crowd.
They look lighter shaded than the juveniles we get in the garden, perhaps it is my old eyes and the light effect in your picture playing tricks with me.

Starlings are the most greedy birds we get in our garden, they demolish the suet balls.

I have been trying to upload a picture of this years Sunflowers, lets see if this one works OK.







Looks to have worked as a thumbnail.
If I can work out how to get the full size picture in the post I will use that method in future.

Any recommendations on garden planters? I have a patio that is mainly Indian sandstone and a lawn to one side. I would like to get a large vegetable planter to grow some herbs and vegetables along with another planter for some perennial shrubs and plants to keep some interest in the winter.

There are loads of wooden ones on Etsy that would save me buying all the materials and tools for a one time project.

With it going on the patio I assume it would need to be raised to avoid ruining the sandstone with excess weight and moisture all the time?

Not entirely on the best approach for this hence asking. Any tips welcome. Thank you.

My parents got a pre made (some assembly required) raised bed from https://www.woodblocx.co.uk/raised-beds which includes a liner - stops any liquid escaping but also protects the wood. Theirs is on soil though - if you can't screw into the patio then you may need something else, as those require the first layer of wood to be secure as the rest builds up from there. Theirs is 45cm high x 75cm width x 2 m length and took about 500 litres of soil - just to give you an idea of how much it would take.

I wouldn't be bothered to get tools either for a one off to build it with sleepers or something. Different story if you have access of course.

Mega - how do you store the onions?

You have to dry them bone dry and then braid them on a strong string ( i watched youtube vidoes of how to do it )

Then store them in a very dark cold but dry shed or garage.

Any light, heat or moisture shortens their storage ability.

I can get a full 12 months almost some years but when summer arrives it raises the temp in the shed and they start sprouting new leaves and they go bad not long after that. As long as you dry them out very well, can keep them cold, in the dark and bone dry then they can store for a very long time depending on the variety.
