Hi, I have a 2 year old Mirabelle de Nancy plum tree in my garden, it is beginning to bear fruit, but also has the leaf curl pictured, is this a disease or a parasite, and how can I rectify it? Also affecting a much older pear tree. Thanks 🌳🌱

My peas are coming on ok, do I need to pot them on, getting a little leggy, and I'm thinking it's a bit early to plant them out? 🥦🌽🥕

Advice please growers. For the last 4 years my onions have failed to grow any bigger that these pictured (these are actually 2 of the biggest) Any ides why, they get to a certain size, and just stop growing? They're lovely little onions, but little is the operative word 🌱🌿🌽🥕

The Bluetits fledged from their nest in my garden this morning, all went well apart from this little guy, who needed a helping hand. Reunited with his mum in the silver birch #wildlifephotography #wildlife #birding #nature @Natures_Voice @ChrisGPackham #birdlovers

When you're watching Esther McVey on #BBCQT tonight it's worth remembering it took a Freedom of Information request to reveal her department has spent £108 million trying to deny disabled people help that they're entitled to get, in just 2 years. That's over £1 million a week.

ADVICE NEEDED I have bluetits nesting in my garden as I do every year, new neighbours have a cat that is constantly attacking the nest. Neighbours care not and keep telling me to keep my lurcher away from their cat. How can I deter it legally?
