    @dave I have a friend in Australia who had the same problem. Fortunately here in the UK it seems a lot easier to get rid of it as I did a couple of years ago.

    My hellebore planted last winter in full flower got hit a couple of months ago by a branch washed off in a heavy shower. Broke all the remaining few leaf stems so to all intents and purposes it has "disappeared".

    I know where it was as I put a twig in the ground.

    Should I just buy another one or might it be "dormant" and just waiting to burst back to life this winter?

    @Frieke72 @RobertJackson58585858 It’s also pretty likely that you will get lots of seedlings from the original plant if it had time to create them.

    @SilverRainbow @photography Thanks for that. I’ve never heard of a sun dog before.

    @MonaApp is there a reason why filters/mutes set in are only local to Mona rather than set on the server?

    They released on the Apple app store yesterday and I thought I'd give it a try but for some reason all the buttons except reply are greyed out (so you can't boost, favorite, bookmark, etc.) and when I tried to send a message to the developers asking about it I was limited to maybe 100 or 200 characters, didn't count them but it was a very small amount. Maybe those are things you only get if you buy the pro version? But if so, that's not the way to induce people to buy the pro version, those things are basic to Mastodon functionality. Anyway I went back to using the web version and the only reason I haven't deleted Mona altogether is that it will let me quickly read through the timeline without showing me toots I have already seen, which is my #1 complaint about web-based Mastodon. But honestly I never paid for a Twitter app, and I am not about to pay for a Mastodon one either. So if you feel the same about not paying for a Mastodon app, you probably should avoid Mona (unless they fix this issue) because the free version is far too limited.

    @Lunatech It is of course your choice to pay or not. There are a number of free apps including , a yearly one and which is a one payment. ‘You pays your money and take your choice’ as the saying goes 😊

    Not seen this before. Newly planted tree at the side of the pavement with a notice asking local residents to water it in dry conditions

    It’s great to see all the posts but it would be even better if you can include your location in your so I know why your plants are blooming when mine are freezing or vice versa.
