I miss /r/ukgardening, does anyone have anything similar?

All the gardening replacements are US centric which isn't really relevant for advice in UK, nice pictures though.

Not as specific, but would [email protected] do? Or is that one of the subs you've looked at?

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using an URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]

Whats stopping you making the community yourself?

This is something my wife always complains about, so much so that I've gotten a kagi account and set up a specific search category for gardening that bans certain sites and excludes hits where words contain American spelling. One thing that might be interesting is a list of translated gardening resources from other nearby countries. I'm sure the flora and fauna in the rest of North-West Europe can't be that different?

Here's an example: I translated the phrase "my hawthorn will not bloom" into French and searched for the resulting phrase. Found a website and translated it back to English: https://www-jardiner--malin-fr.translate.goog/fiche/aubepine.html/amp?_x_tr_sl=fr&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp
