Hello, another query from me.I have lovely Alium 'lavender bubbles'. Planted last year, 6 pots. They're in a sunny location at the front of the house. Gravel much. Everything was watered through that first summer and the intention was to leave this as a drought tolerant garden. It's rained a...

HelloI planted three Euphorbia martinii last year. They've flowered this year. Two of them have new shoots coming through. One of them doesn't and hasn't grown anything like the other two. I would usually cut back the flowering stems when they're spent leaving the new growth.I'm not sure...

Long day at work so only just getting a chance to look at replies, thanks to all of you that took the time to!I found an image of the liner in place so you can better see what’s happening under the water. Taking into consideration all your ideas, here’s what I’m currently thinking:I’m...

They would much prefer for you to buy a new one each year, you are cheating the system.

I love "Graham Thomas" @Obelix-Vendée , I first had one years ago not long after it was first introduced and it flowered so beautifully and was very healthy. After many years,if memory serves me right, it just gave up the ghost.My husband bought me another one for my 60th birthday and it is...

They look suspiciously like Ceanothus. Notoriously temperamental! Scrape the bark mulch away from the trunks, give them a balanced feed and snip out all the brown twigs. They might come back, they might not.

This chap explains it quite well. There’s plenty of his videos available that show all aspects, including how to get started.

That's ok if you want to see all the new posts but I only want to see what I'm really interested in, so I find alerts are better

Thanks for replies all.im based in west England. No dog/kids/pets and not a new build.my mower is only a year old so hopefully it isn't the blades!!the grass does get very thick in the middle of the lawn where those patches are and it's a chore to cut when the grass gets long, so perhaps...

Not that I've noticed, but I'm awful vigilant @ViewAhead

Im wondering if i should sell it as i do not have the ability to plant it in the ground and i assume that there will never be a pot big enough for it if it isnt a dwarf type tree

I think I would just get a new one, there might be some viable bits there but I wouldn't bother to be honest.

@JennyJB You got dry weather in February??!! We didn't have more than maybe 48 hours without rain from about October until about a month ago. It was certainly too wet to cut the grass, although the mild and wet weather ensured it continued to grow.
