    Gardening Gloves Recommendation

    whatever you get, if its fabric or leather or similar, washing and storing it properly matters to its longevity! especially for thick plastic fabrics.

    What to do with Droopy Cactus

    Most cacti fit that description so could you upload a photo please, also showing the part that droops. Many cacti also have a naturally pendulous habit so a photo is what we need.

    Recommend a climbing Rose please!

    I have Blush Noisette. Not the tallest climber, by any means, but if you are looking for willingness to please it’s a winner. Flowers from May to December. Rot proof. not too thorny. :)
