Wow thanks so much people! I’ve just looked them up, really interesting

Thank you The last time I bought from Ornamental Trees the courier was unreliable but the tree was fine, despite not being watered before despatch. The trees in my local garden centres always look as if they’ve been there for a while and look both pot bound and wind blown. I’d prefer to buy one...

We do it on kitchen paper, especially for chillies and tomatoes. We spread them out about 2" apart on kitchen paper and put them in a seed sprouter. Just keep the paper slightly moist and the sprouter has a drainage hole on each level in case you have over watered them. The sprouter is made...

Thank you @Selleri, I never seem to get any ads so I don't know why they contacted me, but never mind, it doesn't seem important now.

Thanks Shiney, you will be well aware just how much effort is involved with running plant sales. Yours looked amazing especially with doing teas and entertainment. I draw the line at supplying vitals altho wine has been opened when I have had some of my loyal regulars come to buy! This is the...

I have taken photos of leaves from the plant in question and of another with the same shape leaves. The 'floury' one is a Cotyledon orbiculata (variety unknown) so will assume the other is also a Cotyledon orbiculata (also variety unknown!). When looking at photos of Cotyledon orbiculata there...

The first one, will flower early in the year. They are spring flowering for me. You would generally prune if needed after they have flowered.The second looks like one of the later flowering types that form flowers on the previous years growth. Again pruning after flowering is best unless it's...

@Tidemark, when I last did mine, I didn't need an appt, but had to go in within certain hrs as only one member of staff was trained to do it, and she worked part time.Honestly, it should be simpler. It is such a basic thing and there are millions of over 70s required to do regular updates.

i use bait boxes with a rod going through them and use the blue poison blocks fed onto the rod. They come through the box, nibble on the blocks and then run off back to their nests to die. Its safe so my dogs cant get at the poison and i dont have dead vermin around the garden.

If you are thinking of buying Daphne bholua 'Jacqueline Postill' then I can show you some photos of that, and advise on how it grows. If I was to buy only one Daphne, then this would be my choice but some things you might like to know. It looks better on neutral to acid conditions. Mine are...

Thanks, I clocked that one and will be keeping an eye on it.

I knew someone who bought a job lot of smoke detectors and put them under the stairs in a carrier bag and forgot about them. You know the rest of the story.....

Rarely is there anything without bias nowadays. The only variation seems to be whether your bias is deemed virtuous or not, regardless of whether you right or wrong

I would do it before the phlox starts into growth - the new growth can be soft and easily damaged (although it will regrow).
