Isolating beans to try to successfully cross them is very difficult I grew my own variety of chilli but they are easier to isolate. Their progeny also need to be isolated from other chillies as chillies are extremely promiscuous. Mine ('Shiney Hybrids' - or as @CanadianLori calls them...

Royal Bumble is a good one too. Dyson’s don’t stock this or any of the Lips series unfortunately. Other less well known varieties can be borderline hardy and require winter protection so be sure to check the RHS hardiness rating.

I agree with @Plantminded about the possible drainage situation. Also the shape of the lawn looks good but is it practical if you have children? Most of my lawns have curves in them as they look better on the eye but take longer to maintain although that area shouldn't add too much time to it....

Distasteful doesn't equal illegal and therein lies the problem - yes, we can all look at what we believe Randy Andy has been involved in (bearing in mind that we are seeing only a small amount of what actually happened) and we can even join the dots in our own heads - - but, that is not how the...

Hard wood cuttings have stored energy so they can often continue to throw out leaves before they root. I would personally remove the fruits because they are just robbing the energy and won't come to anything. In water you get those little white dots as a precursor to rooting. It's a good sign...

HelloThanks for the Replies.Well, I spent some Time with the Phlox Yesterday whilst it was relatively Nice out, and, it turned out to be less of an issue than I thought.Due to the Soil still being Wet after the Rain overnight, I was able to Pull the Grass pretty easily, I will just need to...

Tomato seed varies in price widely. F1 seed I have costs around £3.99 for 8 seeds where as open pollenated seed can be half that price for about 50 seeds.
