Container Gardening

I think Thyme would be ideal that you have mentioned already , and you can get different colours .Rosemary will add some height as well and will also put up with a exposed siteAs they people brush there hands over the top wont harm them and will enjoy the position if given a gritty well...

So Scrungee, it gets a sort of recharge of organic matter.

Excellent suggestion WOO. Thanks.

Sounds complicated :/ the only other place I could put it in the ground is about two foot away from my oil tank.... It's above ground but are the roots likely to grow up and disturb the concrete it sits on? Or do they just grow down I'm confused!

Shouldn't be too difficult to screw the bits in place and then attach to the bottom. I guess it depends on how thick the wood is as to how sturdy it is.

i have seen them done with alpines and they worked well

So here is the link for the website All they say is Hellebore orientalis in 6 colors and hv pics too. 5-6 petal flowers and They sure do look pretty.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Obscure catches my eye!

You have to be patient with ebay and regular run a search for pots with, say, 15 miles of you. After all, you've got about 4 months before anything starts growing again to find them.

I think you need a small-mesh wire, otherwise the mice will get through it, and thus the mesh will probably be too small for the bulbs to grow up through.Having said that Mice (or whatever) were digging up, and eating, my Tulips well into the spring this year, and long after they were well...

I usually plant my Daffs and Tulips back half of November . I'll be planting wallflowers again this year , when do they become available in the nurseries ?

I wrote a reply to you both but I don't know where it went ! Anyway, for your help. I can't believe how badly I've been treating my poor tree. The info you gave me was amazing and explained a lot as to why the "branches" are so brittle. I am a tad embarrassed to show you a photo of it. Up until...

Thanks very much :-)

They look brilliant. I'm not surprised people want you to do theirs!

Agree, almost everything can be successfully grown in containers and watering is the catch. Cancel the 2 weeks in Spain The bigger the container is, the easier life gets. I have/am successfully grown raspberries, blackcurrant, strawberries, sweet peppers, tomatoes of all sizes, carrots,...

lovely, go for it!

whis4ey what a beautiful garden you have!! Val

One of the best way to check if a plant needs watering is by picking it up and checking the weight....water the plant...let it drain off for an hour ...go back and pick it up.....check the weight... Go back a few days later ...check the weight.... If its light ... Water it.... If its same weight...

Hi Trogre it certainly looks like the Bacopa that I have in my planters.
