Container Gardening

A good list from Kristen. I would echo the Runner Beans suggestion. The also provide a bright red flower before developing the Bean. Streawberries and Tomatoes (tumbling Toms) can be grown from hanging baskets in the shelter of a yard. Subject to the Sun position the Toms. may need to be...

They'll get on okay in a pot if the pot's a decent size, it'll need to be at least 2' wide and 2' deep because clematis have deep roots. It'll also need an obelisk or an open wire trellis because the clematis will want to climb and it does this by twining very fine tendrils around...

Search for "Halophytes" or salt tolerant plants.

Given the dimensions I'd suggest you grow something that grows down rather than up. Carrots, parsnips, leeks. If it's wood or plastic you could bore holes and plant strawberries or even tomatoes.

yeah I read they are pretty slow growing. I'd have to buy a more mature plant if I chose to use one.There's no chance of the shrub getting wet being beside the pond, the waterfall is facing away from the area the shrub will be placed.Another note, it'll be in full sun too.

I have one from last year, and yes they are smelly. The best description of the smell is of brewing hops. Also i have a small kitchen and take up unnecessary space. I may actually get rid of it tbh because of the combo of space and smell.

Heres a recycled container in my garden.It used to be a tumble dryer drum.Now home to a Magnolia and various bulbs.

She will survive well sheltered on doorstep Got small terracota kettles as well

OK DavidI thought it would be OK as they seem to thrive on the roadside in this area , year after year. Anyway, north facing fence it is!Just had a wander around out there and it seems like this rain we have had, has done a world of good

Thanks, i read Lidl were selling seeds for only 29p a pack so nipped in on the way home from work. And they were too. Just got a pack of basil that i've grown before from seed, dead easy. And some carrot seeds. So lets see how that goes.It reminded me about the basil seeds how they change...

If your going to increase the size of the pot, I'd do it now to give the roots time to establish - and I would look to put it in the pot that it will remain in.I don't know this particular rose, but if it will only grow to 3 foot, then its quite small - so you won't need a huge pot - but it...

Fill the barrel half way with compost, one of the large half barrels will do. put about 5 pot's in evenly spaced, cover with compost, water. when the top growth is about 2" high, cover with more compost, repeat till the barrel is filled to within a couple of inches from the top of the half...

Hi, I agree with ladybird- most of the common conainer plants are easier to grow from seed than to overwinter, if you have room you can start them early on your windowsills. I had a little plastic greenhouse and found that my main problem was mildew etc. because it's hard to keep the plants...

For my early, early potatoes in the past I have used an old dustbin with drainage holes; put about a foot of compost on top of a couple of inches of crocks in the bottom, space out four seed potatoes ( I always used "Charlotte"), cover with another 9 inches or so of compost and then as the...

I think I would divide them now as they have been in that pot for a while. Be careful though as lilies start early into growth abd the young shoots are fragile. I divided some Lilium henryii early Feb and shoots were just below the surface and I broke a couple. You should be able to tease the...

I haven´t grown these plants before but if they have survived the temps you say then I would say leave things well alone till the spring when you could probably cut them back.

Its probably winding down now for winter, if the leaves are still looking green or have autumn colour starting then I wouldn't worry.I would consider replanting in John Innes compost if you only have it in multipurpose at the moment.

No reason why not. If it were me, I’d produce some holes in the bottom and add a couple of inches of broken up polystyrene to aid drainage before adding any compost.

To be honest. I can't say I have ever seen what might appear as a healthy plum tree. Possibly due to the texture of the leaves. Any ways. The foliage on your tree certainly is ailing. If possible, get rid of the most heavily affected leaves and burn them. Then as soon as the remaining...

Its probably chlorosis, lack of iron. It needs acidic soil which would allow it to take up iron more easily.You could repot but I would water with sequestrene or chelated iron. Once a season is usually enough.5 x 15g Sachets Sequestered Iron Plant Tonic Feed Food With Magnesium | eBay
