Potted on 48 wallflowers, only another 40 and that's it, hubby's got to get some more compost. . Picked some blackberries out of the garden.

Give that man a Cigar!!!Well done, my friend

Nice Alana. Jester is good one ..I have a few phormiums here too....Dazzler, Yellow Wave, Tricolour, Cream Delight, Sundowner, Bronze Baby, Alison Blackman......so clearly I like ‘em just a little bit The National Dahlia collection is down here, not far from me, and I usually go there at the...

Thanks. I've already ordered 4 types and will be replacing two of my least favourite roses at the front.

Hi @cindy - yes, they are not 'instant' like some ebayers, but my order came reasonably.

I am not a Fuchsia grower but has anyone any ideas for @cindy in her post here fuschsia gone wrong

Dietes bicolor............. Dietes bicolor by longk48, on Flickr

Very similar colour too the SPs I grow. These are Charlies Angels ( which I could not get this year) and Our Harry. Both very good performers with lovely colour.

Back in the early spring of 2018, while sorting out a rather neglected area in our new garden, I came across a clump of what I suspected were daylilies, buried under various other plants. So I carefully lifted and potted them, grew them on and then planted them out in one of our newly created...

I watched & listened very carefully as he explained what he was doing, thinking that every Spring I can reuse the basket...

3 of the same variety for me Woo. I like groups of one colour, type, etc. Should look good

Ivy grows really well here too shiney, good job I love it @luciusmaximus, the entire border, length wise is damson and elderberries and at the bottom is a sycamore and hawthorn, as well as the biggest conifer I've ever seen in the neighbouring property. So it's really shaded already. I want it...

This is great thanks very much. Often wondered what the weeds in my garden were

Good deep sandy loam around 7 on the PH scale here. Front garden is very draining; back garden has better soil and holds moisture pretty well because of the huge amounts of compost and manure added over the years. Warm, sunny walled garden not far from the coast. Can grow wide range of...
