Herbs and Wildflowers

Have now removed 2/3 of growth leaving the Oregano which I hope will keep on going - it supports tiny, brightly coloured moths during the summer. I also dug out the ants' nest - they are red ants - and deposited it elsewhere in the garden. They may not be harming the raised bed but they are...

Thank you.

When I first glanced at this I thought it said 'how do I propagate 'puppies'. I have some Danish Flag and Black Peony Poppy seeds and look forward to seeing results. In saying that, I have never had success with Poppies after many attempts!

Thanks, everyone I really want them to take off as the flavour of the parent bush is just great, so strong. BJ.

Hi Zigs Thank you for further information, I'm very grateful. If I achieve any level of success, I'll be sure to post a photo next year.

It's a bit late to comment but in case it's still relevant, I hade this same problem and on advice from the supplier of wild flower turf, I stripped all of the top soil away from what had been a well fed veg patch. The resultant 5o sq mt of wild flowers are well worth the effort.

I'm not quite sure where you get the 4ltrs from?I don't think there is a fundamental difference - apart from strength - from the commercially available glysophate and that whereby Roundup rob the general public selling in small quantities? I've been using the commercial kind for many years...

A bit like some people

Hi LuciusI think the first one may be ground ivy/ Glecoma hederacea?

Here are the snowflakes in flower as of friday. 50mm fixed lens.50mm fixed lens with a 21mm extention tube

Yup, that's a violet! If you look behind the flower, there are the typical heart-shaped leaves.

I've got a large patch of dead nettle, which I'm encouraging to spread. I noticed, a few days ago, another plant which I don't recognize growing in the garden. It has pure flowers and leaves look similar to dead nettle. I'll take a pic later. I saw a Bee feeding from it.

primrose. keep forgetting to get them.

Thanks, the big issue is where to put them all. the area in question is size able right now, I am thinking 10 foot by 8 foot flooded with the bulbs. just tons of bulbs under there need to divide. I might give some to neighbors in the green and teach them how to plant them. over the years...

Woo when you go back have a look for nasty thorns. Blackthorn ..Prunus spinosa have them.Your pic looks as if they have a bloom on. A grey layer which gets rubbed off very easily when you touch the fruits. See.OR They could be tiny wild plums...bullace.purple-bullace - Suffolk Flora...

OK @KFF, you're on! However, due to underwhelming demand for tickets for this most desirable of prizes, I'm afraid your ticket will cost £50,000 . You can pay by cheque, cash, or even PayPal!!

I also like Willow HerbAnnual PoppiesNettlesand those plants that come in uninvited via birds, air, rain, etc.

Thanks @Zigs much appreciated my friend.its the Russels that I have to be careful with

Good afternoon @Heucherella many thanks my friend
