Identification Area

If it was fruit fly eggs, you should be able to find a mark on the skin of the fruit, the entry point if you like, and the white marks, would extend to the surface. As for the mold, I wolud think you are probably right on the mold, but you could experiment with it.

I have looked at both of these and I think it is medicago lupulina!! The flowers on mine are not such a bright yellow but everything else seems to fit.

Otherwise known as Centranthus ruber.Valerian officinalis is a completely different plant.

Thought I`d stick these on for comparison purposes

I'd like to join the Silver Surfer fan club! You are brilliant at knowing what's what and I'll know doubt be enquiring in the future.

Awesome thanks everybody Yes i had borage a year or two ago I recall. It could well be that because the leaves are kinda furry which i recall borage was.

I mentioned what Verdun said about the glyphosate and he's on about putting acid on it what he uses to clean the slabs...it's stopped moss from the neighbours getting to thick and heavy by our drive...I agree with you it's a total nightmare

I don't think it's the same, as yours has red stems ours in the picture don't have

Yep, that was quite complicated one. Let´s see what I´ll find next.

Your right with your comment as there's a park where I was born done in different section and there's a flower garden in there...where people took wedding photo's / peace and reading and they had two very large ones and they was astounding as the park was done in 1920 as you'll see from these...

Thanks noisette, that confirms what I have I think. Yes it will be great seeing what pops up.I managed to prune all the soft fruit this afternoon, the blackberries have ferocious thorns.Next job will be getting a fruit cage and tying in the new canes.

Careful there, Jenny ... by my reckoning, it will coincide with your next visit ... and we all know how you like to get your nose stuck in to inhale deeply. Just saying!

Ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia) is the one the French were alerted about. It's wind pollinated, and as Silver Surfer says, the pollen causes some people an extreme allergic reaction. I nicked a copy of the poster about ragweed, which I've still got somewhere. I was in the Drome departement in...

Many thanks Tetters, yes I had missed Wise Owles post, but I think we were both much on the same line of thought.

Thank you for all the advice. The tree appeared to be growing well aftwr planting and has been well watered with our changeable 'summer'. I had expected the leaves to change to a golden autumn colour before falling off, but they were/are quite brown and shrivelled. Some leaves at the top are...

Thanks! The hedge faces directly south so gets full sun throughout the day.

I think a Calla Lily called "Moonlight" was one of the RHS Plants of the Year 2014 @chelseaEdit: Link to the RHS list:

Well Graham at last you know. Now to get rid of it. Although tedious, I'd try and remove the berries, perhaps even laying out some kind of sheeting beneath the plant. Then I'd cut the plant close to the ground. Gather up the plant and burn. Now dig out the root. Heep an eye on the soil and...

It's just the odd shoot now (from the bits of root that got missed) and unfortunately there is too mush close to/around them that I want to keep alive.
