Oh no! I'd best not ask about the roses then.

Time to go rummaging in the garage, to see if dad put the label in a box there....

I find horsetails fasctinating. Like you said, they're one of the oldest weeds on the planet. Can't find my weed bible but from memory, they have remained largely unchanged for something like 400 million years. They have such an effective and persistent root system that they don't need to...

We used to make a very nice soup with it.

There both in pots because i found them in the garden and don't like composting things i don't know, the first one is not fat hen

Thanks for the quick reply! I didn't think Ash would have those red thorns/prickles all up the main stem?

If its a peony I'm guessing its the brown bread type.

Looks to me like it dried out and is giving turning up it's toes a serious thought... I had one die in similar circumstances

Thanks No to decide what to do with it lol

Looks like a Veronica sp. to me.....note the 2 stamens typical of Veronica.Maybe a dwarf one such as Veronica Christy.

Thanks @Anthony Rogers you're a star!

Ah, that would go some way to explaining their sudden, free appearance. These are in my lovely mum's garden, so I will let her know. Fair old size - that hedge behind is 4ft if its an inch.

Yes, most definitely but it does allow to irrigate a lot. Last check we've done nearly 700 cubic metres of leachate over two hectares in two months, all for free really. The future of waste management you could say.

Many thanks it certainly looks like it, just wondering if my leaves have nutrient burn a few plants around the border are affected.

Excellent, I'll get them planted ASAP.

Not being funny, but I assume you have taken cuttings from them before?

Scentless mayweed (Tripleurospermum inodorum)? The form of these 'weeds' is variable depending on the conditions.

Thank you kindly. If anyone knows the type of geranium that would be great.
