Oh that was good...it says £8.99 from waitrose [emoji1] i'll be taking a clump to my new house when we move then

I really like the flowers. Gold finches and other birds love the seed heads in winter.

Many thx

Thanks for your answer, so sorry I have taken so long to get back to you! It certainly looks like you are right.

because I don't need the guesses to be too accurate, and I don't want to wait longer As a matter of fact one of the seeds I put down is Eschscholtzia californica so there is a good chance that that's what it is.

Thank you all! It has been quelled.

One of my favourite annuals I'd grow it as a green manure but know I wouldn't be able to rotovate it in just before it flowered

Many thanks both of you. :-)

Amonst the gardening round I took over from a friend, willowherbs are one of the most prevalent and wide-spreading of the 'easy' weeds to get rid of. They crop up all over the place, even where no willowherbs are in sight.

It would be great if @HolaWeenie would show some new pics or an update on whether it is or isn't the dreaded JapWeed.

@Sian in Belgium I didn't spot any but someone mentioned it on this thread. It could possibly have been the blurred leaves in picture three at the top left - although they may very well be sycamore.When we first had trouble with ground elder it covered, and I mean covered, an area about 20ft...

Thank you Anthony, I tried googling iris but I didn't think the leaves looked quite right, these were planted last oct. I planted some in spring too but they're very small no signs of flower yet. I think I will let these pots off naturally out of the way and cut the iris for indoors Bulbs...

Thank you very much. The name rings a bell.

We need a photo

thank you M much obliged AND Ive even heard of that one before

That may well be a point that sounds it's death knell The location is adjacent the roadside and the major cutback I recently performed was to stop foliage overhanging the road and potentially damaging neighbour's cars as they passed. So I don't want to replace one slow growing shrub with a...

Deliberately planted. It has lovely buttercup type yellow flowers too - a very cheery plant in my opinion

I'd dig the rose out and move it to a less crowded spot. Most shrub roses need an area of about 3ft to spread in, they also need air circulation which helps to prevent disease. These plants need quite a bit of attention compared with most and they are hungry and thirsty shrubs too.Pull all the...
