Yes, it's quite nice if you add it afterwards, cut very finely. Am already getting addicted. Pity it's still so small!

They are seriously yucky. Hope I never find one, and commiserations to you, hope you get them sorted out.

The one you usually see is the red spider mite which likes warm dry conditions. I got a feeling that the ones you saw were "mites" of a different species. Don't use dyna-mite as it's messy!!

It's much larger then Charlock, it's now one foot tall with a width of about 1.2ft - 1.5ft

Looks like wild garlic to me. Does it stink?

Hello and welcome Elli Jelli

wow thank you Marley , that is a great site ....I was just looking for some fresh potting idea

There! I knew some of these wonderful people would be along to put you right soon. I'd keep it but then, I can't bring myself to get rid of healthy plants. Big softy, me!

Thank you! Are the easy to take cuttings from and grow easily?

Yes Aquilegia vulgaris. Somtimes also called Columbine or even Granny Bonnets. Personally, I think they look like doves all eating from the same pile of food! haha. Certainly isn't the native version of Aquilegia vulgaris, which is only found occasionally in the wild. It is notorious for...

funny you guys should say that but i did actually soak the cuttings for an hour or two before planting them (that doesn't sound right...'planting' cuttings ) anyhoo they looked quite perky & they still do so fingers crossed at least one takes

I'd agree with that Scrungee, Sedum; much loved by butterflies and Viburnum tinus

2. Easy way to check.. Compare close up pics of Androsace lanuginosa......Rock Jasmine Several tiny flowers on the top of a stalk. Whilst Arenaria montana have one single flower on each stalk.

Yeah, but such a nice weed!!

Most weeds dissappear in a new lawn once you mow regularily as Lawnman said. Next spring you can use a "weed and feed" fertiliser to clear any stubborn ones. I doubt its bind weed, but if it is the mowing will probably sort it out. Yeah, it looks like mint to me also.

Thank you Micky I will pick a bottle of that up when I am next in the Supermarket!

MUM!! I can't believe you said that !! I don't think your boys or Mr Mum would believe it either, Jenny

I have no idea what is happening here.. Seems some of us having problems & some not but here are the pics.... #1#2
