Dai where have you been?As I remember "Grenadier" get very large and sweet around this time of the year.Edible raw about now.

Looks like Chives to meMaybe even a dandelion thats been coloured in Photoshop or something :P

I have a large number of bluebells in the garden which I am trying to move - these could well be small bluebell bulbs, they certainly look like them to me. Catherine's suggestion to pot them up seems the best way to deal with them. Bluebell seeds get everywhere and eventually grow into bulbs.

Blimey, result there then LRS. Careful what you mix with such a strong acid, i'm no chemist but mix the wrong thing with it & you could gas yourself

:thumb: Yes - definitely a hebe, and an attractive one without the flowers even! - this variety does well in a big pot too for a few years if started off in one whilst young and given plenty of light.

I will just have to wait then it seems.Being a greedy sort I have of course been going nuts with cuttings lol.

I dare-say I will probably never find out as my mum no longer lives on the Isle of Wight anymore:o although

Thanks, all questions solved. :-)

Should I point out that Sauromatum, like other Aroids, grows from a tuber rather than a corm? :D

Another tip to help. If the root ball is sodden, tip the plant out of the pot and stand the root ball on a thick wad of newspaper.Keep changing its place until the excess water has soaked outand then repot your plant.

Shobana , as long as the holiday destination is hot and has cold beer it is on the list !:yho:

Good to see you're still with us Vicks 0):D:luv:

A really nice one Thats what it is

Sunny but damp soil is it's ideal location.

No, not really As they emerge, just pull them up and you should get the bulb as well. You won't get all of them immediately and they do self seed, but it's that not that difficult to keep control of them in the average size garden. Of course, if you like them, you could just leave them

Be very careful of the sap when touching any Euphorbia it is poisonous. Wear gloves to be on the safe side.

Hi Ziggy,OK my friend thanks for that:thmb:

There would seem to be 2 possibilities. 1. Hedera algeriensis Gloire de Marengo. ( Previously known as Hedera canariensis variegata) Common name Algerian ivy. 2. Hedera colchica Dentata Variegata. Common name Persian ivy. I understand that Hedera algeriensis Gloire de Marengo has shiny...

:rotfl: No, shes just taken the hard drive out:dh:

Thanks for your help guys!I was posting from my phone, as I was at my sister in laws for the weekend. I recommended she twist one off that looks very ripe, and cut a bit off to taste it. If it tastes good - go for it! If it doesn't cook it!
