An example of nice bird poo, one that gives free plants

There's a very good book which identifies the seedlings too... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Colour-Atlas-Weed-Seedlings/dp/1840760389/ref=sr_11_1/203-3034469-2720705?ie=UTF8&qid=1174920840&sr=11-1I'm sure I've seen sites with this sort of info to, but this book has been useful for me.

I'm sure you're all correct on the C-G-Vine. I have been through the old packets several times and that's the only thing I can come up with. :D So that's a big thank you to our Webmaster for the seeds he sent me Cheers Nathan

bang on! we have loads of it here (i hate the stuff with a passion!)

wow - thank you for the useful pics.I think mine are the fertiliser pellets after all. oops They are definately yellow and hardish on the outside. The pot was from a shop bought aubergine last year. I'm so glad I didn't spend ages picking them all out now.I do have millions of slugs &...

I'm afraid I haven't a clue about the flowers but just wanted to say that the web page is brilliant! As a teacher I'd like to be able to do something like that for the children to answer questions on.

Well there you go, - I'm still confused. :D :D

This obviously got lost somewhere as I've only just found it again looking for something else.Thank you DaveP ... you are probably right! Thank you for that. Sometimes it takes a while but we get there in the end ... like Kedi-Gato's mystery tree!We have the Starry Asphodels here which are...

On the basis of probability as well as the timing, general appearance of the buds and habit of the tree, it's a fair bet it is Prunus 'Kanzan'. It is definitely one of the 'flowering cherries' and 'Kanzan' continues to head the popularity list. If it is Kanzan, expect masses of large (5-6cms....

Judging by the generally compact growth, I would suggest it is the cultivar 'Banamarama', which has been doing the rounds in garden centres and home stores over the past few years. It is a significantly dwarfer version of the 'Cavendish' form of Musa acuminata and seems quite variable in the...

Nice photo Shiney,first time I have seen them.I like the iris amongst them as well

Oh they were sooooooooooo nice and tasty here is recipe linkhttp://www.rampantscotland.com/recipes/blrecipe_wholemeal.htm

Hi r2oo,It is a very young tree and hasn't put out a proper branch network yet. As a rule, they thrive on pruning putting on 10 feet of more in one season if coppiced. That one looks like it has been left to its own devices, and the growing does happen mainly at the top end. You can just about...

Maybe you don't have many pollinators around in January :D I haven't the fainest idea what pollinates mine - perhaps its a self polinator??

Waco - any news on your flowering Aspidistra?

Oh yes, thats the one.....Acer platanoides "Drummondii".....you are so clever, and I'm so excited now that I know what it is that I have to ask for when I go shopping.I love the way the light shines and illuminates the diffent colours on the leaves.Interesting, the bit about watching for...

Johnny, the hermaphrodisic ( self pollinating )Skimmia is called Reevesiana. And PeterS you are right about the Lobelia caddinalis. David.

Must have been the gentle hints, Elaine! Paths are a Very Good Thing - less muddy, less slippery - blimey, enthusing over a path, how sad can you get? :rolleyes: :D

The one I sent is what you have, the Wonga, Wonga Vine ... goodness, what a name!I also have the P ricasoliana which goes absolutely beserk here and as far as I know is the hardier of the two ???? Maybe yours should not be in the greenhouse?For WW vine blooms in the summer here and the Pink...

It was a very, very long time ago, r2oo, probably 26-27 years, and to be honest I can't remember! All I remember is we stayed on a remote daffodil farm in the hills and they had a pet lamb called Lamb Chop! :D
