NEW Gardeners !

To check whether @pete is right, dig up the lavender and look at the rootball. If you stick your finger in it, and it's dry, you'll know that he's right. When you plant something out, not only should you soak the rootball, but it is worth trying to spread the roots out a bit so they don't just...

Thanks

Thanks

Thanks. We will keep it outside for some time.

Thanks for having a look mostly doing this due to having a few seedings on the way and not enough compost or pots to cater for them and a bit of a project while I'm not busy. Thought the soil under the stones would help stretch out my compost but is pretty tough stuff, and I only have a trowel...

I’m sorry. I missed your reply. I think you are right. It is starting to leaf up now and as my neighbour has a spiraea I can see it looks nothing like it! I’ll put the saw back in the shed! Thank you very much.

If it goes away on it's own, then no. But if it continues and gets worse it probably will have an adverse effect on the crop.

Potatoes will go in off to the bottom left of the picture, gets the most light. Plus off of the lower right of the picture, apparently somewhere there's a dead dog buried

I think those and others similar are based on hay feeders or hay racks, they used to be in stables don't know if they still are, but as @Scrungee and @pete have said basically baskets.

Grass needs a decent seedbed and soils structure if it is to make a nice lawn. If that is in the "too difficult" bracket you could go with Astoturf instead - that can go down straight onto your hardcore surface (with some sand in between)

That’s is a really nice planter. And I agree with Kristen. Just intercroP with something like radish whist waiting for beans to get going.Rusty

Sadly, yes. People who plant Leylandii just want a quick hedge. If it is cut regularly (probably 3 times a year) it will make a very smart hedge ... its when they get ignored, even for a season or two, that they are a problem ... and taking them out is a big job. I'm fortunate to have the space...

Hello, HazzaGrazza. Hydrangeas (and I am now referring just to the macrophyllas, also called mopheads or lacecaps) have an area in their base where they develop all the stems from. It is called the crown over here. New, green shoots in Spring that come out of the crown and that develop into...

I don't think it would be a problem, but all types of grey water I put on my ornamental rather than my edibles ... just Belt and Braces.Also not sure about "all the time" as detergents would build up.what is grey water: expert RHS advice on using grey water in gardens / RHS Gardening

No that's fine. Looking at the photos again what I thought I saw as a plastic inner pot i s in fact a bit of inner unglazed pot showing below the Blue glaze. Sorry about that ...

Brilliant @NigelJ @Nikolaos I'll get them moved over to the otherwise tomorrow ready for some lush sun over Easter. Many thanks to you both

Yes 100% agree at full price, though I have found some good bargains in the end-of-season sales, and I've rarely had an issue with the plant quality even when they're theoretically past their best. And their customer service is exceptional; a couple of years ago on a whim I bought a clematis as...

It probably would have preferred an Ericaceous compost ...They hate wind (particularly the finely cut leave types), so I would keep it very sheltered.if it is outdoors / exposed overwinter (and even if not ...) Acers suffer dieback of old branches. Not much that you can do about that (that I...
