NEW Gardeners !

thanks

OK thanks Caroline, I have fed these both properly this year but I think these leaves were already in place. I will get hold of some sequestered iron as you suggest and go from there. Thank you for your help!

Welcome to GC Katri-Ann. I can't be certain but they look like Woolly aphids to me but most aphids can be destroyed by spraying with soapy water.

Asbestos fibres are so tiny that white blood cells can eat them whole (and that's where problems start).

What a good idea! I will try that, thank you Merleworld

Hi,which type of amalanchier would you recommend please? I primarily would like one for screening but fantastic autumn colour would be a brilliant bonus. If any of you have alternatives to an amalanchier I am open to suggestions thanks in advance

Good morning @Rapha I'm not at all sure it could be a permanent fixture in a pot but this link might help you my friendStar jasmine (Trachelospermum jasminoides) With its glossy evergreen foliage and wonderfully sweet white flowers in summer, star jasmine deserves a spot in any garden...

Hi Patrick,It's all looking fantastic, what a difference. Well done

Thank you @Purple Streaks

Gumtree,ebay or freecycle might get you the ideal one and for free ish . I got lucky with a free 8x8 Robinsons

I have this and I want to put a nice simple plant in it that has nice big white petals!As you can tell I am an absolute beginner that has no clue how to go about gardening! I'm okay with this as I have to start somewhere so I thought this little project would be a good starter and hope that...

My living room window is south west, my bedroom is west.I wouldn't have my bedroom anywhere else as it's where I start all my cuttings off.

I would plumb for jasmine. But the climbing roses from David Austin are very scented, and beautiful to boot.

If you're on the northern side of London then this is not too far and a good day out and is open next weekend. They also have quite a few hot food stalls for lunch.CHILLI FESTIVAL

Hi Lazyman, saw your message and thought you might appreciate hearing what I've just done with one my two flowerbeds, as i'm a newbie gardener who felt totally overwhelmed by it all too. I found a website called garden on a roll, which is basically a service that chooses all the plants for you...

We have had a LOT done in the last week.Another pal of mine has a mini digger. So we decided it would be best to pull the ivy out... we cleared so much land with that thing. We also levelled the parts of the field that were very ridged.The shed is now clear and mostly spider free apart...

You've made a lovely job of the garden Neil!

Hi FC You can go there to collect pre - ordered plants but you can't go into the nursery :(

Thanks for all the replies everyone, certainly some food for thought there. I hope to get some times to get involved with some of this over the coming month and we'll see where we can get
