NEW Gardeners !

Good choice.Show us some photos once it's up.

For indoor use it should work well, although you might have to re-stick it in a year or two. Outdoors in the cold and the wet.........not so good.

Only ever seen one rat in my area, and found it dead a few days later. Far too many cats around here for rats to stand a chance.

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

Thanks. We've talked it over and have decided to compromise on the size and have a gap between our fence and the greenhouse. Like you mentioned John, hubby pointed out that there needs to be room for maintenance etc. Looks like something smaller but that's better than nothing!

@Anthony Rogers , mine was like that last year . Just seems to be stunted and sickly this year . I am sure Tesco or Asda will have the little standard salix on offer again next spring. They are very popular these days

Now is the perfect time to transplant them. Unless it's a really harsh Winter they should keep their younger leaves. Rust is an airborne fungus so there's nothing you can really do to prevent it.

I'm in Doncaster The shrub wasn't growing and leaves were turning brown. Can you give me any tips on replanting? Is it hole slightly deeper and wider than pot, then do I mix multipurpose compost in hole.

Not a wallflower grower, although I do like them.I seem to remember somewhere reading its best to transplant, it breaks the tap root and makes the plant form more fibrous roots. I also think its called wall flower because it has a habit of seeding into dryish walls where the tap root is...

Trouble is gardening, or growing plants is not an exact science, so you often get differences of opinion, its what works for you that is the best. Usually arrived at by experimentation. A knowledge of where a plant comes from in habitat is always interesting, some plants are much more...

Second pic looks like a Geranium to me. First pic is definitey a bush.

Moved into established garden and pear tree being attacked sometimes branches even go black photo attached of leaf damage can I treat it with anything?? Thanks in advance

Steve, as you are getting rid of the plant don`t worry too much about the roots. Just dig around the plant and cut the roots.

It`s also easy to divide when clump gets too big.

Thanks I'll get some in so I've got it while I remember

Going to buy her fly tape instead ha ha less hassle. .she just hates flies

I agree with Loofah,A plant needs its foliage to breathe through. If you cut everything off it will die.That method would work if you were doing it during the Winter, dormant season, as long as they're not evergreens.

Thank u pal

2. Left.....That looks like a Spirea too ?
