NEW Gardeners !

You're more than welcome, Tony, and knowing that you will have a smile on your face when the Rose is looking good and flowering well next year is good enough for me.

Hello Noisette, The parent plants that I took the cutting from do seem to be healthier than the hardy ecklonis at the moment. Unfortunately the label doesn't say a type just that they are hardy down to minus 5 which probably means in Scotland they won't survive. You never know though. It will be...

Let us know how it goes please.

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

Send for Amandii. He will do a quick reccy in his F35, give the odd nuke. Job done.:giggle:

P.s. for Pelargoniums, if you cannot tell the difference yet between, upright and trailing (ivy leaf), feel the leaf, if it feels soft and velvet like its an upright, if it feels thick and waxy its a trailer, there are new types known as interspecific, which is a cross between the two, the...

It wasn't duff information from you, I should have added that once thawed then some insulation would be a good idea. But as we both said moving to a frost free area would be the best thing to do.

The first year they looked rubbish. 2nd year they'd definitely grown. This year they've really filled in and grown loads. I only wanted a small height box border...about 25cm-30cm high. I planted 100 at 5 plants per meter. I'm really pleased so far. I've pruned them so they get bushier. I'm...

I'd just leave it as is it for now , you can always give it a mulch of compost after planting up.

Hi,The key thing thats missing regarding climbers, it what height is there for them to climb up ?Your pic looks like it may only be 4-5 ft ? though could it clamber over that shed ?As @ARMANDII mentions your existing planter is very smalll for a climber, so easy for them to dry out on a...

Hi,Do you need Grass for kids to play on etc ?If not, for the size of garden there is so much more you can do.If you search on "small gardens without grass" you will see lots of images, some below, one of which might make you think thats the style for you ?You could do just flowers or...

Wow, just watched the video, that is a lot of planting you did, and so sweet of you may I add. Can I ask where you are based? I see you have many vids up on your channel. The plants have done amazing, your parents must be pleased. ❤

Welcome to Gardeners Corner Matthew. We have quite a few members join with new build garden problems. Quite often builders don't bother providing a garden that's workable and will bury rubbish and rubble covered with a few inches of soil, turf or grass seed it and walk away. Unfortunately in...

Thank you pete. I'm working on a frame to prevent the fleece touching the foliage. It's worth a try!

Look out for draughts,water logging and scale insects too

Ah! I have sussed out what they are now they’re to say if you like or agree or find a post helpful or funny ( still finding my way around the site)

@DevonPhilYes, I know

At the moment after some more documentation, Norvegian Spruce is the best for me (and cheap).What is the planting distance, please?My guess will be 2 per meter!?!

I'm not sure if this would help you but last year I was in a similar situation.I planted some in a mix of compost and vermiculite.I put quite a good handful of vermiculite around the bulb itself . I wrapped a few layers of protection fleece around the whole lot. I put these against and partly...

Hi JR thx for the reply... Water butt I have already as a Christmas gift I just need to fix it all up. The composter I was thinking of doing bottom right as you said, just unsure as it gets no sun down there even in the height of summer. But if u think it should go there I'll go with that.For...
