Hello @peteThanks for the reply and the information.Kevin

There are several exiting options, depending on what kind of greenery you are after. A photo of the situation would be great.Devil's Ivy is a brilliant climber you can fix on the wall to snake around in a very ornamental fashion. It's a large plant but the roots are small and it grows well in...

Update: Arrived and all planted Was a right skill full maneuvering job trying not to hit other bulbs whilst planting these and i kept sporadically unearthing crocus that had started to set root and shoot! I just re planted them, i'm sure they will be okay. There was a lot of space left under...

Hello @ricky101Thanks for the reply and the information.Kevin

Lucky you! A pic would be great in feb or whenever they bloom.

A pair of "Christmas " cacti

Mine have been in bloom for a fortnight too. Even the tiny cutting that I took in May has a tiny bud on it.

Just heel them in somewhere, or put them in a pot and cover with compost.

Hello allThanks for the replies, much appreciated.@Clare G no that is not lawn around the corner, it is another border, unfortunately, I do not know what it is that is growing on the surface, something I need to look in to.I will look up the suggestions.ThanksKevin

@Sian in Belgium Thanks very much for that, Sian! I think I'll dig down deep and perforate the planting hole with a fork rather than planting on a mound. I'll also add plenty of grit.Nick

I'd reckon quite possibly yes! .. Next year you can report back to let us know

Thank you i'll give these a shot

Hello @Black OrchidThanks for the reply.When I had the Garden planted in September 2019 I was told to basically plant the Clematis at double the depth of the pot, which was done, hopefully that will help.I seem to be having some teething issues with two of the five Clematis at the moment...

Hi,Normally a sticky residue would mean Aphids, particularly Blackfly, but usually they will be clearly visible, unless the ladybirds or birds have already eaten them all ?If there is no sign of the creature , then Slugs and Snails are the other common pest, again more often noticed by holes...

Mine are in various pots too, some I have sunk into the ground. I do feed very occasionally but tend to forget a lot too. They're just coming into bloom now.
