Other Plants

Mine is definately going to go into the ground.

Sal, Wustaba's plants are a lot more than £2.50! But a lot of them are very rare in cultivation and you can't get them anywhere else.

Going for easy, reliable plants is always better with the scenario you have. If they do well, and your daughter then enjoys it, she'll experiment and maybe do a bit more research etc as she goes along. My two aren't remotely interested, and I've never tried to make them because it would be like...

I set my camera to restrict the size of my photos to 1.5 MB. These drag and drop with no trouble at all. As I have no intention of making large prints of the pictures there's no need to have the photos in a bigger format.

Yes, good idea. I'll also ask the owners at East Ruston what they grow, next time I'm up there.

did you have also a little soil around the roots or bare roots?

It'll be a while before they're ready! When I say slowly, I mean slowly!!!

Indeed, answered my own question earlier! Came home and happened to look up and yes, it certainly can grow on steel cladding Seeing the pics above though (and the ease of pruning description) I think I'm going to pull the ivy out and get a virginia creeper

Is there much visible root, JS? If not, the last thing I'd do is disturb the rootball as that will probably finish it off. It's a job to judge what's best without being on the spot, but I'd put it back in it's pot, leave it in a shady, sheltered corner, give it 1/2l of water once a fortnight if...

Come on slow coach ... I've already begun mine! Ok, I'll begin a separate thread so we can get this party competition started properly

I did Thanks for that, Sheal.

@ThePlantAssassin Yep, it certainly is a Red Admiral! Buddleia looks nice and healthy, too! Brimstones, Small Tortoiseshells, Peacocks, Red Admirals, Commas, Painted Ladies and the ubiquitous Small Whites in higher numbers on mine this year! (my apologies to any butterflies I may have left...

Just to throw a little spanner in the works regarding aquilegias:I bought a very pretty aquilegia from Shineyland in 2014 (may have been 2013 though ). I also moved house later that year. In 2015, it flowered again beautifully and I collected some seeds (sent some to a fellow GC member if I...

Mine is looking similar. It did have one bud but it dried/shrivelled up? I think it got too dry in the greenhouse. I'm going to plant mine in my new raised bed and hope for flowers next year.

What about Taxus standishii? During winter it is olive green turnng bright yellow in early spring with red berries. Tall and imposing. I grow Taxus Coppershine too. This has green/white leaves in mid winter that become a coppery orange colour in spring/early summer.....really eye...

Hi Verdun, I'm envious of other members gardens believe me!!! Some of the gardens displayed in the pics are tremendous and show a lot of devotion and passion. I'm afraid I just bumble along and keep packing plants in the borders and try to grow anything I see and like: I...

Well here is a money plant in desparate need of something.

I've never seen seed offered and I've looked.
