Thanks AnniD, Funnily enough I'd forgotten that we actually have 2 Caradonnas as well. I hadn't been thinking of them as I found they are...
Thank you both. Salvia have never been my skill set so I didn't realise the variety available; totally different looking plants in the few I've...
I have two of these in our rose patch, planted this year, which show a beautiful colour. I had intended digging them up, and over-wintering in...
Thank you Caroline. I have to take a short break but ASAP I will try as you suggest - I like the cardboard idea. You're so right about the...
Thanks everyone. I'm certainly going to experiment a little, and as well as shredding as many as I can beforehand, I'll try the open pile/bin way...
I've always understood that beech leaves were to be avoided when making leaf mould, owing to their relatively leathery feel, yet as we have 2...
My old Draper leaf blower/suction/mulcher has stopped doing any of those things. The motor is running perfectly well; I spent a long time last...
Day 5 - 1st sign of tiny shoots. Day 6 - yesterday - grass appearing more visibly. Rained most of day. Day 7 - today - grass up to about 1-1.5",...
4 days in, and rain at last. I lightly covered seeds with sieved compost mixed with just a little fine topsoil, pressed it firmly in, watered it...
Thanks for such prompt replies. I'm certainly going to walk on it, or as I'll have to dip gingerly under the fleece I may use a brick or similar...
I dug out an area no more than 3 sq.m. in my lawn where a willow used to be, prepared the soil, watered it well in advance, and firmed it down as...
I haven't the knowledge of proper gardeners on here, but I do have good experience of Sambucus. They have been very hardy on my underlying Oxford...
I meant to reply last night but I got side-tracked. Certainly my thought till I saw @CostasK's amazing pot display was there would be nowhere I...
Oh dear. Thanks everyone. I'm kicking myself for the Sorbaria, and can't face the problems it would pose. On the other hand Songbird is quite...
Not often I buy a plant, certainly a £10+ one, without knowing anything about it, but on a visit to Batsford Arboretum I came away with a Sorbaria...
Oh thank you. As it kept re-growing, no matter how deeply I dug to try to remove the whole root, I was frightened it would be even more penicious...
I wasn't expecting these answers. It's hard to imagine it's any form of bindweed, as I'm all too familiar with the joys of bindweed. Bindweed from...
This started as one weed some years. It has a single thin white root which seems to go down forever. I've dug it/them out many times, but they...

Sorry not to get back sooner, but I've spent what free time I had making a start with new compost bin, having been sidelined physically since last...
