Some of them look fine, but we'd need to know what they are. I'd certainly not expect early clems to look perfect at this time of year, but...
I look forward to seeing what you get @NigelJ. I tend to avoid anything that could be a bit iffy, hardiness wise, as the climate here can be...
@CarolineL - I've got little buds appearing at the base of my white peony which is just ludicrous. I may have to add some dry material over them...
Slightly different, as it's not an outdoor pic, but it's the pleasing reminder of remnants of the remaining summer flowers...until next year......
Another damp, smirry start. O'night low of 10 degrees [11 just now at approx. 7.50am] and to be much the same as yesterday, but without the...
When I had them, there wasn't the choice available that there is nowadays, and of course - no online provision -as it didn't exist! The dark ones...
We didn't get charged for garden material until a few years ago @shiney . I'm quite surprised you don't get charged. Mind you, since you make good...
What size were the bags if it took two of you an hour to fill them! I can fill two bags of leaves in about ten minutes. An extra five minutes if I...
It's not a problem to plant tulips in pots in new compost throughout autumn. It's only when planting in the ground that there's a risk of tulip...
Yes - the heat element is the one that's difficult here @shiney . Mine never gets to any great temperature, even with extra insulation around the...
There isn't any great mystical process with leaves @Robert Bowen . It's just a slightly different type of breakdown from compost, and the time it...
I'd agree with @hailbopp re the hardiness of Ceanothus @Barders, as well as being careful with the pruning/trimming. Many of them are also quite...
Hmmm. I don't think they look good, despite the time of year. Where did you get them @Wildtypitch? It always depends on the type and variety too...
Looks great @shiney. Yours certainly has more room to show itself off. :smile: I think pollarding would be the way to go with yours @George...
That's very quick for compost @shiney . Takes a good couple of years here to look like that, and even then it can be lumpy, despite chopping up...
Another murky, smirry start. O'night low of 11 degrees [11 just now at approx. 7.40am] - and a predicted high of about 12, but some stronger gusty...
Ah - I was [wrongly!] assuming they were the type most of us have - davidiis, globosas etc. That's a pity @NigelJ . You have a lot of unusual or...
They mentioned that many of them stay in the vicinity @Sheal, as opposed to the thousands that move on. It was a very interesting item. It might...
@Sheal - they did an item on Landward [?] last week, and it seems to be pink footed geese that are the main ones where you are.
I think it's likely to be lack of water. The ground in pic 0009 looks bone dry, with exposed roots too. You have a lot of thirsty shrubs/ trees...
