I only grow outdoor types as I don’t have a greenhouse. I tried Suprina from DTBrown and laDiva from premier seeds last year and they did ok...
IMO they don’t look like they need pruning at this stage. However I think you may spend a lot of your time in the future keeping it in check as...
Yep similar experience for me to. Replaced some alliums that were wrong with no quibble. Didn’t know they were the incorrect bulbs (labelled...
I used to use danish oil on my outdoor table but it wasn’t the best for use outside. I have switched to Screwfix no nonsense garden furniture oil...

[ATTACH] My Clarence House is looking really good this year. This is its third year since planting and has really taken off now. It has loads of...
A bit off topic but I couldn't find standard sunflower seeds this year. Plenty of mini ones, multi headed, coloured but no normal ones. I wonder...
I am trying green twister from seed this year for the first time. Planted 5 seeds and 3 have germinated outside. They have been slow to get going...
