@On the Levels how do you bottle your figs please? Do you steam the bottle when full and then seal? Is it in sugar syrup? Previously I've just...
Careful what they say about "UV protection". Do they mean that the polycarb is protected from damage due to UV (it gets brittle) or that it...
Thank you @LawnAndOrder . She had told some of us of her diagnosis, but I had hoped it wasn't so soon. She was a great friend to many of us on the...
Thanks for that @pete, but I have the seed grown one, and a small one bought from Wilko or the Range. Two gardnerium is enough (particularly with...
@pete I'm impressed by your patience! I have hedychium gardnerium from seed. I used to have a massive clump in my greenhouse in Nottinghamshire....
I was given a division of Devon Cream last autumn from a newly purchased plant. It now has 4 good stems and a bud - I thought it was much later...
Thanks @strongylodon And I'm not so far behind, I found buds on 3 different hedychium varieties yesterday!
Your compost looks lovely @LunarSea . You're not the only one to get excited by compost!
I would suggest sticking in bamboo canes where you want to keep it, and then being brutal and pull out the others. Hopefully they'd go up the...
@micearguers They have dug in so many places, my garden would look like a porcupine convention! I've put a couple of broken tiles around the plant...
I managed to buy adiantum venustum recently (I had it in a previous garden and loved it). After planting out, local foxes or badgers started...
Wow @strongylodon that garden looks fantastic! Is it open in the Yellow book scheme? Their gingers are well ahead of mine - I've no buds despite...
I've just started fig picking from my partner's tree. They are huge and delicious. Unknown variety from Italy. And I have rooted lots of cuttings...
When it's bigger it's great @Bluejayway - in a sunny position the leaves seem to be really dark and the flowers a rich true colour
I think it's not little and often - it's LOTS. 10 mins is not long. Try digging a hole in the border next to the lawn and see whether the soil is...
Thanks @LunarSea - really helpful. I spent most of yesterday helping a friend taking cuttings of hydrangeas - about 90-100 varieties! The generous...
Gosh, better than my Morrisons - I despair at the state of their plants within a week of arrival
Thanks @LunarSea - does it jam at all? And more importantly is it easy to dismantle to get at the jam? I had one that was an absolute pig - bolts...
I've just ordered far too many packets from Plant world - they had 30% off in July! When they arrive, some need immediate sowing so they'll be...
Good plant @Selleri - but it's a sarracenia. Surprised that Morrisons have it.
