That’s funny, I wonder if slug resistance varies with variety?
Brunnera? I think they will tolerate clay soil. They do like shade and slugs don’t like them.
Passiflora incarnata ? It’s a passion flower that is frost hardy down to -15°C or so, and tolerates drought. However, it will spread when it’s...
I think this rule is not well known. In fact I didn’t know it applied to everyone, although it definitely does to farmers.
We bought our raspberries several years ago, and also found that advice painful. But our raspberries were fine and we get pounds and pounds of...
I saw a study on cats with and without bells. It concluded that they learn to stalk without causing the bell to ring, and become even better...
It’s difficult to tell without seeing the leaves more clearly. Have you got a close-up of them?

Thanks, @Fat Controller, I suspected as much. I couldn’t see how an area in the South East could have a last frost date this late. So I can now...
I’m not a rose expert, so we’ll need to await the thoughts of someone better informed than me, but I’m wondering if it’s lack of light over the...
I was just wondering about the last frost dates in our area, as they seem to be getting gradually earlier. I found a webpage called plantmaps...
Our nearest garden centre has membrane covered by gravel. I think they must use weed killer to stop the weed problem that @Erigeron described. The...
I put my Christmas Cactus out for the summer a couple of years ago and the slugs had a field day, so I’ve not risked it since. It’s fine now, a...
I didn’t either. One of the kind mods thought it might be because I’m using an iPad and added my signature for me, so you could ask if you haven’t...
Hi, I have posted occasionally on GW for years, and don’t think of myself as an expert gardener at all. I’ve never felt patronised or pushed out,...
