I used to live near Wisley and visited the gardens frequently. Since moving away three years ago, much has obviously happened, so it was great to...
I always make sure I get the 2 for 1 card. I used it lots last summer and hope to do the same this year.
I have loads of ants in my garden. They look kind of worrisome, but don't appear to do any damage to plants. The birds like eating them!
Thanks, BibBird, I have put it down to the cold winter. When I dug up the affected plants, they did seem to have blue mildew. I've chucked them...
Maybe a yukka would do it for you, John.
Could you put a card up in your local newsagents?
Certainly.
My veggies in pots are potatoes, carrots, leeks, spring onions, radishes, courgettes and hestia beans ( the last two yet to be planted). Oh, and...

If it's raining, I go through my planting plans and write notes all over them about what's good or not, what to move, add, implement etc. I also...
I've seen it, Kirsten, and it is VERY worrying.
Yes, I agree, it's early days yet for passion-flower. They do look dead, but it's amazing how they come back again.
Whilst don't have a toad, I do have lots of birdies who love to feast on my slugs & snails, so I don't have to resort to the dreaded blue pellets...
My tulips have not done very well this year, and I don't know why. In the borders, the Gavotas, Stessas and Cape Cod have done fine; but my...
My echium pinanata, which I had high hopes for (pun) succumbed to the cold winter and I've had to give up on them. Very sad, as I was hoping for...
