Could you post some photos, @Daisy Chain , to help us see what you're working with?Regarding the leylandii, is there any chance your neighbours...
I certainly wouldn't write the hosta off just yet - I've got about 15 different types in various pots and beds, and while some are already...

Thank you for a brilliant update :) I remember finding your website a couple of years ago (I think following a link that @shiney had posted) and...

Yes I know Vale. I've never worked at the referral hospital - I'm a GP so that's a bit above my paygrade! - but their first opinion practice in...
For the last couple of years I've been a locum - a bit like a supply teacher, so going into lots of different practices and covering for other...

Mine have all been pricked out and moved on into the taller propogator. I'm going to have serious spacing issues before long; we were due to...
Aaah that's bigger that it looks then, your potato plans can continue :biggrin:Carrots tend to do best in less fertile soil - I grow mine in...
Lots of bits and pieces here over the last few days; sowed the tomatos, and potted on the chillis, red cabbage and celeriac seedlings, along with...

The sun is out and the outhouse door has finally been fixed, so I can access the lawnmower and powerwasher again :hapfeet: It's been swollen shut...
