I'm not overly keen on pasta either @pete, but a good tomato sauce works wonders for it. I tend to have more sauce than pasta, and some cheese on...
That still seem huge for your water @Ergates - and over 2 bathtubs a day of water. Wow! I can't see how I use anything like that amount -a 2...
Re Montbretia, it does largely depend on climate/conditions as to just how rampant it is, but it doesn't mind drier soil either. It spreads very...
Hope those knees are ok @Selleri. My dodgy knees are less of a problem than my feet just now! :biggrin: I got my buddleia/pyracantha job done...
Nice part of the world @PapaAldo1872 , although I've not been there for a long time. :smile: The problem with rotovating is - if there are any...
I don't really have any problem with motivation at this time of year. I've been able to do a lot more this year because of the drier weather,...
@simone_in_wiltshire - if you're worried about your crocosmia spreading too much, you can plant it in a bottomless pot - as long as it's about 8...
Don't skimp on the watering for the heather. The problem might be that it isn't getting enough. They like good drainage, but a container isn't the...
Aye - get that paint tin out @Selleri! I've doing the same, and there's still more I can do, but the paint makes a big difference to the general...
Yes - but I think what @Plantminded means is - your new plants may have come from another garden @Spruce, as I also said earlier. Not all of them...
I just wish they'd stop messing with the names @Silver surfer! It's much easier if they call it Montbretia. They could have called it Crocosmia...
I only got round to watching the previous week's programme on Thursday night. I'll be interested to see how those Acteas manage in that bed of...
I'd agree - you need to clear the whole area, then take stock of what's viable, and that will depend on whether you even want any of what's left....
I've never had a problem with rocket germinating, but I only grow the wild one, so I don't know if that makes a difference. It grows happily in...
I've had many types @pete, and none were invasive, but we do have Montbretia round here, and I still have to fight with it as it can be very...
Seedlings from many plants don't look like the parent [assuming it's not a sterile variety of course] so you have to take cuttings or divide to...
The invasive one is Montbretia, which isn't the same as the cultivated varieties of Crocosmia. Even here, in damper ground, Crocosmias are all...
I doubt that Skimmias will be happy in that amount of sun, long term. Also, when you say large pots, what exactly do you mean @Harmony ? Anything...
It's why I asked for location @burnie. I don't think people realise the differences around the UK at all when it comes to the viability of...
Just shows the difference in locations and climate @Plantminded . I planted a large Hakonechloa into the front garden about a month ago. It had...
