I have quite a few 'accidental' pink ones @Goldenlily26, but I don't like pale pink! I leave them though, as it's good to have some colour at this...
That's a good point @pete , re the camellias on sale early in GCs. Same as the hydrangeas and then the annuals. I don't often visit GCs though, so...
Our B&Q has a section at the exit where you can recycle stuff, and they had a set of shelves for leaving books, DVDs etc. A while ago they left a...
Re mobile phones [I'm not getting involved with politics and/or dictators!] - I only have a basic one. I tried one of the others, but I hated it,...
I wouldn't use fleece. I used netting when I did the grass here, but I usually spread a bit more seed to counteract birds eating it anyway. Mine...
I'm going to sow some more seed than usual at this time of year. I don't often bother as it's not worthwhile - spring sown usually catches up...
We get siskins round here, but they rarely come in the garden @strongylodon , which is a pity. The amount of sparrows going bonkers would...
I never dig anything in @Esoxlucius, but I assume you're meaning organic stuff like compost, manure etc though, and not extra food as such? I...
My kniphofia [Mango Popsicle] just gets eaten by slugs every year @CarolineL . Even this year with the drier/milder winter and spring, once those...
They used to bring their camellias inside for winter at Beechgrove. They do get trashed in spring here, as I'd said earlier, and it's why I don't...
I just saw your post @Plantminded , re your Camellia. There's always one or two exceptions! It may well have been so nicely established when you...
I'm looking forward to my Filipendulas having their seed really viable, so that I can sow them and grow on for planting in the shady bed near the...
Many perennials are a good buy at this time of year for that same reason @CarolineL . They're bursting out their pots! The nursery I use,...
I only use FB&B for initial planting @pete , and usually just for shrubs/trees - anything woody. My soil is now in good condition after years of...
Yesterday was dry and sunny most of the day, but increasingly very windy, which made it tricky for doing certain things. I started on the...
You lot must get different bags then - all the ones we get have holes in them. I'd never use those as a bin liner! I've also heard that many times...
You're lucky to get to January before they're trashed @AnniD ! I only grow one tall one now [Spartina] which copes better here, although the...
We have some of those multi use footpaths @NigelJ , and they do seem to be well marked, but the signs on posts often get hidden by hedging/trees...
Yes - that's the law @KT53 . Our postie explained it to me many years ago. He was obviously a bit hacked off with it. You have to contact R. Mail...
Some more info will definitely help people to offer ideas @Barney Waspe , as @AnniD has said. Also - where will you be siting the pots? If it's...
