To me, that looks like the kind of willowherb seedlings that pop up in my garden. I could be wrong of course. No harm in letting them grow a...
I agree with this. For me the problem is that at Chelsea we see gardens designed to look perfect now, while a real garden needs to look good...
I have 4 clumps in the garden that spread like crazy. Every autumn I lift the 4 clumps and discard half to two-thirds. That way they stay around...
Another busy day planting out, mowing, watering pots, and potting on the stuff I'm not quite sure what to do with. Finally got the chance to sit...
To me, definitely a lily
I had mint planted out in my old garden, and it did spread rampantly but only across the area where it was planted (which was small and separate...
I've bitten the bullet and started planting out my tender plants today, for the simple reason that they're getting root-bound and I just don't...
Yes, I lived in Moscow for a while. Victory Day on May 9th was always sunny for the military parade through downtown Moscow (I was there for 3 of...
Back to the weather, I'm quite enjoying this spring, even if it has been on the cool side. Rain not been too bad this month - lots at the start...

I've had a stinker of a cold this week, and found that good old fashioned lemsip helped a lot (the powder saches you add hot water to). The main...

I wouldn't give up hope yet. I have 2 rhubarb plants, both the same cultivar, both planted at the same time a couple of years back just a few...
There's a whole generation which seems able to fit the word "literally" into every sentence. Like "I was literally gob-smacked" (now, there's a...
I think it depends on how well established your garden is. I've been in this house less than two years, so a great many of the perennials and...
If it was mine I'd cut off all the old fronds (being very careful not to cut the emerging shoots). I did this on all my ferns back in late March...
Really inconsiderate place to park, that.
For me only a few species crocus in flower so far in sunny spots (tommassanianus and a yellow one I forget the name of). The regular garden...
Great tip! I will try that later this year. Question though, on last year's antirrhinums, is it worth cutting them back and protecting the roots...
I sowed some over New Year: some pelargoniums on a heat mat in the greenhouse (1 germinated), and on a windowsill indoors I have snapdragons...
