Thanks Fran Seems like there are very good reasons for discouraging this cute little visitor. What a shame!
Ignoring my neighbour's dire warnings about the damage that squirrels can do if they get into a roof I've started to hand peanuts, bits of...
I grew a variety of Stock called East Lothian Legacy from seed this year and was rather disappointed that only a few of the plants flowered during...
Oh dear! That sounds like much harder work than watering on chemicals from a can [img]
The firm of May & Baker used to market a chemical which could be watered on to grass (such as couch-grass) which had become invasive around other...
I hate hedge trimming :mad:
I'm not even sure what they're called, tiger lilies I think, deep orange things, undoubtedly pretty, but they invade everywhere around them.
A few years ago I was holidaying in Herefordfordshire and popped in to LIDL's to buy a few odds and ends. On my return I went in to my local...

Well done, Rosa! You might find that Otelo draw the matter out over some months (you'll probably get a booklet entitled "Two sides to a story"!)...
Thanks for these reassuring answers; I grow Morning Glory and Oleander in the garden (not so sure about Deadly Nightshade though)and haven't yet...
Yes, I had the experience of being ignored too. The poor customer service given by Tiscali was a major factor in Otelo granting me an award. I...
A neighbour has told me that these plants, also known as Angel's Trumpets are easy to grow from seed and has made me think about ordering some for...
I had a lot of trouble with Tiscali concerning another matter over a year ago which they failed to address until I contacted the ombudsman "Otelo"...
Sorry to hear about your back, Rosa. I play piano. Just off to the coast for a few days, so garden (and stray cat!) will have to get by 'til I return.
If you're really interested (rather than nosey!)Rosa, some years ago I had a place in Brighton but when my mother became unable to cope at her...
