Very nice @On the Levels . Much further ahead than mine, but I only sowed a few last autumn, as it's rarely worth it here. Most are spring sown,...
All I'll say is - Good luck @ChrisIB ! I'd agree though- make any ramp [if you do that] as long and shallow as you can. I thnk I'd go for the up...
Ok- give us the spiel on that one @Philippa ! Clackerty wotsit's fine :biggrin: A lot of our place name have their origins in Gaelic, so that can...
I have a similar thing to a dead hedge, although it's posts with branches woven around them rather than the usual 2 rows filled with branches. It...
Definitely not skunk cabbage, but the easiest way to determine if it's desirable or not [probably the latter!] is to wait for it to flower. You...
Definitely sharp scissors. Secateurs are useless for that. I have a couple of pairs of snips, and they're quite good for narrower foliage, but...
@Allotment Boy - I grew Lobjoits last year, and it germinated and grew very well, but I wasn't impressed with the taste. That might just be down...
That's a great pity re the oyster catchers @wiseowl . Lovely birds. I wonder what measures have been put in place for those houses re flood...
@Sheal -my Dad was from London, and he worked very hard at getting names correct after he moved up here. Growing up, I suppose we never thought...
The standard of parenting has been declining for decades IMO. I see young-ish children messing about in shops with no fear of accountability....
Indeed @waterbut :smile:
I take it that 'evergreen' is a feed of some kind @Anthony Wilson ? Just be very sparing with food. It's never a good idea to feed a plant that's...
Didn't do a lot yesterday apart from deadheading, some plant divisions put into the ground, tied in sweet peas and a few other bits and bobs. Too...
I agree too - just leave them. Do you mean they're the standard yellow flag Iris? Mine are still flowering. They certainly don't like being in...
One of the willowherbs possibly. The annuals look different from the perennial plant too. The foliage isn't variegated, it's just damaged-...
That looks likely @wiseowl . Lovely birds. We often had them visiting at the last house, although I saw some round here during Covid lockdowns....
Well - it's easy of course - Milngavie is pronounced Miln-gavvy @Philippa.... :whistle: [I'm joking - in case anyone wonders- Mill-guy. Emphasis...
should have been 5 seed but only 4 in my pkt.:gaah:,I looked this item up on T&M's site and it states 4 seeds in the packet, so it's possible...
I have to do a similar process here @hailbopp . I take cuttings as backup though [they're very easy] and put those undercover, and the main plants...
It must be very very dry up against that wall @Anthony Wilson . Sometimes a problem can take a while to have an effect. Drought and waterlogging...
