I think there's a combination of factors there @Tinkerton. I'd move those if they were mine and try and get a more open site, and make sure they...
His [Bob Flowerdew] hair was quite something wasn't it! Fantastic. Nice to hear he hasn't changed @Thevictorian. Always seemed to be a very...
They really are fabulous @Sheal , aren't they? I've often passed them but never visited as such. Glad you've enjoyed seeing them up close. When I...
That's great @Kevin Cowans - I couldn't decide from the photo, so the new one helps. The new growth looks sound which is promising. I think I'd...
@NigelJ - I know Jekka [not personally!] for her herb gardens and books, but I wasn't aware of the tomato or other fruit/veg association. I've...
@Loofah -we pay around £52, and you get a sticky label [which is impossible to get off but they want you to put it on a fresh bit of bin... ] but...
I think I'm very like you @NigelJ ! Did practically none of the things I intended doing yesterday. It was a similar day to the previous one...
The new growth could be from below the graft point. If so, and it continues to grow well from there, it won't turn out to be what you expect, ie -...
I'd forgotten about those books @JWK. I had several of those books [tho not the fruit and veg one] when I started gardening. Those Matthew Biggs...
It's why I won't have them in a garden now @Plantminded, but I see them when I'm out and about in various gardens, and the idiot across the back...
Are the sickly ones still alive @Ian G ? No point trying to encourage them if they're on their way out.I can't tell from the photos, but that's...
I've moved peonies many times too @hailbopp . It's a myth about them not liking it. It comes down [as is often the case] to being done correctly...
I don't trust any bamboo here. The so called clumping ones can still spread to become very, very large. Our conditions suit them too well. I...
I thought I'd pressed Post on this yesterday, but my rubbish fingers obviously missed....I think I mentioned before about the old episodes of...
Yes - sides of mountains in Chile, so cold weather isn't a problem for them either. I have a good photo of one in a garden not far from me. It had...
I only did a few bits and bobs yesterday. Every time I went out, the rain came on, so I waited until it was a bit better in the afternoon to do...
Interesting. I've never had mildew on Polemoniums. I only grow the white ones now, but I've had blue ones in a previous garden, including the...
I can't help you with an actual title @Sirius , but it might be worth checking out books by Bob Flowerdew [the most appropriately named person in...
Yes - some are more susceptible to it @hailbopp , and they still can't get to the bottom of what causes it. I thought I'd lost C. Niobe a few...
I do that automatically @ViewAhead. I do it by reducing them to below 1MB, after cropping and tidying them up a bit. It's just the length of...
