I don't mind picking up reduced/end of range plants in earlier summer, but at this time of year, I'd agree @Esoxlucius . They'd need a fair bit of...
I'd agree - don't be in too much of a hurry to stick them outside. Let them get big enough to handle being pricked out. You can then do a small...
I think you were badly needing that wet stuff @Allotment Boy !
If you're not bothered by flowers next year, you can cut the whole shrub back in one go. If that doesn't appeal, the 3 year method, as mentioned,...
There are trees/shrubs which will suit, but it largely depends on how much time you have to spend on care. Even in your location, that summer sun...
I use BF&Bone when planting out anything new @NigelJ , but I don't use it in the fornt garden because of foxes. It's just more work sorting out...
Lovely to have those hawkmoths @strongylodon . We don't get them here, although I think there's a few pockets of them in some areas of Scotland....
Mine are all inside unless I have extra @Allotment Boy. Almost all of mine germinated this year [typical!] so I have one outside, gave a couple...
The other way to see your post after posting/thread disappearing, is to click on Recent Posts and you'll see the thread again. I often forget to...
Flaccid, yellowing foliage would always tend to suggest underwatering @The Enquiring Gardener . If it was short of water last summer, it'll have...
Do you not just use New Posts @Goldenlily26 ? That's what I do. I keep that bookmarked on my laptop and use that to renew once I've looked at a...
I think I also have the Icelandic ones @Pete8 - they're all very similar. There's a garden I sometimes pass which I think might be the Californian...
Not sure what I'll do today. Deadheading anyway. Yesterday I did some work inside the shed - finished the floor at the back and started putting...
Not something I grow either @Pete8 , and I'd heard about the virus/disease. That's good if they've got on top of it. It's a very popular plant. I...
I've got loads of fruit on all my toms, but nothing near ripe yet. Sigh... I think I was a bit later getting them planted out though. It's usually...
I could have sent you the rest of my French Marigold seeds @Esoxlucius . They just get eaten here, so I've given up with them. Calendulas have...
I'm sure they'll be fine @machtucker . As already said, just make sure to water thoroughly before mulching, and keep that watering up until...
Hi @On the Levels - yes, I have lots of little places for bees, and other insects, to nest etc. I'll just have to take alook and see if there's...
Not exactly right for this thread because I haven't actually seen them flying [or buzzing] but it looks like we have leaf cutter bees around. I've...
I read this article earlier. I can understand someone phoning police initially, but the subsequent malarkey just sums up the state of our country....
