That's interesting @The Buddleja Garden. I had a quick look at the info, and I doubt that's what would cause the damage on mine, so it must be...
You can certainly reseed at this time of year if you're in a reliably damper part of the country. The new lawn I created about 10 years ago was...
Do you know what type they are @Emcee ? The bog standard green one can certainly become huge, and so can the dark one. If you follow @Plantminded...
It's not a plant I grow @ViewAhead because I don't like the blue colour, which are the most commonly for sale, but I believe there's a good yellow...
I've occasionally had that on mine, but usually later in the year as we don't get a lot of blackfly anyway. I just remove the leaves. Buddleias...
There's one just now saying that people should put onions on their grass to deter rats @Escarpment . I know farmers are having difficult times,...
I also like the orange Fox and Cubs @Escarpment and have some in various spots. It's fairly easy to remove if it gets too full of itself. I only...
I might take you up on that re Only Fools @Sheal ! I forgot to say that I hadn't known about the magpies mating for life. I know Swans do, but...
Just looking back at your query @simone_in_wiltshire , and I'm surprised you've had problems with pruning it. They're pretty sturdy shrubs in that...
Sorry - I forgot to reply here. :doh: Thanks for all the good wishes. I may ask the mods to close this thread now though. Lovely pix @Scroggin -...

The location and the actual site of the tree will also be a big factor in how much fruit you'd get. For example, there would be no chance of...
That will be the biggest problem for you @kristie davies . If you have difficulty breaking the soil up, it would be worth adding some...
The bees will hopefully be fine @pete. It's surprising how they can adapt. I had a nest under my shed last year, and unfortunately, I was...
Hope the apples are ok this year @Allotment Boy :blue thumb: I know sawflies are varied, and particular to certain plants, but I don't have any...
I grew one of my front hedges from L. B's Gold cuttings. It's been in 2 or 3 years maybe, and is around 3 feet tall, but the cuttings are very...
Thanks @ButtercupDays, and I can sympathise re the water shortages. Our last house had it's own supply [from a spring] but there was another back...
Lovely to have those youngsters @Escarpment . It's magpies we're having problems with here @Sheal. They've chased the blue tits away from the...
I'm in a different part of Scotland @Vernon Mackie , and was going to say that @hailbopp would be the best person to offer help because of a...
Yes - a good layer of any organic material - manure, good compost [or even spent compost from old annuals etc] leaf mould etc. That helps a lot...
