I've been out digging up spanish bluebells and general clearing up. I turned up an old penny, 1914. There wasn't anything here but farmland until...
As the hedge is on the developer's land, it's theirs to do as they like with even if that means ripping it out. Probably best if you can to have a...
When did you buy the acers? They are deciduous so the leaves naturally fall in the autumn. The buds look healthy to me. Other times of the year,...
Agree with herb robert. The other two look like one of the low sprawly campanulas, probably a garden escapee.
I just had a look at the council's website, and we can now pay for additional green bins if we want them. Now that the system's in place, I wonder...
That's a better system.
Are you in a hard water area? My drippers and sprinklers get clogged up with limescale after a few years (not the actual pipes). I have on...
Looking good Kevin!
Another nice day. I got through a lot of the gardening list yesterday. Today I have some potted bulbs to plant out and maybe I'll thin the...
Where my sister lives they are given stickers to put on the green waste bins that they've paid for. Bins without the right stickers don't get...
In my case there were a lot (a very lot) of spanish bluebells when we moved here so they had probably been left to seed as they liked as well as...
Yes, the hedge will be better if you keep the ground underneath it clear (until it's mature, then privet will cope with more-or-less anything). In...
I've just put a load of weedy allium/wild garlic in the green bin (and some bluebells). Both are pests here.
It might be one of the kinds that's grown more for the foliage.
Surely the developers will need to build a retaining wall when they cut away the ground to build the road? Otherwise there's a risk that the soil...
Mine is hardly even showing any leaf yet, give them a bit more time. The new leaves coming on the bit that you're holding look healthy enough to...
It's a long time since I've had Spirea in the garden, but if I remember rightly they flower on the previous year's growth so you prune them...
I love nectaroscordum too but they don't do particularly well here, and they certainly don't spread. I think they probably prefer more moisture....
Yesterday stayed mostly hazy after a little bit of overnight rain. Today and tomorrow look like being warm and sunny, up to 17/18C which is quite...
Oh yes, the annual spanish-bluebell-hoiking-out season is almost upon us.
