They don't look too bad given that they've been outside all winter. How long have they been in the pots? Had they flowered in previous years? If...
It seemed to be raining every time I looked out of the window yesterday, but it didn't amount to much - only 0.5mm in the gauge. Sunny today, and...
There's no access to the hold from the cabin (at least not in the majority of large commercial aircraft). I would have expected them to move other...
It was clear when I arrived home last night and I could see Venus. Jupiter and Mars. Neptune and Uranus aren't naked-eye visible here (maybe not...
Rain this morning, 2mm or so in the gauge since Monday. I was away Monday afternoon until yesterday evening so it never got checked yesterday.
Fuchsias do well in shade (but aren't early flowerers). The taller salvias like Amistad I find do need some sun but not necessarily for the whole...
I've had success with semi-ripe cuttings or penstemons taken in late summer to early autumn, but I never tried that particular variety. I didn't...
Damp to wet most of yesterday, 3.5mm rain in the gauge by this morning. Today we're back to dry but a bit cooler, 10C. February is shaping up to...
I don't sow them until well into April either. No greenhouse, they get tall very quickly and definitely sulk if they get cold. Last year I had a...
It looks a bit fritillary-ish to me.
Nice all day yesterday, got loads done in the garden. Back to grey and rainy today but at least it's still quite mild, 10C.
I'd be interested to know who you get to do the work, if it turns out well. Always a chore to find decent local tradespeople, particularly for the...
Dry and mild, hazy sunshine. I'll be out to get some spring pruning done as soon as my antihistamine has kicked in. Usual story - as soon as we...
Thanks for the detailed explanation @gks. It made me lose whatever hope I might have had that commercial peat-free compost will ever be really...
Lonicera "Baggesen's Gold" can be kept very small if you're prepared to trim it quite frequently (mine is about 8" as an edging to a section of...
The RHS says A. unedo is hardiness H5, hardy in most of the UK down to -10 to -15C, but needs well-drained soil, so it might be winter...
I've always found them to be a bit floppy/straggly.
I love the smell of my Sarcococca confusa. I have it in a narrow space against a fence and I walk past it every time I go out to the bins or...
Mild and breezy, but still grey. It seemed to be damp on and off yesterday but there wasn't a measurable amount or rain.
The sudden temperature increase today has made the early crocuses (Whitwell Purple) open up. [ATTACH]
