I agree too - just slow release food. All commercial composts have it.
Yes - that's tricky @Sheal. Not something I've ever grown Perhaps you could rig up something for getting them outside though, if you can...
Another damp, overcast start. O'night low of 10 degrees, which is just bizarre [10 just now at approx. 7.30am] and a predicted high of about 11....
Yes - the originals are far better IMO @Meomye - I'm not keen on Ashley Jensen at all. If you get a chance- if they repeat it or if it's...
If it's small, then yes - better to be a bit cautious @glosmike . When you're completely confident about the conditions you have, and the climate...
They've been repeating the original [and better!] ones too, with Dougie @Meomye - I've got them recorded.
I agree @Tidemark - I don't like her, don't like him [that ridiculous situation of earning money from the NHS with parked ambulances is despicable...
Don't worry @Peteski2024 - we all had to learn at the start of our gardening journeys- and no matter how old we get, we're still regularly...
It's simple for me @CarolineL - I don't like blue! I don't mind the stronger blues so much though - it's those peely wally pale things I don't...
I wouldn't be worried about a rhodo being planted at this time of year, unless it's small and not accustomed to your conditions yet. If the site...
If you trim conifers, you only take off the new growth, so to keep them at a height/size you like, that's the annual task. Once you cut back too...
Get well soon @cactus_girl - it's that time of year isn't it? A clear bright start here [hurrah!] with some nice pink clouds among the others....
I had gentians in a previous garden @CarolineL - I literally planted them on top of gravel, so they were barely in contact with soil at all. I do...
A smart bit of work @Palustris :smile: That's kept you busy too @Selleri - hope the tree is right though.... Get better soon @Liriodendron....
Yes - if you live nearby, it's very handy for an outing @Hanglow. It's over an hour's drive for me to do any of that range - Campsies etc, but...
Not really done any of the Kilpatricks @Hanglow, although I've done the wee hump nearby, Dumgoyne, a couple of times, once with the addition of...
I'd just dig them up and replant deeper. Unless the ground's frozen solid for the next few days [unlikely] you can just shove them back in, and...
I'd agree with that @pete - in the right conditions, rowans grow quite rapidly. I have two here which were both gifts from birds, and the most...
Another cloudy, damp start here. O'night low was 5 degrees [9 just now at approx. 8.15am] and a predicted high of around 12. It's supposed to...
I used to put a layer of netting or mesh with soil back on top for small bulbs in borders, but it's then a problem if you want to add something...
