I have that problem when writing banana on the shopping list sometimes @noisette47 - managed it here though :biggrin: Got the cage done and put...
I'd be wary about using a rotovator unless you can be a million percent sure you've got all the brambles out first. Even the tiniest bit of root...
It's odd if it isn't firm at the base and is 'wobbly'. If the soil's light though, it's probably less secure than you'd expect. Not a problem we...
That's interesting @Palustris - re your cultivated types being vigorous. I'm aware that the common montbretia is still a crocosmia, but it's...
A frosty and foggy start here. O'night low of 0 degrees [2 just now at approx. 8.05am] and a predicted high of about 7 degrees. It's supposed to...
I do the same as @Palustris re the corms. Just to be sure - are they cultivated crocosmias as opposed to the very invasive montbretia? That's...
It doesn't surprise me at all @Tidemark and @ViewAhead. Victim blaming has never been easier because of the internet, but it's always been there....
Definitely prise off any timber from posts @Selleri - but it can be difficult, depending on what the timber is and how it's fixed. Single planks...
My compost is always wet, and colder, but if you add plenty of 'browns' that will help - cardboard, paper etc. If you can turn it reasonably...
I grew the white Cobea several years ago @Valleysgirl , and it took a while to germinate and get going, but was fairly impressive once it did....
I rarely binge watch anything, but the recent drama, based on a true story, was fabulous. Until I Kill You, with Anna Maxwell Martin and, the...
The seed sowing at this time of year largely depends on what you intend growing, where you are, and whether they need heat. I rarely bother with...
Crocosmias reproduce by making more corms, and the new ones are at the top of the clump. The reason for lack of flowers will be just that problem...
As @AnniD says - it largely depends on the aspect. My front garden faces north west [roughly] and I have a mix of shade loving planting there -...
A damp cloudy start again, but it's supposed to clear later and be quite sunny. O'night low was 5 degrees [7 just now at approx. 7.50 am] with a...
The rest of the body will be under another area @Escarpment...:heehee: Good luck with the posts etc @Selleri. It's always a bit disappointing when...
In the right conditons and climate, it grows very rapidly, so they can need trimming several times a year. Privet grows very quickly here due to...
It looks like a herbaceous one in your pic, and yes - the tree peonies are woodier. :smile: I agree re the hellebores - a large rootball means...
They're common visitors here @On the Levels [coal tits]. Do you think there's a general decline in the population where you are? It seems to be...
Yes - that's the S. spectabile type :smile:
