Got a bit too wet for the things I needed to do yesterday, but I had to go out anyway, so it didn't matter too much. Managed to get the other...
Definitely Welsh poppy. They've been flowering since spring here. I have lots of them dotted around as they seed easily. Very useful little...
I originally thought you wanted it as a barrier to 'undesirables' getting in your garden - it's a well known deterrent, along with berberis, for...
Nice wee youngsters there @roders :smile: They're messy aren't they! Always a benefit for the ground feeding birds though.
You could brush them off, but as you're bringing them inside, they'll likely just dry up and drop off by themselves anyway :smile:
What a PITA @Selleri, but at least it was helpful that it broke! I've got a couple of bits of concrete like that - but they were from a washing...
I don't think breeze blocks will retain the amount of heat a stone, or conventional brick, wall would, as they're more porous. Masonry paint will...
Just leave them. They're part of the natural breaking down process and very few are harmful in any way to either humans or any other life form....
'Oh no it hasn't' @ViewAhead ..... Cheeky bandit @pete! :biggrin:I learned a long time ago that thorough prep pays off. I couldn't afford to...
I think summer moisture may be the biggest problem for it. You need really persistent, regular rainfall to ensure it gets through tree canopies....
There have been various reports of problems with children swallowing them @Tidemark and having to go to A&E. I heard items about it years ago....
Wow - that's a very expensive mix @shiney! I use this one https://www.gardenwildlifedirect.co.uk/everyday-no-grow-mix-2-5-12-55-25-and-50kg.html...
Absolutely no problem to lift and pot up or plant elsewhere just now. :smile:Just bear in mind that common yews can get very, very big over...
A misty, damp start here. O'night low was 9 degrees [10 just now at approx. 8.00 am] so very mild again. It's to be a similar day to yesterday...
I used some little fixings recently for a large mirror on daughter's wall. I'd assumed it was an exterior wall as it backs onto the landing of her...
Pyracanthas can certainly be kept neat. I've never used gauntlets for pruning anything jaggy - maybe I'm just used to it! Holly would be fine as...
I'll echo L. 'B's Gold', Viburnum, and Osmanthus. I grow all of those. There are various Viburnums so can't say specifically which one.
It looks very dry. It's always a good idea to soak anything really well that's been a bit neglected, before re potting, but hopefully it'll be...
It's also important to position potted shrubs in the right place. Near house walls can be much drier, depending on the aspect. Terracotta also...
Magpies don't prevent smaller birds being around. We have loads of magpies here, and they're a ruddy nuisance a lot of the time because they've...
