Hazy sunshine here and lowest reading on our car temp gauge on journey through town just now said said 23c. A bit of a gentle cool breeze though...
My mum could get clematis cuttings to root by just asking them too, or so it seemed @Ladybird4, maybe you are the same x
Thanks for replies. I’ve tried intermodal and probably every variation on, but will try again. Will also try layering as I haven’t given that a...
We lost three Clematis Broughton Star a few years back from clematis slime flux (as grim as it sounds). They were around 3-4 years old. From...
Has anyone tried Clematis cuttings in water? I have a very vigorous well established Julia Correvan but so far have failed to get any viable...
I’ve done a lot of sitting in the garden today. In my defence, like @ViewAhead I was doing some thinking about what to do as well
We battled lots of docks and Alkanet here, both of which also have long tap roots. I found using a sharp pointy trowel (bulb planting type?)...
There is another campanula which would probably work with another name I can’t remember portenschlagia(?). That might not be quite right but...
Forgot to answer your question re growth. It was fairly established when we inherited it but it grow quickly each season, throwing out long stems...

That’s interesting @noisette47, I’ve not heard that before. We had three large cistus which we took out last year , they surrounded a struggling...
Am leaning towards risking it and putting the mint in the ground. It won’t happen yet as I’m revamping the area this summer.I wonder if next...
I know mint will run amok if grown in the ground but does it smother everything in its path? I’ve a small area at the back of my herb garden where...
Have spent the morning battling ivy too @On the Levels so can sympathise. Mine is in an area I inherited and haven’t really done anything too in...
No, just leave them alone. Only need attention if there’s some dead, tatty foliage which you can cut back if needed, sometimes it may just pull away
They don’t like the sun, dappled shade is probably the most they would cope well with. I would suggest dividing them, they just look like they...
We have had a bumper year for honesty too. However no matter how much I scatter the seeds from my few white ones, they only ever pop up in small...
Separate names with a comma.
