Despite a late start due to rain, I was able to finally plant most of what had been patiently waiting for the temperatures to rise: 6 lithodoras,...
Hi,I was also going to suggest a hebe, which I can see has already been mentioned a few times. They are not the most showy plants but their...
I dig deeply when it's a new area / spot, in order to amend my clay soil, but pretty much never again after that. I just add well rotted manure /...
