I took delivery of two berberis yesterday, julianae. Those thorns, wow! Wish I'd found these first, they're brilliant. Reckon I can keep on top of...
I am trusting, well, hoping, that if I keep on top of the berberis, assuming that it actually takes route and doesn't die on me, it might be...
Obelix, At my age, I really can't be bothered with any sort of pond. Neighbours ? I live on a sink-estate, I shall say no more. Am currently...
Yeah, can't argue with that. Wouldn't mind filling it with thistles but I don't think soil will suit them.
Qbelix, I planted a couple of thorny bushes a few weeks ago, including a pyracantha, but they're a slow grow.I'm leaning toward planting...
Nigel, I have no idea about ph levels and the like but the soil is certainly not dry. And since, it would seem, that gorse does well in drought...

infradig, I shall bear that "roots in November" idea in mind and leave all of my planting for Spring and Autumn, have learned THAT lesson.
Well, I DO want to at least try. The piece of garden that I want to work on is covered with paving slabs right now. I could re-position two rows...
Yes, I saw that infradig, might just give them a go. If they're still available in the Autumn it would be no great loss if I messed with them,...
Was looking at cotoneaster that plantminded suggested, I like it but the PRICE . :wow: Wouldn't want to get some and see it go to waste because of...
Top 6 mtrs or so, of my back garden has a 6 foot fence, sides and top. Used to have climbing up and over to and from my side. I got some old...
