OMG what's happening to my new plant???

Agree JWK, it does. It also makes a comfy home for woodlice, weevils and all sorts of nasties.
Nothing is 100% suitable but the benefits of mulching outweigh the downsides

 

Well after hunting 3 garden centre's yesterday where the plants needed a good watering and for the money they looked drained out the poor things...so no way was a paying a large price again..so hubby popped me to morrisons and brought 2 Snapdragon plants in white £2 each and hubby put them in for me today and the other plant was wrecked they was munching into the stems at the roots.

I've read that you can make Snapdragons perennial plants by cutting back the outer stems and leaving the centre a fraction longer and come winter cover them with mulch and if it's windy to add extra cover and it's worth trying plus they don't attract slugs.

 

Morrisons are selling young Acer plants for £10

 

I bought one at the weekend :rasp:

 

Good Girl ...I was going to until I realised i'd got no where to stick it

 

Come on Gail, you're letting us down now

Surely there's a little hole somewhere

 

I have a large pot that used to have a beautiful bay tree in until it died one bad winter So I bought a Acer palmatum 'Atropurpureum’ from Morrison’s

 

Get hubby to buy you a pot

 

Well it would have looked nice where the weeping willow is...unless slabs start getting removed and I don't think that will go down to well

 

Kazza I have 4 or 5 nice spare ones mate

 

Get 'em filled

 

Where am I supposed to stick um answer that one

 

Err...... i don't think i'm gonna comment on that one

 

You have lots of open space.
