Specialised Growing.

Another request.

I have just replied to a thread about growing Gladioli. I was wondering is there any chance of a forum to discuss/advise on specialised growing please?

I know as a new gardener, everything is new to me and I am very keen to learn. However, there are a few flowers that I have seen that have really taken my breath away. Gladioli is one, but I can find very little information about Fuschias and how to grow them and look after them. I would love to be able to grow some plants that people find really special to see.

Thankyou.

Chopper.

My suggestion would be that you just ask away. Lots of questions come up in the General Forums, and I don't remember Moderators moving posts to different forums (but they can if they feel the need), so I don't think you need to be too concerned if you ask a question in the wrong place.

I like both Gladioli and Fuchsias, can't say I grow either well, but I do try!

I can see what you mean about a forum for specialised growing but I think you'll find that if you throw your question into the ring there's a wealth of experienced gardeners in GC that will give you the detailed answer that your're looking for. If you want to focus in a certain genus of plant then making time to read up on them will pay dividends and of course you have a huge resource here at RC of gardeners who have learnt from success and failure and are more then willing to pass on their knowledge. I'm betting there's a specialised expert out there on every plant you will want to focus on. I'm not a specialist gardener as every plant seems to reach out to me and say "grow me!". So I kind of focus on a plant until I can grow it successfully consistly, add it to the collection and look for something to make me interested. As they say "ask and you will receive"!
