Yes it's in the High St he seems very well known here.

I move mine under cover but outside to protect from the wet and ice in winter. Feed regularly as they fill their pots with roots quickly. Have just root pruned mine as they aren't getting into pots bigger than their current 30ltr ones. Nitrogen,seaweed and palm focus feeds used. Lower leaves...

Welcome to Gardeners Corner Marianne. Good advice from both fairygirl and hailbop so good luck with the garden.

@Goldenlily26 Thank you for your input , i shall monitor this over the winter months and assess the way forward . The only vertical stem ends with two horizontal stems , so i shall take photos over the coming months and monitor the changes , i am also inclined to cut back but i know this is a...

I think they are Canary Marguerites (Argyranthemum frutescens subsp. canariae.) If they are, they must be kept above 5C and won't survive frost, so may not survive in a shed.

Thank you @fairygirl

No probs @Mad Meg. I hope things improve for you next year with them. The runners are best removed on such young plants, so that's the right thing to do. It's always a learning curve isn't it? Raised beds are really useful for me as the soil is heavy clay, but they drain more quickly, so again...

Hakonechloa grows really well here I have H. aurea/aureum, as the variegation's nice, but it loses that if in more shade. It likes plenty of moisture so it's very happy in my garden whether in a raised bed or directly in the ground, and in plenty of sun. Despite creating shelter from wind, my...

Don’t start, now feeling decidedly green about the gills and no I have not tried any of that monster fungi.

Sungold - taste 9, earliness 6, yield 2, for some reason my plant did far worse than the other varieties in the greenhouse. Outside yield was slightly better - then it got blight. Purple Cherokee - taste 5, earliness 3, yield 5 - yield would rate higher but lots still green and snails keep...

Today I received my rooting of Sansiviera Moonglow from Madeira. I was surprised to receive a free baby .. it looks like two but it is joined, Is it Moonglow too or another type?

I've found when using SBK that it often works better when the plant is in growth, although autumn/winter is the recommended time, as @CarolineL states. I've used it for blackthorn stumps, and that worked far better than using it when they were dormant. I can't say if it would be suitable for...

Not just restos, either. Seems to be ubiquitous

Thanks

Thanks!

I think the main thing there is, "many years ago".I had a goldfish in a bowl when I was a kid, wouldn't do that now, I know better.
