Gardeners Corner Question Time

I have only ever lived in th UK. Being interested in gardening. I joined Gardenersworld. Hells bells what a catastrophie. There is so much sound and wise knowledge on there but sady there is also what might be termed the witches cavern. I found that yes, there was good advice available but....

Sounds just like me!! As my father-in-law would say, in his understated way, “They’re all nice!”

Sian. I'm saddened to hear you are one degree and. I wish you a speedy return to good health.JWK. I'd be inclined to answer. "All of it." As I may have mentioned before. Us gardeners soon realise that gardening doesn't begin and end with a bit digging, weeding and planting To me the...

Just found the pic from when I had mine on the 18th. I'd strimmed and raked around it earlier in the day, so thought it OK to leave burning, next morning found the footprint was about 3 or 4 times the size.

Thanks for your reply Dips. No it's not a Wardian Case. Best description would be that it resembles the old-style food safe, used to keep food cool prior to fridges. Instead of the safes perforated zinc panels the propogation box has glass/clear plastic sides with, I assume ventilation slots. I...

I have always strived to follow what my parents had taught me, be honest and true to yourself. Others will either accept or reject your values, that way you can find and keep the friends who respect your values.

pray tell, what is shineyland.. Ive heard of it, but I'm still unfamilar!

Nice one, thanks for sharing

The winter drought is almost over for me - the Pleiones are about to burst and my Salvia discolor is loaded with buds too.

My Dear Friend. I hope that this our relationship on the forum.I am wondering just why you have raised this question. Originally I posted a comment that you, fair do's disagreed with. I posted an apology and you accepted. So IMO end of subject. I wish you well.

So this place is haunted is it?1. How did you come to join Gardeners Corner? Googled gardening forum and this one seemed the best. 2. Name the countries or counties you have lived in â?¦ Born on the outskirts of Brighton,Sussex. Married and lived in Poole, then outskirts of Blandford...

That would be a stunning addition to a border, thanks, Shiney

I've resisted the temptation to water tonight. A higher authority insisted on helping out. It aint half wet out there

Sorry for the late reply; I wouldn't say that I have one particular plant that is a favourite but I do like some some of the more unusual shrubs and trees that I have grown from seed like Cladrastis sinensis, Acer pensylvanicum 'Erythrocladum', I also like Sorbus Hillings Spire and Cornus Kousa....

Eddy the Gazebo is great.. I just love the shape of it & I bet you have the garage walls neatly racked by now... I remember those photos of the front... My you have done well mate.. As for your joints I would get on the Cod lover oil & the glauco tablets.. You are a workaholic in love with your...

Thanks for the compliment. Actually the back garden has extremely low maintenance; it's the front garden, which is taking up my time at the moment. There's no grass in it (the mowing type) and I'm gradually covering it with plants (perrenials) as I can afford it but the weeds see the front...

I once saw Phil Harding coming out the museum in Dorchester.The point about bickering etc. The history forum I was on was like that. It got quite nasty at times.G.

7th year plastering! Flown by, though.And I have small nephews and niece, so there's no way my parents would let me put a waterfall in the garden, but I'll prob move out in 2 years or so (maybe before) so I'll have one then :D (I don't pay rent, it's why I live at home, btw) lol

You met Alan Titchmarsh, I knew he would be a nice bloke, he just comes across that way, a natural.
