General Gardening Discussion

@longk - too much love? no chance!

I just wasn't thinking when I planted these a couple of years ago - I love buddleia bushes and two of them were cuttings (one of them I moved some months ago due to it seemingly having a problem with the growing tips, maybe due to waterlogging because of a dodgy gutter downpipe, but I replaced...

Ah, those ones were too large. I have now added 2 and 6 in. The last one was just a repeat.

Many thanks.Steve...

You might be better off puttin the whole pot into a bigger pot and let the roots find their way thru the holes rather than risk disturbing them at this stage.Just done similar with one of my tomatoes

Absolutely! If I were to strike gold and get a small little batch going, then it'd only be fitting to put together a separate bed and name it 'Richards Patch'Thank you mate! Worth a go ay!!!

Noted, thanks!

And all thanks to you!

Isn't it?

Beach at 6am! LovelyI remember once going for a walk along a deserted beach on Tiree at 6am. A sea otter kept me company, swimming in line with me the entire length of the beach (long). It was a magical experience.

no, not a mole - Mickey Mouse with no ears

You're welcome.

Sharp eyes, and a sharp mind, KFF. No, not a bad day, just multi-functioning at a great place.

Folks, I'm sorry that I don't seem to have any notifications.. Perhaps, dementia is at work. Or I haven't clicked something.Bumped into this word and felt strangely familiar! Ah ha! It's a thread started by me! Thank you for all the explanations .. I remember seeing a boy growing orchids...

Thank you all for your help. Get my son to bring one home

Hiya Stanley A general fertiliser is fine. My choice is always organic, viz. Fish blood and bone, which is a little slower in effect but more sustained. "Feeds" the soil too. I would not over feed.......plants grown slowly and surely is better than nitrogen rich quick boost quick...

There's a new weed up there this year, must have been dropped by a Swallow

thankyou for your helpful reply's, i will prepare to do battle with these suckers, whoops nearly typed something else.

I had one last summer and the same one is flowering again now, never noticed if it flowered in winter, another sign of climate change, plants getting confused.

Spider plants have a similar growth don`t they - with baby plants growing in a similar way. Nothing ventured, nothing gained good luck, let us know if you succeed.
