General Gardening Discussion

You are fine with carrots, rocket, radish, beets. I think you may be a bit late for cucumber seeds - my plants are around 12" high.

I tend to think in this case its more a matter of principle to her rather than anything else. She has always been that way, and I doubt she will change now.Yes we live in small overcrowded areas, and it can often cause tensions that would not exist otherwise.

Thank you, I hope that yours are okay after a while.Noted regarding the lack of feeding - I'll avoid that then.

Well done, they sure grow fast.

Have seen one but not got one.. I use my trusty Wilkinson sword transplanting trowel, nice sharp point and edges to it. Think I pinched it from my mother, can't pinch the Mr's bricklaying trowel though he won't be happy

Seriously though, they go around the back garden, mostly into wall-baskets, but there are some hardies planted direct.

They will need drainage holes otherwise the compost will get too wet and soggy.

Hmmm what a pain!

Take a look at the 'Edible Gardening' forum Magnus. There is a specific tomato thread there that will help you pick up tips, you can also ask any questions you may have.

Blimey, they must have a lot of stamina

Are these plants dangerous for house foundations ?We have a big one climbing up the side of our house.Just a bit concerned that the root system could push down into the foundations.Has anyone heard of this happening with this plant or any other wall climber?

Sorry to hear of your loss. In my work, we have to also deal with our residents who pass on. As we are located in homes in "regular " communities, what we do is plant a tree on the property and buy a little sign to place at the base. We focus on smaller trees that will flower. Guess who is...

I don't really know anything about it but that has never stopped me commenting on things! It seems that you could either stake it or tie it to the fence - or both.

Thanks for the update, you're right, they look strong and healthy

Even better!

I believe my Camellia to be 'Dr Burnside' after a few weeks of searching.I'm going to try and turn the seedling into a bonsai over the next few years, see how it goes!

I should go on to say, that in my method above I have successfully made two Annabells from the mom, and the mom is just fine. And two more oak leaf hydrangeas, and the main mom is just fine. In fact the two Annabells this year are huge.

Or make a very small Birch bark canoe out of it

that all makes sense, silu. Although I did see several examples of rhododendron in full light and looking stunning, but possibly a moderate exposure to the sun is better. And mine has a lot of brown leaf hand hasn't grown since at least one year, when I bought it.
