Cothey, get some of Wilkinsons soluble lawn feed, and a good lawn rake ( for scaryfing ) and you are on the way. David.

If there's no sign of root damage, and the browning is one side, then it may be the result of a spray.Bearing in mind the danger of neighbour problems escalating and spoiling every ones lives - I would suggest a very gentle inquiring chat. You gotta live with them, and you don;t know what...

Hello guys...just thought i`d give a mention of the finest early you can lay your hands on....Arran Pilot !! Not the heaviest cropper in my experience,but,the flavour !! Of course...everyone has their favourite,but if you haven`t tried them definately worth giving them a go next year. See ya...

Looking forward to the fruits of your labour ...

Thanks peter yes the sun would be nice..daz

Nice flowers Rich.

Sorry meant Gogs dog, but luv the cats too

I've often wondered that, pete, but all I've ever discovered is that although it's South African, there was a connection in the late 1800s with Scarborough, England.The lovely thing about them is that they bloom July/August when other bulbs are not. We always call it t'other half's flowers as...

thanks for your input folks some great ideas there for me to look in to :D

Yip Mef .... a Postbox too

Help people,Looked lovely on ebay but I don't know what to do with them :eek:I long to grow one but I only have 5 seeds to play with. Talk about jump in at the deep end.PPLLLLEEEEEEAAAAASSSSSEE help :DP.

Thanks everyone for your ideas and also to the very wonderful glenw who was so kind to offer me a pebble pond FREE! I was going to stick with the pebble pond because that was what I wanted ,shame on me!But as my hubbie Bob has just had a few bad days (he's at stage three of kidney failure)...

Hi daisybelle Having had a HUGE old montana at our old house I can say for sure that a full grown montana is a very heavy plant indeed and does grow quite fast.We grew ours over our garage and when it got to the other side Bob made a wooden trellis walk way for it to grow through.It looked...

Oh I forgot to add that I live near Rotherham/Sheffield which is just over the border from you in Derbyshire so it should grow just as good for you! Helen.xxx.

Hiya,I have solanum growing up as a climber probably completely different type to yours but i have managed not to kill it. It is a quick grower and has the mid purple flowers with yellow centres.But don't mind me as I live up to my name :D

That'll do for me Dave...common as muck,thats why Pete called it Fred :D The other reason it is easy 'cos the seeds were given away in Amateur Gardening earlier this year,so I guess I am not the only one from GC who has them.........Yes it has been proven they assist the relief from...

Hi Oogie I haven't done nor heard of anyone doing it but, why not? All you can lose is the time and effort and whatever you plant. The landowners would probably be quite happy with it. As a suggestion - take photos of how bad it looks in case you are accused of removing something rare or...
