General Gardening Discussion

well done oktarine your plot looks great and so do your onions and garlic .

I wouldn't mind knowing about what other people subscribe too aswell please. I found this forum hard enough to find, after a few others on google but they all seemed dead. At least people post on here, it seems like a nice friendly active forum

Hi there Glasgowgreen,I read your problem with dismay as I have a rather highly strung neighbour to say the least. Their fir trees overgrow our 6ft fence along our patio and the dog was choking on some of the fir they trimmed and threw over our side (don't ask me why the woman did it), I...

Phillipio,I have a lilac coloured wysteria growing in front, with the intention of having it growing across the front of the house (trained). It was in full flower when bought but didn't flower again for 2 years. Wisteria flower on old wood so if you are patient and give it time hopefully...

It could just be dying back for the winter and will pop through again around March. I like dicentras but found their habit of flowering for a couple of weeks and then dying back annoying. Mainly because I would forget that they were there and plant something else on top. I think that the white...

OMG,As if i needed any encouragement, site is now installed in my favourites which basically means buisiness account will be taking a bashing :eek:What the heck you only live once :DThanks for the link,Anyone want some pink pampas :confused:

I cut them back after flowering and give them some food in spring, other than that I leave them to it. I think I'd be tempted to leave well alone until it next flowers - I'm certainly no expert on them but I guess it's already had one shock this season. Though they are pretty resilient. ...

Well I caught up with the little b******* today, they are only a few mill but definately sammy snails!

You got it in one Newbie,I tend to put plants that don't need much water up on the patio/trellis area ('cos i forget they are there all too often) - went up there a couple of days ago and clematis has become an entangled beligerent mass. I tried to "sling" the overhang over into the front...

Why bother? It would just fudge the issue. The trees belong to the council and if they don't want to do anything to them they don't have to. No point in annoying them unnecessarily. Preservation orders are there to stop owners of trees from damaging them. The lack of such an order does not mean...

Looks cool tho OB,Have to admit tho that the G C Jeep is a treat in this weather but still like ya car :D

Lady no problem,I do a mean beetroot and cinnamon, sounds weird but slips down a treat. May give headache in the morning thoughD:

Way to go Waco you will have enough to start a buisness.

I'm with Geoff on this. I've used it all round the garden while trying to get it how I want, cutting through it to get the plants in the right place. Now that I feel borders are becoming established, I would like to put some bulbs in, so I can either cut parts out or remove sections...

Thanks OB saw that an ok price but I was looking for Pansy Zest a lovely orange pansy nice and cheerful colour managed to source from Jersey.Thanks again enjoy your weekend.

They do sound good. It looks like this gardening mine become a costly hobby

:D :D :D Very good, Waco! I don't think I told you it's a Begonia argenteo-guttata (Trout Begonia). As I've said, I had the Grandmother of yours 12 foot plus tall (she's 22ish now and living with my friend in England) and Mum is probably nearer 6 foot, she gets severely cut back every...

Have more than I can cope with here ... but thank you for your kind offer ...

Hi NG,The ordinary ones grow around 3ft when in flower and mine are doing well in partial sun/shade. I also have some in full sun.To be honest I just planted them and watered, they need canes tho really 'cos they get so tall. They do look very nice i must say but i feel perhaps i planted...

Don't stress Windy,A cedar colour goes with absolutely anything, I know 'cos i bought a swing seat in the same shade todayNow all i have to do is put it togehter :confused: :confused: :confused:It was really quite cheap, �£140 for the 2 seater, canopy, full cushions AND...
