That's good then I can relax a littleThanks Jamie

Looks like a good plan to me :-)

Thanks everyone.They came through earlier this week, I planted them next to the garden arch yesterday. The label that came attached the plants say "Breeders Rights apply".Noticed yesterday that my jasmine have a fungal infection called 'Rust'. I'm going out shortly to zap them with 'Fungus...

Thanks for the heads-up. I have posted there as well.

Just googled Epazote, looks interesting

Thanks Anthony , that is a huge list May take me some time to digest it. We have Wilkos and B and M , and have bought from them in the past . This year I want to peruse and order known types , I'll have a look at parkers. Just looked its very well divided into late and early Tulips, makes life...

Love it @rustyroots, you have already made some great plans, I'm sure once you get cracking it will quickly take shape . I love the curved wall on the patio area. I wish you lots of luck & very much look forward to seeing your garden transform please keep us up to date

Hello mate.It's more the amount of space it takes up that irritates me, want to cut it back more than get rid of it completely. Was also thinking of cutting all leaves up to about 600mm high and planting a dwarf shrub but don't know if that will work? Was originally looking for a dwarf...

Hi IC, welcome to Gardeners Corner. Well, as you probably know there is no such thing as an permanently lasting "instant garden". Turf will take a little while to settle but it does need to be kept watered during the first month. Bare patches can be reseeded by mixing grass seed with...

Hi all,My mum and I recently found some lovely yellow wild plums, and my mum made them into lovely jam. No dramas.A week later I found loads of wild plums, all colours and sizes, and set about washing and soaking them. HORROR. Some of the damson like ones split open slightly, and big maggot...

I wouldn't subject cuttings to direct sunlight, they'll just frazzle I reckon. Just try to give them plenty of light.

Thanks to you both, it turns out that they exchanged it for a healthy one

Yeah I think it is thanks

That's VERY annoying, I feel your pain, had similar experience with some clematis. Bought a mix of colours and 3 of 4 turned out to be the same.Waterlily is SO close now!Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Yup, it's Dodder. A parasitic plant (not a fungus).I actually think it's quite interesting.
