I know this has come up a dozen times , but which is the best online company for Tulip and other spring bulbs ? Saves grubbing round garden centres looking for the variety/colour you want.

I do get what you mean Sian and pete . The heat fluctuations and light levels are not ideal .We'll do the sensible thing and keep it on the window in the utility room, they thrive there.

Excellent, thank you!

Yes, they will

Lol, no trogre I wish. My Snowdrops are Galanthus Flore Pleno, the "common" double Snowdrops. Still absolutely lovely and to be honest unless you look very very carefully Flore Pleno really isn't hugely different to Ballerina BUT and it's a big but, I don't sell mine for about £18 EACH!!!! The...

I grew some a couple of years back, I was bought a kit as a get well present when I broke my ankle. The spawn was placed in a jar containing sterile wood chips. The mycelium grew quite rapidly and in s completely dark room gave off the slightest pale green glow ( also called fox fire - Google...

Thanks for the responses guys much appreciated. If you wanted any then please feel free to DM me your address and I'll send some once I take them all off. They were stunning when they flowered and they do flowered for ages because they're were loads.

Hi Andrew. I'm surprised it's taken so long for the grass to germinate, have you kept it watered?It was inevitable weeds would grow, unfortunately seeds can lay dormant in soil for years. The young grass isn't strong enough yet to cope with weed killer so it's best left until next spring to...

This happened to us, they were growing like weeds, we couldn't get rid of them, you only need to leave the smallest amount of root in the ground...................and up it pops again!! Very pretty though.

Another quick update i have a courgarrow growing for the show which is over ft long and i have taken off a 6lb courgette. Anybody fancy some courgette soup?Sent from my SM-T210 using Tapatalk

Im too mean to buy the mags instead relying on glitches and £5 t&m abuse.Will be following your thread mind in case I miss a stormin deal.

Thanks for the advice. Good luck with yours too.

You could try local double glazing firms to see if they could help you out with the rubber sealers Trogre.

Thanks for your advice. Think I will leave it till spring now to give me a chance to get the buxus living again before winter.@WeeTamHoway, do you like swearing? V cold winter I consider those words as swearing

If they get crowded could you not prune them back a bit?

@whis4ey I like the way it changes colour with the seasons!

Ive got a clematis i planted right next to the footings approx 12 inch away from house wall and its done great on its 2nd yr i have a box trellis next to it that it clings too x
