Fasciation?

I thought I was clever growing "Grannies Bonnets from seeds that are 6 years old !!

I might give them a Naga to chew on....

our back garden of our north facing house is lawned over - up to the west side is a 6 ft fence that we are fed up of looking at so thought we would dig up a 2 ft deep border. the garden, including the fence side gets sun most of the day, so we are wanting to plant shrubs etc that can cope with...

As you've discovered they like animal biscuits! another trap is to leave a plateful of cheap cat biscuit out and then pop back periodically over the night and kill them. I used to water the lawn and then pop out around 10pm with a torch and stab and crunch for hours...

Good afternoon @HarryS couldn't you have put it in a container

I guess the weather this year hasn't helped with everything off to a slow start. It's hard to have patience as you get older, the years aren't long enough Come cut down time I will build up the area with a mound of manure rich fresh soil.The whole area will be cleaned up and the plant as a feature.

The second photo reminds me of one of my father's favourite alpine geranium - ballerina, although it is hard to tell without any idea of scale.

Thank you very much.

"M" not notice! You can run but you can't hide! Judgement will probably be passed in the morning. Keep your head down.

I bet thats where it came from Kandy, you get pot plants from the mixes a lot too.

love the concept of a Hebe hedge... Jenny

Two years of rain, sun, winds will make it look as old as Ziggy feels the morning after a good session down the Pub, GG. Honeysuckle and Roses are recommended to adorn it and really make you smile.

Hi,It's me again with my Japanese Garden.It's a completely raised bed garden. So, I'd like a cherry tree that will grow and give me a canopy.Can anyone suggest a tree that will be suitable in a raised and hasn't got vigorous roots please? The bed is about 60cm H x 50cm D if that...

You did, and I remember taking notes ... (just where did I put my notes? )Here she is, "Shrimp Cocktail"Ok, so not the best of photos and certainly doesn't do her justice, but she is bonny

Make some batter mix and then you can have........Mole in the hole

Probably the first lesson every tomato grower learns the hard way @fat controller. I remember not labelling the first ones I grew, I didn't dare give any away in case I got left with all the same ones.

Very kind of you @shiney, and an offer I may well take you up on. Hopefully, I will finally be in a position to join the gang at shineyland next year, if all other attempts fail

Today, there are 2 identical pink and white flowers . I can see a few more paler buds on the plant too, so it looks like I'll have more pink P. commutatum Please excuse the mess. My garden is a work in progress just now

@simon n I thought there was going to be a photo of you drinking out of the wine bottle through a straw!!!!
