General Gardening Discussion

Yes, but I have noticed it doesn't seem to grow and flower as fast as other geraniums I have had. Hopefully it will pick up as the weather warms up.

Dependant on how many plants you would need to move, I think I would go down this route personally. You can then re-site everything where you want them and not necessarily where they were.

Thanks for the welcome guys. I really am so excited about this place. It was the first property we went to view and both fell in love with it straight away. My partner loves the house and I loved the garden ( the house was always my second concern [emoji13]).I've already started planning and...

I've had stagnant water in one of my water butts before, I used it on the garden, the plants seemed to like it.

I think it would be better to keep the ground level. Below there are some lovely edging ideas which are level with the lawn and easy to run over with the mower.

Haha. What were those cordons like??Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Speak to them first, sure, not everyone is accommodating but don't be put off by the stuff you see in the press, most people are perfectly reasonable. Worth pointing out that the trees are on their land, they may not be aware and think they belong to you.I am in a not so dissimilar position,...

Thank you The first pic of the vine is whilst it was still growing The second is a small section I cut off (pruning saw, loppers were too small for the task) and my thumb in front of the camera lenses lol, sorry

Hilarious!!

Have a look on Ebay, plenty about, consider clover too, excellent for bees. I scattered clover on my lawn last year and got reasonable germination.

Not tried bonemeal, instead for those I can't physically remove I put a few cuts in the top so that rain water pools and soaks into the centre of the stump. I think that speeds up rotting.

I found an old packet in the cupboard and sowed them in roottrainers, so far so good. Not many but enough to gather their seeds atseason end for a bigger batch next year.

We had one yesterday evening (in the incinerator) got through a lot of the pile but have barely made a dent on it overall (if that makes sense), so we're going to have to have a few more to get through this lot To give you a clue of the battle so far, I uncovered some ivy vines growing out...

I cant find your original post now but I remember replying as I had done something VERY similar to you. All I did was dig it up and turn the turf face down and putting the top soil on top. That was as much to give me a nice level area before I put the top soil down so may not have been needed....

bonemeal may have weed seeds in the box too, as in crushed weed seeds???

I've got most of mine out too, but I have fleece, cloach tunnels etc etc at the ready just incase! My pots are in & out of the greenhouse & porch but I think this week they reall need to be out. The saying around here is never cast a clout until may is out so I'm a bit early! I have friends who...

That cast aluminium furniture looks amazing!We couldn't find a good supplier :( so opted to take a gamble on a new product called "Winawood", apparently it's completely no maintenance (so the website Gardencentreshopping says), but we will see!

Wistaria sinensis ( chinese) tends to produce the flowers before the leaves whereas with the japanese, Wistaria floribunda they will come out more at the same time and can get easily hidden if not well pruned in february.

I killed a large Ivy trunk by smacking a bagful of copper nails into it.

I got used to seeing it there Sam but still haven't got used to the fact it's gone. What doesn't help either is the disappearance of all the Starlings that sat on the cables and used my bird bath.That's a clever and attractive use of the poles.
