General Gardening Discussion

Hi Janes and welcome, I know that up to 3 years ago they were still being sold, so you should ask at your nearest independent garden centre, they are more likely to help you than one of the multiples. David.

Thanks all, kind of what i suspected. Once i had thought about it i was kind of thinking along the lines of PeterS. It is more like a moring dew. Also i do ventilate it and it does dry up quite quickly.

and not only the dry ones, i think. Sometimes I had some fresh flowers lasting for a very longtime yes, but releasing different colours in the water...

Thank you for the reminders Mira.Dont forget to buy you crackers

One would not imagine that you can get "indigo blue" dye from this plant...

Thank you Kedi and Walnut I will do exactly as you say,Many thanks

hardy but thirsty...

Thanks for your comments. I am with Peter rather than Lady of leisure. This shrub is so invasive it looks (as it is) like neglected scrub land. I had a feeling my answer would be to dig, dig, dig. I'm sure over time I will have many more questions. Thanks for your help.

You're welcome! I see I had a few typos - must really check my posts before posting :rolleyes:The only one that really matters is that it should have read "juniperus" of course!

Ooh another thing, if you're an absolute gardening beginner, then I highly recommend 'The garden expert' book. It's a great basics book, how to mow a lawn, how to double dig, notes on planning, what plants like what situations. It's brilliant and it's on Amazon for �£6.00.I read it cover to...

Brilliant Job Pal,well done to you

Paula, it must be you that I'm listening to on the radio on 104.01 fm :D

A good bit of advice when buying turf is to buy direct from the grower and ask to actualy look at the growing field before you buy. Thankfully I am blessed with an excellent turf suplier local to me.

Hi Bekimac - it's not wooly aphids, though I also have that problem elsewhere :rolleyes: . I think the Aphids are actually called Lupin Aphid and they are falrly new in this country (from America apparently) They are larger than normal aphids and as I understand it are not eaten by the usual...

not me helen, ha ha! yesterday i watched my neighbour sweep the front street (half way towards my house & down the rest of the layby) of all the leaves and berries off the trees. he swept them all up even around a neighbours car & bagged them off. when he had finished i looked over at my half,...
