General Gardening Discussion

Quite possibly for food. I grow Lathyrus sativus azureus the seed of which are still sold as food in some parts of Italy.................

Also worth having a read right through that thread to get an idea what bargains come up and at what time of year. I've had some amazing hauls of bargains from them. Many years ago we used to drive 35 miles to our nearest Wilkos, but now have have 4 within 6 to 18 miles, I even checkout the...

I would think now is a good time?

Yeah.. despite what I said above, this year I plan to grow clematis up one, and then shrubs and perennials around the base of the other to hide the trunk area, so the spiky bits are above all of them adding height. I am quite excited about how that will look. Next year I think they'll be too...

Thank you for sharing those pictures with us, it's all looking green and healthy

Nice shots everyone I'll try and get out into the garden and look around. Haven't been out there for weeks. Our garden is usually very slow to get going because we are surrounded by fields and get cold winds off them during the winter.

Called Iron panning, secondary mineralisation where dissolved iron is re deposited when it meets a layer it don't want to go thru.

The Gentleman's code Zigs!Armandii I always try to catch anything with him in such a terrible shame when he died but I'm glad there's so many repeats of everything nowDeli plans got a bit sidetracked to be honest Java; it ran for a while but I couldn't dedicate the time need for it so...

Home from home then!

Looks good

I do all the time with daylily's when I sell on Ebay and that including the summer I have sent to Portugal as well which took 3 weeks. As already mentioned above , all I would add is give a good soak in a bucket of water for a good hour and if any plants have foliage not that the raspberries...

Wow that looks truly amazing. You've done such a brilliant job. Must have been a daunting task at first.

Despite it having been very cold for about 2 weeks now I have both Snowdrops and Aconites flowering in the more sheltered/sunny parts of my garden...ridiculously early for us. There are literally 1000s still to open but always nice to see a few heralding that the beginning of the end of winter...

It's not about the size its what you do with it that matters ;-)Wasnt feeling any of the garden this week to be honest the first one was porbably my fav but it was a bit too messy for me.the middle garden was toooo tidy and too designed too much like a hotel kind of thingThe last one i...

It's an idea!

Probably just enough then!!!!

Yep, it should be that easy but it isn't, you're still left with a niggling feeling of 'unfairness' it's horrid!!!

Checked that earlier Pete Also moved anything that might get picked up and thrown at it, apart from the Ash tree

That footage is fabulous!! I didn't think they could get through gaps that small I'm going to build a hog house on my new allotment (just decided!)By the way, that's a nice sneak peak at your garden, be prepared for lots for photo requests, we love pics around here

Just caught up with that episode this evening and, for me, it was really interesting because I've been thinking about rhodo's and azaleas (in pots) for my patio. I first came across a beautiful pale yellow one, at University, in full flower at a time when I was struggling to get my thoughts...
