You'd have a telegraph pole

Thank you Charlie & Sheal I really had no idea if they will live or die, but glad to see they are coming back. Hopefully we might see them flowering in next year or two.

More than mine did all year!!!!!!!!!

Beautiful rose: how thoughtful of your parents to send you that picture today; you must be a very close family.I don't think we ever stop missing loved ones who have past that we have been close to

Trouble is, I keep getting the bottles mixed up and I soak 'em in bleach :mutters:Leave the Jammy Dodgers in the desk drawer - you know its only you, me and Marley Farley that goes in there - Zigs is afraid of the spiders

Thanks Val and Palustris. Thanks for the offer of the seedlings but I'll let you hang on to those. I grew Knautia from seed this year and have just dead headed it. The bees have loved it!

Who'd have thought I could get the information I needed within minutes and a colour choice too!!! Ivy now upright with clear Tec7 and a couple of planks for good measure. Agree with Jenny, you lot on GC always come up trumps when I'm needing some good and practical advise.

Hi has anyone got honeysuckle Belgica or Serotina or Gold flame cuttings for sale... Thought I would try on here first as I saw the seed swap so just giving it a try

naa just got to encourage the young

My Olearia must be over 60 years old. It was about 20ft tall with all growth at the top and looked awful! Took the plunge and attacked it in April with a chainsaw, pruning down to about 3ft. I'd have been all day if I had used a pruning saw as the branches are thick. Gave it loads of manure...

Plant them anywhere, few inches down, you can even grow them indoors at this time of year. planting distance isn't crucial, few inches should do it.

I got some from wilkos, planted in February (some straight in ground) and they all flowered.

Yes @SharonL was drooling at him in his diving gear but can't understand why they don't get Packham doing the bog snorkelling instead of poor Martin who spend most of his time sitting bolt upright and teasing Michala

Stunning!

I prefer Scrungee's offer of Monmouth Beach

I've got some green clumps of bramble's weather they will ripen only time will tell.Today a chap asked if he could pull the few that are still ripe to go with his apples that he has just pulled. My reply Only if I get a slice sorry but his reply was not for this forum He's a good mate anway

I always liked Homebase their plants always seemed in better shape than in B & Q, I think the problem is people buying online instead. My nearest Homebase/B & Q is in Hereford which is too far to travel, but I don't miss those shops at all. I can get what I want online.

Us ex-navy types are all the same lol

Thank you
