General Gardening Discussion

both, clock wise and counter clock wise. So my ridding mower will unwind.

Well here is my tree, not good is it but I'm gonna try some extra TLC, more water, more food and see what happens, don't like to give up on a plant that I like any suggestions very welcome!!

I grow Achimenes as house plants and always have more tubercles than I need for the indoor pots so I stick them in a seed tray with some potting compost and use the resulting plants either in hanging baskets or just as bedding. They are generally pest free, tolerant of a range of conditions,...

I have been mowing over some that germinated on the lawn, noticed some nigella seedlings too.

The person who madehas used a childs paddling pool to try and contain it , good idea.

Yes they were supermarket, it was the rate at which they germinated. surprised me if it had been something I really wanted to grow......I would no doubt be still waiting

If the area is not planted (i.e. a path or similar) I would use a barrier membrane like Terram (or a different brand that is equivalent). That is a soil membrane but has drainage holes; it is intended to last for ages and is strong (unlike regular plastic sheet).If it is under plants I would...

That's the best looking propagator I've ever seen

Instructions on the packet said: A quick shake that was all that was needed re store they come in their own little plastic box A rinse under a tap bit more hygenic methinks

Hi this is what it says on the T&M sitePot up stock plug plants and grow them on in frost free conditions, for transplanting into borders, beds and containers later on. When all risk of frost has passed and plants are well grown, acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7 to 10 days. Plant...

Interesting to hear Anyone else grown them?The seed-sellers descriptions certainly sound enticing (although I take marketing descriptions with a huge pinch of salt!)http://www.kingsseeds.com/vegetable_seeds/Tomato Rosella/P-14865Just Seeds (on eBay) sells it too [at half the price of...
