General Gardening Discussion

They were bought from a reputable Internet provider (we have used them for many years - their products are good, although the post often causes damages) as "garden ready" and subsequently planted over a period of about two weeks.Thank you for that info, we'll check the roots ... if we can...

If possible get it in the ground. They have very deep roots which prefer to be planted. Having said that, your plant doesn't look that leggy to me

Well I'll just see how it goes. Seems like I will need two new cordies. There will be a rush on them at the GC this spring!

Try to get it tipped for free, yes ,free! see: Arbtalk (beers upon delivery!)

Rhubarb would just love to be in the soil below the right hand box behind the themalite blocks. Presuming the lighter coloured heap is the new manure ? Would blend that with layers of green material and generate some heat. It appears to be bound with woodshavings, this will rot, given time, but...

Hi EveryoneI bought Empathy After plant (especially for roses) with the fungi included ... smelt of seaweedso see how that goes ... didnt cost much so hopefully help them settle in ...it was a good thread plus I read a article on using a cardboard box if a rose had been planted in the same...

Hello and welcome to GC forums I agree with everyone else, you don't want full sun all day.

Getting my first glasshouse in mid February and this is just what I was looking for @pamsdish, thank you

Thanks for advice, yes maybe it is just a case of being patient, and the flowers, and leaves, will learn through something like phototropism or geotropism to grow upright instead of along the ground. Maybe they will be better when the corms get bigger and make more flowers, which support each...

Silver leaf cyclamen coum in flower And buds everywhere Camellia Nuccios Pearl Grevillea rosmarinifolium (I think) And soon snowdrops!

Hi all, an update. I walked on grass today and still some spongy areas. Is this normal or should it resolve by spring?

Please Read This Thread First:-Cat Deterrent Talk.? All post of this nature in this thread only.. Humane talk only please.! 2022

Some of my acacia have been frazzled by the frost, though boormanii and pravissima seem ok. My echiums are also black - they looked as though they were going to flower soon I think the UK weather fools us into complacency. I used to have lots of Australian plants in Nottinghamshire, until the...

That sounds promising

@Buzyizze21 All the above mentioned bulbs are well prepared to flower & grow in a shaded area so if you get some of those above they will do very well for a couple of months or three!
