Lol Dizi isn't that just how things go never mind it's a thought for next time if you ever need to do something else along the same line again.Hel.xxx.

Wouldn't like to say really. I suppose if they still look healthy, then there is no harm in continuing, but its getting a bit late for a flowering plant this year. Not sure that they can go a complete season dormant, and then grow the following year.

Thank you, PAL.:D

"could you give me an example of a 'high nitrogen' fertilise"Sulphate of ammonia. Look at the "NPK" rating; the first is "Nitrogen". So something which isbig-number - tiny-number - tiny-numberwill do the trick. There are seaweed products (like Maxicrop) which I think are high in...

Sunny up there? That can't be right!

Found it - thanks Walnut I'll give 'em a ring and see if they got any left.

Oh, that does look lovely, borrowers, and I love the blue and white, looks so refreshing. Well done! :thumb: I bet it looks pretty in the evening with the lights on too. Daisees, I didn't know that! Thanks for the tip.

Hi Bella if it's year round colour you're after you could try putting some heathers in just as long as you don't plant any of those funny coloured ones i.e. the fake colours that you will see knocking around like the bright blue and red ones because not only do they not look 'right' but they do...

In a perfect world there'd be no humans, but as this is not a perfect world we just have to learn to live with nature. If you don't want mice in your compost bin, just bang it with a stick a few times as you go past, the mice will move on. Live and let live

Yep, I have a little seemannii, which has not flowered yet. There also others even rarer, but tender. Very tender. I saw a complete darling called Hydrangea lobbii last year, more scandent than climbing actually. I wanted one, but it was not for sale, I was tempted to steal my way in the...

Erm, I can't see any following?

:D :D :D

Laurel contains a bit of cyanide, but as far as I know it won't leach out in to the surroundings, and it will gradually decompose. So I would just go ahead and use the wood. The leaves if you have any, can be put in the compost heap. They are best shredded first otherwise they are slow to decompose

If they are the perennial Papaver x hybridus then no they do not repeat flower. We cut ours down to the ground once they have finished flowering and let other things overgrow them to fill the gap. Sometimes they do produce smaller flowers very late on in the season.

Thanks guys! I have passed the info along. Dave, I brought some of that Spanish Moss back from Florida last October. I have it hanging up in our Wintergarten on one of these accordian-type trellises, tacked to the roof beams. So far, it seems to be doing OK.

Pleased to say that my friends Vitacelli Polish Spirit is now budding up!

Thank you for all the replies. I will do as you suggest and not worry to much about their floppyness! I have more pots than I thought I would, so if some of them don't like their final position, it won't be the end of the world. I have hundreds of Aquilegias everywhere, and although I like them...

i would go along with Yucca, there are a lot of variegated Cordylines but as far as I know not with pink in the leaf yet, (plant breeders may change that).

Looks great borrowers, nice and tidy, minimal maintenance for you, some colour and interest also.And somewhere for the doggie to run round too !Steve...

Bit like me then.:D
