General Gardening Discussion

I should have mentioned that a lot of the time the plant is in my kitchen by the window and is put outside when it's a warmish day, it will stay outside if we have a half decent summer. The Cornish website is ---Daturas to go. Cheer T Digger.

Found another source on my web-travels:

I use 1part coir fibre to 4 parts JI no 1 to 2 parts river sand. [sharpe sand which tals to you when you rub it in your hands unlike builders sand that stays in a ball when wet.] Brush it into the holes or use the back of a rake.All fomulea work but the aim is to replace the cores or fill...

I dont like to use granules but preffer a liquid lawn fertilizer Lawn magic. Many of the pelleted feeds place nitrates in th eleaves so the lawn greens up and looks nice but there is a risk that after application if it doesnt rain, the lawn can scortch as the pellets rest on the leaves and heat...

Thank you for your interesting replys,bought them mail order,will show a picture when,and if they flower

Hello, does anyone know of a nice scented shrub or plants to go in a West facing garden please

Wow, they are weird looking. Why would you train a chrysanthemums to look like a rock, not enough rocks?

That was very nice of him to invite you in. Must have been great to have a private tour.

well i had to replace them today as they bit the dust..bought two more but this years came with instructions (bring inside for the winter)...if they had told me that last year i would be 25 squid better off

My beschorneria yuccoides is also flowering for the first time Agaveman. Maybe it's something about Gloucestershire that brings out the best in them eh? I planted it about 5 years ago and this is the first time it's flowered. I'm getting lots of enquiries about it as it's planted in my front...

Walnut that is clever. I knew that it needed the right chemicals in the pollen to open the stigma, but 'tailgating' by unwelcome pollen is very smart.Also I didn't know that grafting could produce a chimera. I can see people getting very involved in both aspects. Many thanks.

I am sorry I think I have put this thread in the wrong place - better go transfer it to where it should be.

No info on Salvias, but the Clematis green flower thing is well documented in Chrisopher Lloyds books amongst others. There is a Virus which has a similar effect, but then the flower is badly distorted as well and is obviously sick!

Is it possible that they don't like chalky soil? My friends live near Portsmouth and they have great difficulty in growing them.

Probably just a couple that had not been pollinated. A truss is as your say a group of yellow flowers on your tomato plants. Botanically a compact cluster of flowers at the end of a stalk. Twice a day for maturing tomato plants is not excessive. Regarding quantity, that can only come by...
