well alot of mowing then the last job of the day i Made the best of a bad hedge only took 2 hours :D

Ta strongy. told hubby, he asked how much they were. He was the one that told me they were £2 each! lol. Can't wait to get them now, will give some much needed & unusual colour. cheers

right at the moment, the moss in our lawn is turning brown and I've been busy raking up as much of it as I can. I have not applied any weed and feed but am not complaining if it choses to die off by itself.

My packet of phostrogen is NPK = 14-10-27, which is quite a lot of Nitrogen, but also quite a lot of P and K too ... I think I would go for something that was pretty much all Nitrogen.Personally I wouldn't bother with a weed-and-feed product, like Evergreen complete, 'coz you've just pulled...

"I adore Yew hedges, they take age"I don't think they take a long time - unless you want a tall hedge. For something a few feet high I don't think it will take too long, and it won't grow so fast that it will need cutting all the time!

Supposed to... total assortment.... I am having this problem with nasturtiums this year.... grrrrrrr.Still no flowers from my sp. In Italy it was so hot in summer that they were mummified before they could bloom, I hoped to finally see a sp bloom now (I NEVER HAVE!!) but nope, they are just...

:D:D

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

I like real ones, but there are just some places in the house where it is too dark for even ivy to grow, so I have good artificial ones to add a bit of "life". Lovely arrangement, Peter.

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.
