General Gardening Discussion

"climbing fuchsia" Really disappointing - though as a fuchsia grower I should not have surprised. Fuchsia's don't twine or self cling, so the only other way for it to climb is to have strong sturdy shoots that can get into companion planting. But I found the growth the first year, weak and...

No, Tweaky, but that would do the job.:thumb:

It should be ok, perhaps bind some insulation tape over the lost bark area.

What a difference biker! Looks great - love your wall too. look forward to more pictures soon!

John,please explain why I should delete my post.You are the one who has blackened the name of your church not me.Freedom of speech and all that:thumb: Also can you let me into the secret as to how you manage to type out all that information which I find too much for my blonde brain,without...

Probably LOL - my memory is going I saw the water garden section, had just mended the water feature for the nth time and thought I'd share the piccies.Grace is full of mischief - I won't be able to have many flowers this year because she pulls the heads off :rolleyes:Just ignore me and...

Thankyou for the advice, i don't think it has put on any new growth since last year, maybe the cold has got it or the soil is too dry.

Me to same as Paul and so like to see even just the foilage without flowers .I only ever take the dead foliage off.

I have had some Zantedeschia (should be the plant you mean if it comes in so many colours) for several years now. Idon't try to have them blooming all the time though. They are in 30 cm pots, and I have divided them, they increase a lot, and the tubers grow huge. I have them outside in summer...

My new camera arrived today so i managed to get these pix:D

Basically plant food supplements nutrients naturally found in the soil but there are many types of plant food, do you need to discuss artificial fertilizer? like Plantsman said NPK or do you also need to talk about organic fertilizer's such as growing green crops or legume type plants (peas...

Thanks again ive put it back in the shade and ill see how it gets on.the flowers are really beautiful as well.

Really like it as it's just my thing I managed to convince my hubby to start a curvy monster hedge hoping to get a topiary Loch Ness Monster hedge like the Charnwood Hotel just up the road in Blyth near Worksop but sadly Bob was none too keen and the curves went this year. The Charnwood's...

You could also try asking around to see if anyone you know has one then borrow it i mean its supposed to last 5 years so its not something u use alot is it lol

Is that a regal pelagonium ScotKat, its a beautiful colour. a few years ago, a lady customer who was in her ninties, after having a gardening chat told me of this lovely R P she had and said she would bring me in a cutting, and true to her word she did. A pieice with a bit of root on it. I...
