Defenitely worth a bit of a haggle, builders merchants lol, even with a trade account theres still scope to negotiate on the monstorusly high prices at Travis perkins!!!!I refuse to use B and Q anything that TP dont do or are really expensive for i use screwfix.

Yeah - they look good. Hanging baskets it will have to be.Thanks everyone, for helping me out with this.L.

Thankyou kindly, everyone.I havn`t been online for a few days as i`ve switched thingybobs so have been awaiting new modem. Since last post they`ve come on a bit so i`m ever so pleased.

hi bigbaddad i too have moved last november into a new property and despite my oh and i being pensioners, and my oh disabled, i have loved planning and working in my garden. Our garden is a fraction of the size of yours but words cannot describe the pleasure and satisfaction you get as you...

Yes, its a mountain or mama ash also known as a Rowan tree, they tend not to grow as big as the rest of their family. Lovely berries on it during winter for the birds. The lillies are lovely too by the way.

:( We are very sorry to advise we have now exhausted our supplies of the following products and so have not included them when processing the order: Silene Starburst 72+12 FreeWe apologise for any inconvenience or disappointment this may cause. :DProbably a good job anyway, was starting to...

just sown my cornflowers straight into the ground last weekend. Cross with myself as I should have done it a month ago but I guess it just means I'll get a later display.

Hi Celia, thank you very much for your reply. on closer inspection there was quite a lot of infected brances - I have cut most out. From what I have read it was quite dense with a lot of new growth (serves me right for feeding it - never bothered before) so I think this is the cause. I have...

I bought a very small acer mikawa yatsabusa (about 4 ins high) about 3 years ago. I had it in a pot for 2 years & it didnt grow very well, so last year I transferred into the garden, in a well sheltered shady spot, but it just put on a few leaves & then shed them early. It seems to be doing the...

I would put up the other greenhouse next to the one already there. Presumably you have no other space available for veg? You can still use the greenhouse cold for veg and if necessary put shading on it if it gets too warm in there. Then you have space to work in the winter without being...

Thanks Flinty

The first photo I put on (white and purple) is Adelaide Addison which is a short plant and the flowers look upwards. Can't remember what the second one is. When I get a chance I shall take photos of some of the others. Mrs shiney says that we also have some varieties that bloom later. The...
