Hi folks. As already stated a bit pricey, but a nice collection, good for ideas. Cheers...freddy.

Hi folks, thanks for all your replies. For some reason I thought maybe they were only good for one year, happy days :thumb:

This weekend I trimmed ny Laurel hedge, I checked the dimensions and it was 15 foot long and 12 foot high; I lopped 3 foot off the top and took the trimmer down the front. It took me under 4 hours. It was fortunate I had space left over in a skip I was using for building works otherwise it...

Jamista welcome to the forum. For privacy along the back of the border bed you could plant a hedge of laurel this keeps it's leaves all year round so your privacy is covered throughout the year too. Flowering shrubs there is a nice range to choose from; Joseph's Coat (Spirarea Shirobana,...

Hi peatfree, ive sown some zinnia, this year for the first time. Ive got some in my tiny plastic makeshift green house, and some out side in the ground, to see which do best. Those in the greenhouse sprouted in 3 days, so maybe it wont be to late to set some more off. Good luck! 02:D

They'd probably like me on toast wouldn't they???
