I'll go with feverfew.

the property prices are extortioneta 2 bed bungalow in borrowdale went for �£500 000a lot of the houses go to peole not living in the lake district who either live in them or rent them out as holiday cottages. My mum runs a business which manages them and provides a caretaker.

YAY! Great quiz Roders!

Oh! that is so beautiful I just know mine is not going to look like that. Am going to take a photo of mine and try to work out how to put it on this thread so you can see how sort of sad it looks compared to that. I did only plant it last year in a large pot so I guess I cannot expect too...

G G, I think you mean Cheshunt compound.

Maggzy - I don't grow any veg, so really don't know the answer. However my experience with other things, is that you can grow anything in a pot, even huge trees.To my mind you want the biggest pot possible, plants in smaller pots never grow as large even if they are not obviously pot bound....

That sounds possible Walnut but the plants get the normal light in the greenhouse for the same duration as those under cloches. Their only advantage is envirolight for about 4 hrs per day after dark.

The obelisk is a bamboo one , wigwam shaped ( or teepeee shaped to be precise !)and is about 1m tall in a 600mm planter. I grew sweetpeas in it last year , but I planted to many - hence this thread. It became top heavy and suffered if we had any wind. I am hoping to get the plant and quantitiy...

I'll look forward in seeing your new project progress into something beautiful Kath.Hel.xxx.

hi DG welcome to GC hope you enjoy

Musella Lasiocarpa,musa basjoo, musa sikkimensis are all considered to be root hardy they will die back to the ground in winter and regrow (hopefully) in spring, the lasiocarpa is a dwarf variety growing only 4ft tall it's not a true bannana.

Hi GG, and welcome. Yes moss is not the same as damping off. Moss appears in compost that has been around a long time and is too wet. It grows from moss spores that are probably around everywhere, but it thrives in damp places. Cheshunt compound won't have any effect on that. Moss by itself is...

Id sink rail sleapers in

Dave, the browning on the leaves, and the holing look to me like scorch. The bare stems, however, look quite different, any chance of a close up photo?

Rightyo, i went to B&Q today (twice in fact), ended up getting proper garden sharp sand, big bag of organic matter and a bag of manure. Spread it all out today, but its still a bit wet. Tomorrow i'll probably start forking it in and digging some holes to put newspaper and bags of leaves i have...

Slight change of tack, but it is clematis. My local Morrison's is selling off (end of line) clematis and honeysuckle at 89p. Not a lot of choice here but I bought a ville lyon and a honeysuckle for my new picnic area for �£1.78. Just thought you may like to check at your branch.

Clematis starting to grow well on Arch now in bud.

Roundup followed by Casron G. I think that the bed was very thick with grass roots though. Infact if you dug down you just got a lump of root instead of soil.

i have been really excited over these past few days,all my seeds seem to be doing really well,i,ve potted on my allysum and petunias but the stems on these where so fragile i hope i havent damaged them, but they are still standing upright, my cosmos and asters look good every thing was going...

Something I'm going to have a go at this summer Woo..... finger's crossed I'll have a good crop as I'm fed up with the supermarket stuff! :eek: Hel.xxx.
