Good on you Sandra a nic edeck for your lovely planters and for you to sit with a nice cuppy or even a glass of wine.Shame we were not so close we would have helped you to put it together.My husband so enjoyed putting our decks together.Enjoy dreaming of how it could be.

Thanks KF and Pro gard I'll go for the �£35 target price - and view the soil before ordering. Kandyfloss - I think if I put 2 tonnes of soil in my car it would lift the front wheels :Dcheers

Received my plants yesterday from Boxtrees Nursery -in great condition. I am well impressed - speedy delivery and well packed. Cant fault them and you dont pay postage!www.cottage-garden-plants.co.uk.

WHY NOT PUT TRELLIS INFRONT OF SHED AND GROW YOUR PLANTS UP THAT SAVES A LOT OF WORK

Thank you John. Daisy I will reiterate. your Montana will not be on the wall this time next year. And if you can climb a ladder to tie string, you can climb a ladder to tie wire.

Thank you for these instructions. I don't have any silver sand (had to google it to find out what it was!) but I hardly need an excuse to go to the garden centre, so I'll get some tomorrow.They had 2.5 days in luke-warm water - I knew I needed to put them in for at least 48 hours.I have...

When I work out how to get photo's from my camera to my computer I will post some! I have 3 conifers covering the back fence, they have been hacked (not by me) and the debris is tossed at the bottom of the garden along with bits of concrete and sections of brick wall, presumably from when next...

:Dcheers

hi Muttleykins welcome to GC, looks like John has helped you with your problem,that didnt take long

Bashy, they seem to be growing a quite a rate, I assume we are talking about the tuberous kind here, can you perhaps put them somewhere cooler in good light but frost free, for a few weeks.

I have seen in our local Wilkos store some of these Trees for just �£5 each they are in very good condition about 5ft in Height has anyone got one of these

cheers coub just potted some stocks up last night mate thanks again

Hi wiseoldowl it is against a 6ft fence on one side and the back of the house on another,all i have added is a general purpose plant food before christmas,i will try to get a picture.Thanks a lot

A truly stunning display Whis4ey but then your garden never fails to amaze me.Hel.xxx.

If you do id paint it green, looks hideuse natural IMO

Yep , ok to split provided there's shoots on each part.I just make a clean cut then dust the cut edge with Flowers of Sulphur,i started off with just a few & now have loads.

I think the word for the germination of passion flower seed is erratic, some seeds come up quick others take a time. I find that fresh seed taken from a fruit germinates faster than the really dry stuff you can buy. I'd put all the seed in warm water and leave to soak for a day and then sow at...

Better a bird than a rat, I bet he's nice and cosy in there. :D

Thanks. I'm not sure about cutting it back too hard though as it says in the article that it can slow down the flowering. I might leave the Holly tree alone and plant the honeysuckle in the hedgerow and just leave it alone, trimming out the dead wood every year or so. That way the mature stems...

We don't have a Wilkinsons in Wigan yet - it is planned to open in the new centre but god knows when. I'll check out B and Q this weekend - thanks Daisy.
