General Gardening Discussion

Thankyou. My first question and just realised it is in the "edible" section-whoops! Anyway, I will give the tom feed a go.

I like my garland super 7 as I have 7 diffrent pots so can grow different things in the same propogator and control them all individually

Steve. Just to let you know that all three types you sent have a least 5 germinated. The Montana have germinated profusely. :D

Hi Tigerlilly. You have some interesting things there. I would be very interested in the Salvia - I don't know that one. I am currently growing quite a few different Salvia varieties - its become a Salvia year for me. I have sent you a PM.

Will it be O.K even if frost and snow is forecast ? I have my seed all ready to put on but looking at the weather they say we are going to have over the next few days I'm not sure what to do. :confused:

Hi Bashy about 8-10mm i'll be looking at April some are hardier than others,always be prepared to cover things up if late frosts are threatend I just throw some fleece over things.

Yes Pete it is, thanks very much!Wrenhere

Yup, I had a dwarf peach tree in a pot. In the years when I remembered to water it properly it produced masses of small (size of apricots) but UNBELIEVABLY DELICIOUS peaches! totally different to shop-bought ones.The only real faff with them is avoiding a fungal nasty called "peach leaf curl"...

Anyone want to buy 50,000 teazles? I send you one and in 5 years you have 50,000. It's a close relative. :D

yes thanks Pete you can spend many a long hour there and its so close by

that looks fantastic guess I had better get down the garden centre

they are definitely beautiful flowers, and I will keep on trying sowing them, in spite of not having had any success in the past

But as I have an excess of Nitrogen according to the test will this not just increase the inbalance further ? I seem to be ok on the Nitrogen front. I'm also wary of giving onions too much nitrogen as you know it tends to give them thick necks which are no good for showing. I think I'll stick to...

Cheers oktarine - nice site and good info on there. You're well ahead of me with your sowing...

I look forward to seeing your pics. What can you do with mulberries - eat them raw or...?

Thanks for the tip about aconitums lazy gardener - I will sort out some slug defences round them. My mum grows them and they are gorgeous - but I have a weakness for blue flowers. Hope yours reappear soon!

Just hedge trim the sides lightly this year then lay it next winter.

Id use it to multch the base of the hedge and around shrubs.BTW if Id been doing the job Id of sudgested laying rather than just topping it as this creates a denser hedge.

Sandra I know what you mean Bob treated me to rock lights as well as bright spot lights last year and 'they' have started to get enough charge in them these last few weeks to shine up as it gets dark.Hel.xxx.

Scotkat I agree with Peter get hubbie to have a go or even make one yourself it's really easy and you could make them a darn site better not to mention stronger than the ones that cost �£30 plus!Pickle them like crazy and they will last for years. Hel.xxx.
