General Gardening Discussion

Apologies for resurrecting this thread, but I was really curious to find out whether your Cordyline survived Windy,and what management you came up with for it. Did you cut it down at the base and did this prompt new plants to shoot?Also, it was an interesting photo you took of your garden -...

I have just received a sample and it's really simple but very clever and looks good.It even comes in four colours.

Good luck Borrowers!I save all my packets, never actually realised I might need them till now!

Cheers I'l invest that �£30 on something nice for my front border then.

Those are just beautiful, shiney, and look quite old as well.I noticed this morning that my C viminalis is starting to open ...... and the C 'Flaming Fire' is really going into fire mode (no brushes just coloured leaves several times a year) ...

I have used Spaldings several times. I have never had a problem with them. I have had bulbs which have all been very good & plants & all have been OK, but I usually like to go & choose my plants from local garden centre..

I vote Carol.

Hence my 6 weeks?No reason why I can't start my veggies off in the greenhouse though?

Thank you again, Lavender.Hello, long lost friend Mona Lisa ... I hope you are well and happy in the South of France. Thank you also for your contribution to this what I think is an unusal fruit.We both love raspberries and it just seemed different. It's settling in well but we have...

Ground cover stuff would be good, but I have a lot of perennials that die back in winter that I really like. If I fill the borders with evergreen ground cover, they'll have no space when they do come back. [ 24. March 2008, 03:22 PM: Message edited by: daisybelle ]
