So true.

Hmmm, hebes might be an idea, although they'd have to be the small ones as the areas aren't that big. I like the berries idea too, thanks.

I wouldn't change my bin for composting. You get all the rubbish moved away within a few days. No smelly fires No unsitely bags of rubbish left about your garden for months on end. Everything is nice and tidy, just as I like it to look. All the stuff thats taken away gets composted down and...

We transplanted most of our snowdrops (thousands) last year because of a building project and, thankfully, they are now beginning to just show white tips. Some of our early snowdrops that weren't transplanted are in full flower and the person who came in to feed the birds whilst we were away...

Its well worth a go Ethansmum. It has great big flower heads four to six iches across, that you can see in the icon. These are made up of a large number of smaller flowers. It also has spines, but that's not a problem.Just to clarify - reading my last post. Christopher Lloyd said don't sow...

Wonderful idea indeed Linlin I'm pretty sure in next to no time at all those sweetpeas will cover you greenhouse! :D Are you going to plant some highly fragrant sweetpeas? Helen.xxx.

That`s what it did before it fell over, Pete. :D

I use it very regularly and just tell my customers to keep pets off till its dry.I use a half tea cup in 10 litres of water and spray from a knapsack sprayer.

Celia I find Newquay garden centre pretty good. And if I can ever move to Cornwall, I`ve a standing job offer at Carnon Downs.

I use Jersey Direct for some plugs very good quality and and good price.And grow from seed and use my own local nursery for rest.We have good local nursery's no need to use BQ.

Just wondered if anyone has been taking an interest in what is going on down at Hadspen? Website www.thehadspenparabola.com gives details. For anyone who visited the garden when it was run by Nori and Sandra Pope it will be interesting!

Ive got a whopping long shopping list Thank you for all the suggestions, I just wish I could get out in the garden and start!

Your welcome.

Unusual seeds aren't they. :D Wait until the pod is brown and dry, then if nesessary bring indoors and it will open in 24 hours over gentle heat.
