General Gardening Discussion

Hi, I would like something to compliment it. Do I prune it /

Or how about BBQ Thyme

Exactly!

Don't prune your Pieris, it doesn't need it.

Dear me, that's a bit discouraging. I thought it was me too. I guess it'd be good to collect your own seed, where possible, or do a seed swap with other gardeners?

Seems like a long time since we had a really cold, snowy winter - here in the South anyway. I haven't seen a prediction for this coming winter but then they can't predict accurately for the next 5 days!!!

Ola CactusLady ... and welcome from one Lady to another.Depends on where you are in Spain ... it takes us 13 hours non-stop driving from here to Santander. However, if you're somewhere on the Med ... I'm 1.5 hours from the border.I've been gardening here for ten years so am well...

Hi plotty, you are doing a great job, like Paula I do a lot of veg growing in containers. Buzzing around!

PeterS, thanks for the picture It looks quite similar in stature to a bamboo - not how I imagined it to look.JarBax, good luck with your ginger, we'll have to compare our progress

Make sure you have the space or youll be forever pruning it, however for masking a shed it would be ideal

... just make sure they don't have foot and mouth or blue tongue disease ... :eek: :eek:Have my pork with crackling ready for tomorrow ...

looks like Agave Americana Marginata in the first pic, in the darkened pic it looks more like Variegata!Nice plants.www.palmsnexotics.zoomshare.comPaul M Murray

Hmm, yes, I was thinking now would be good too. The weather's just turned now so that I don't want to be outside though-I may have to summon assistance :D

I love all the seasons, but spring and autumn are my favourites, and anytime after or during rain (call me crazy :D ).I just strole along and watch my four legged friends enjoying the new smells and sights, aaaaaaah the perfect day :D

Laurie,Firstly hello :DSecondly, you had more luck with yours than i had with mine, one started to bloom and the rest just couldn't be asked :(

elf, very important - don't add the nettles and your own urine at the same time :eek: :eek: ouch :D

I don't think I'd be drawn to a gardening book that didn't have any pictures. One likes to see what the results might be, after all.
