General Gardening Discussion

and again !

Thanks mate.As you can see iv planted it over the other side of the stream so its got as much room as it likes it can go as mad as it wants.

Strongy, I liked the first answers best.Mine are still in the original 12 cm pot, all 7 of them, and between 12 - 18 cm tall. I was seriously considering feeding mine cheese and pickle sandwiches too and asking my cousin davris to send me some English water over. However, now you have...

I can now answer my own question, the cornus is Dogwood

Hi Nikita,Walnut i can vouch for that.Clematis Montana will grow VERY quickly, mine are monsters (pretty but large), they are very heavy but not sure if chain link fence will be the easiest to grow it up/over. If you go for Honeysuckle have a look at Himalayan Honeysuckle. It is quite...

It might be me Kathy, Semperviviums growing on corragated asbestos?

Told them David!!!! It's a staffie

Thanks everyone for your help! At the moment we have 3 beautiful flowers open at the same time which is a record, and about 30 buds waiting to come out. I think the plant is ok, it's growing voraciously and looking very healthy, I just think as it's a brand new plant it may just need to settle...

After today when i "GLOWED"(us ladies do'nt sweat),I think i will garden in the nuddie. Not a pretty sight but what the heck!!!!!!!! Now i need a few of these

Pete, nice display, my plant is new this year, it was probably just under 1 ft tall, now its about 3ft, so hopefully should be ok this winter.

Hi Gem and Al, sorry we missed you. At this time of the year any grape vine can be pruned safely as long as you dont cut into old wood, (last years growth) and of course your not worried about getting any grapes. As far as I know, Brandt is more of an ornamental, so if its too big, cut it...

If you know somebody with a landy and chains, that would shift them - I've seen it done, and it's very effective - and quick! :D

That is exactly the same looking kernel as the corn which is grown round here as animal feed. It is ground up for use and is no good for cooking.

Thanks for the info strongy, I shall go off & have a browse in a minute... Ho hum, probably have to spend some more money..!! :rolleyes: :DI think I shall keep them in the greenhouse all the time, as I did this hibiscus as it is so worth it.. Hmm, bitten & smitten I think...!!! ...

Madc it`s not the gym you`d need it`s a physiotherapist. Decking would be an easier option and you could tailor it to the family needs, ie, sitting area, barbecue or viewing area.Properly fenced off it could even become a play area for the children. David.

Thanks guys for the advice.all the best...daz

And a good one it is kedi.

Well I don't know what type mine were but they certainly weren't weeds! they had enormous dense dusky pink flowers, they were fab!

Great pics Kathy, looked like a fun day out, thanks for sharing.

:D
