General Gardening Discussion

Hi, chobart, I thought we spoke about this before?I had this nightmare with P caerulea where it took over everywhere here and I was digging it up from here, there and everwhere ... still do several years later! :eek:And an even more :eek: because earlier I told new American digital...

Hi leahbe. The plant you have is something call Photinia with the variety being Red Robin. Is the plant in a windy or cold or hot and sunny spot? Does it have any aphids on it? What is the soil like? what is it fed with? Any of these things could be the cause of the problem. Please let me...

Hi Boro Boy. I would suggest you plant them up with alpines, most of them are spreading and evergreen but, most importantly, are capable with putting up with some neglect. David.

welcome 5lbcod. Go to your local garden centre and get a box of Evergreen weed and Feed. Use as directed and your problem should soon be solved. After a few weeks reseed any bald patches. David.

Oh just a thought - hope this was not an "April fool" cos I just inverted the ph in phalus today!

It's perfectly ok to do the aerating of your lawn in spring, and it recovers faster from scarifying then too - but if you're re-seeding, you do need water if the rain doesn't oblige!

Saturday the 19th ..for a week.Staying in Langton Herring.

Well I have just weedkillered one, so I had to cut it down to ground level, It will return, a bit later than usual thats all.

I'm sure my dad wouldn't say no to some Miscanthus ....My Peony in full flower yesterday :-

No probs, good fences make good neighbours. :D Boundaries are a nightmare sometimes.

*** I know I said I would post these last week BM.. Still better late than never...!! This is my tree at various stages of flower, including the frost damage....So starting in Feb, these were the early buds.. I think the colours vary so much because I have taken allot of them looking...

Looking back at your picture, I now notice the unopened brushes! I should know better by now than to contradict you especially as it's in your garden!

Wonderful pictures, and wonderful view - sounds like your really happy there.

hey i know this is an old thread but was wondereing if frogesque, you could possible email that vetative growth of duck weed thing my friend would be well interested and has not got a computer, i could then mail it to her!! many thanks

I planted two C. citrinus (bushes) last year in two very different gardens and they have both come through the winter with no problems. Admittedly the winter has been on the milds side but I'm still pleasantly surprised.

I love the tulips, but the daffs are a bit "washed out" for me. I have a garden full of white daffodils and I hate them - however they do sometimes look nice on the west side of the garden in the evening.

Hi Kf. No My Feathers are just Itchy sometimes, I should be allright But i will have to watch my big eyes though. :D
