Hi there...Reckon you might have to prime the pump first. Remove the lid ,pour in water and..pump!

There have been so many threads on this ..... !! I suggest you do a search and see all the topping advice that has been given.However, never being able to resist being a know-it-all!, my special favourite is "Silent Roar" which is pellets soaked with lion's urine! You can just imagine the...

meowwwwww

Primulas such as polyanthus should not need frost action to germinate. But you do need good fresh seed to germinate. I have had similar results with T and M. Meconopsis seed (somebody bought it for me). I can get Meconopsis sprouting like cress with my own seed but from that packet i got 5...

best way to stop weed growing in past your hedge is to plant lawn next to it then just mow over weeds.

gorgeous indeed - what a gem.

Thanks for the advice, its outside but we have fairly mild winters on the Island, but i'll leave well alone till spring.
