Jasmine nudifoliumwhat aspect? makes a big difference to what you can plant.

AAhhhhh!!!!!we spend all the time trying to get rid of it from the stream.

Hi fellow gardenersI have four young helleborus, all different and in pots I re-potted them, now three are doing well and the other has one leaf which is going brown :eek: (it only consists of one leaf actually!)Any ideas?Also when should these be planted out Autumn perhaps?Grateful...

OK - I've bought my iodine (for tadpoles) so how much do I put in? Any ideas? The pond is about 6footx4foot and about 3foot at the deepest.

Got my dragon wing, huge plants they were selling off at local nursery and they look very good in situe - descrete, but sculptural - off for some more tomorrow whilst Mr Waco still away!As to Luxurians - just got to have it - SPECTACULAR!

Does anyone know how much iodine you would need to add to how much water to metamorhosise the frogs?. I would just leave them.

Well I have read so much C Lloyd at the moment I feel I have swallowed his books, but he thinks they are so sculptural he grows them in his garden. He also describes vividly his mother cooking it once - which was not a repeatable experience apparently!

I suspect they may need a lot of heat - even florist said they did not last long.

:D No BM. No cat scratches, that is how Birch bark often goes. All healthy & normal apparently. I had the tree checked when I saw it the first time... :rolleyes: Now the tree is 30 something & still growing well..!! :D

I have also recently bought bamboo but a different one to you. I bought if from a specialist nursery and they told me to feed it with a lawn feed (not weed n feed) once a month in the growing season and to put it in a pot at least 18 " square.

I'm not at all surprised. :D Did you know there is a red one too? :eek: :eek:

Thanks Rosa......When do you feed it??

Unfortunatley it now looks like this :(Can't see it through the jungle downstairs but upstairs you can since they lopped the cherries (contentious ownership!) :rolleyes:

If I win the lottery I will put it on my list. Looks like a nice present the 3 litre one if you are feeling generous.I have corrected the shop link as I think your full stop got incorporated into the address and spoilt the linkhttp://www.wollemipine.co.uk/acatalog/Wollemi_Pine.html

Know what you mean, Rich (Scott Mackenzie and all that)! As mine was cut back to nearly nothing before it bloomed, I'm lucky on that score ... not straggly at all. The problem I've got is that because it's in the sun till early afternoon the brachts / blooms have faded so may need to move...

Nice story, and with any luck your daughter will not find thunder frightening. My parents told us the same - we used to sit on the front door step counting between the ligntening and thunder, to see how far away the storm was. Fantasia helped the illusion too when it was released.

Thanks for the advice, i will hope for a windy day to blow the flowerheads off!

Thanks Liz and sparkle

Thank you Wildflower for your concern but we don't eat too much of it, I keep it mainly because I love to watch the bees on it and also we live on a quiet lane so not much traffic. I'll still leave the majority of it at the back of the house, it's just that it's not the prettiest of plants now...

The reason we can't shop around for water is whilst it has been a suggestion for years there is no water "national grid" style syetem as it would be too expensive.It does not matter that the system would alleviate the water shortages. Once again the companys are not bothered with any thing...
