Ground level! Will do, thanks again.

We have several of these in our garden. We call them the Irish hanging baskets :D :D Nik

ok thank you both for the info. Will start them as soon as i get back then

My house backs on to it too! Redding - new-build - loads of it around!

Hi all,The last set came in a bit late for my visit! I did make it to Buckingham Nurseries and realsied that this was somewhere I currently have a mail order with ! D'Oh! Could have saved myself the postage! Ah well, got a gorgeous rhododedron (deep green and bright yellow foliage, purple...

great! well I will try and remember to look out for them later in the year and have a go and see what happens. I like free things

that's an excellent book - definitely worth while. If you're seriously intersted, it might be worth while joining a gardeners book club, as that's one of the usual books on offer which makes it much more affordable. Details are in most of the gardening mags, often on the back page, or one of...

The only thing I have of value in my shed is a lawnmower- and even that's doubtful! may have a sneaky look in my dad's shed and see what he's got though!
