Carol, I would think that normal mowing of the lawn would kill them eventually. If not try one of those feed and weed lawn fertilizers you can get, but dont use it if the weathers dry, or you could water it well in, if you dont have a hosepipe ban that is.

LOL Steve!!!! :DNo good then? Lol, lol!

That sounds most logical, Mr Spock! Best of luck with it! :D

:D Maybe we can both put this down to "an experiance" LOL :D :D The jasmin & firethorn sound lovely though. :D :D

I've never been too fussy about my penstmons.When they're done flowering and the leaves are going off, I just ruthlessly strip them all back to base. (Though I sometimes don't get around to doing that until spring!! )But whatever I do, they always seem to come back with vigour.

Hi taney,welcome to the garden. Sounds like you have allot of work to do there, if you are not keen,or don't have the time, if you look in your local pages (tel book) there should be a section with, gardeners,garden design people, or garden maintenance, if you contact a couple of them,...

Hello again, I am thinking of growing some grasses from seed, can anyone give me any advice or tips?

I know the ones you mean

Should be fine - just give it time.

It self seeds around here, or the birds do it.

Alan, sods law means that the plants in your nice decorative baskets/pouches, that your neighbours are supposed to look on in envy will always be the ones that will get eaten by caterpillars, covered in blackfly, suffer from mildew etc etc :rolleyes: Time to try something else in the pouches?

Thanks Ladybird

Hi Use Grazon 90 if you can get it. You may have to get some off a farmer friend but it the killer for nettles, much better than Roundup
