Other Plants

Hi Monsclara, I hope you don't mind me saying that you're perhaps being a bit hasty in expecting a change in the Clematis so quickly. It might take more than a month for the plant to recover and make use of the nutrients and water.......not a few days. Clematis, depending on the variety,...

I have only two Geraniums in my garden at the moment GG as I'm limited for space (still under development) and I don't know the names of either. As time progresses I will have more no doubt.

If they are the native ones, they are biennial (although they have been known to break the rules), so almost certainly its game over now for your ones. However, they produce a lot of seeds, and if you leave them to shed their seed naturally, some will come back. Give them a hand by ensuring that...

Hiya Sally,you should just be able to pull the Galls off...no need for cuttingif you've no rain water just get a can of tap water and leave it to stand for 24hrs....that will be fine..also you could give it a feed with some eric feed for a boost

If you can find petunias for sale (should still be able to), then I'd say go for it. They're good right up til at least the end of summer and possibly right through autumn in my experience.

Oh goody a buck up chat..... The neighbours won't think I'm mad at all! Worth ago thanks jenny

More of the same, I hope.

Yeah, I chop them right off but always leave one or two seed heads to develop just in case they take offence and don't reappear - they always have, though they seem to move around a bit. They'll produce a small and much tidier clump of foliage, should look OK then.

I've got plenty in my garden that I grew from seed. Varieties are more limited, and it takes a bit longer to get a mature clump, than buying a plant in a decent sized container ... but other than that I've found it a cheap way of growing plants.

Piccies? You may have overwatered or there may have been vine weevils in the original pots which are munching the roots...

I will if they make it. Rusty

That is a lovely plant. Mine was just repotted today as it has several offshoots needing somewhere to "land". Mine is still a baby though. I do love the way they cluster. Pretty flowers too.

That's another from me too! Sangria looks wonderful

I agree with Armandii - I think you have to go for it - such a shame after all that it went through during the bad weather.

There you go - it's grateful! You can give it the chop when it finishes flowering if you like. It'll carry on despite the rust, don't think anybody tries to cure it.

Or maybe they're just lazy. The pelargoniums, not the public.

I have around 9 Paeonias in the borders and I must admit that one would make a nice addition!!

I'm not sure Gaz but I don't see why not. I've grown white ones for the first time this year.

Thanks Mowgley and Spruce I'll get some Tutti Frutti seed when I get back from holiday. It will feel strange sowing seeds in July ....
