Propagation This Month

Just remember, exotic stuff needs love I keep telling myself that and then ignore the wise man inside myself

Never apologise for your own tastes!!!

See, that's what's great about being on here. Every single seed packet says to pot on 'when they're big enough to handle'. None ever mention when the true leaves arrive (or what they are) or that what might be ok for me to handle with small nimble fingers might not be ok for someone else, or as...

To give a proper answer though we need to know what they are, how advanced they are and what size pots are they in?Photos would be good too

Oh, do come on, longk!!!,.........this me and gardening you're talking about

I know this is a popular method, but it has never worked for me. I find that using filter paper / kitchen towel I can never get the air / moisture balance correct. Its far too easy to have too much water / not enough air. Personally I much prefer to use a couple of teaspoons of damp vermiculite...

I use Evergreen / verdone every April on my lawns . Its liquid and you apply by watering can . If you do it in the evening when the little un is in bed , it will be fully absorbed into the lawn in a few hours . Read the H and S warnings though to be sure.

Thank you, Lolimac and Pamsdish @Lolimac,Cuttings are Forsythia,Viburnum tinus And a Choisya, the Choisya got a lot of wind damage and the root ball is bad so i got so cutting a few weeks back just in case it may died ie: 10 per pot, so if i know it will be about, say 10 weeks for them to put...

It's a bit crowded in my grow box....

Internet revolution???? Most French websites showcase their products and that's your lot. No prices, no order forms, sometimes a discreet section on nearest stockists if you're lucky. Some of the bigger sites are into delivery to a nearby grocery, but it still costs the earth. Colossal NI...

Not these is it?

Well, the vermiculite was delivered today; stopping compost compaction is one of the key things I want from it really, and if it retains moisture whilst at it, so much the better.

I'm shy about naming duds as it may be me that is at fault ... but there again I think the seed companies rely on that a bit.I grew about a dozen varieties of Delphinium last year. Identical mini seed trays, sown at the same time, side by side, chilled for several months over winter and then...

I tend to agree with Madahhlia on this . I find Ebay very easy to search and purchase on , I seem to get the majority of my seeds from there now. I know lots on here like Chiltern seeds , but I did find them high cost . Then again they do have a huge range of seeds.

I see that he has Alstromeria psittacina. Ask about it next time that you're there - it's one that I really recommend.

It's very important to ferment your tomatoes

I completely forgot all about them, in fact the pips are still on top of the harvested, dried garlic in the greenhouse. Must get them done this week.. You've got a great start on those then Scrungee. Steve...

That's how much we got ours for - well done!

That's kind! If I kill mine I may have to take you up on it!

Sorry to hear that. My credit card company has always taken my word for it when a transaction has gone wrong and refunded my account and then, presumably, gone after the supplier. With credit card (as distinct from debit card I believe) the transaction is with the credit card company, so no...
