    Mine are getting Tomato Food, now they are in flower. What do you/folk think about Miracle Grow vs. Tomato Fertiliser for flowering plants, like Cannas?

    Dahlias? Same [as Cannas] or different?

    I use both, Kristen, for the Cannas and Dahlias, feeding Tomato Feed one week and Miracle Grow the next, while watering in between to keep them happy.:coffee:

    You've reminded me I've not given the roses any tomato feed for a while, so am off to do that now :blue thumb:

      I wish you wouldn't say things that are obvious as that, I find it very embarrassing ... :(

      I do that from June [from next year :heehee:]

        We only feed pot plants and then it's with whatever is handy - our stock of feed depends on what's on special offer at the time. Not sure that's much of a scientific approach :sad:

        Today was "harvesting" rather than gardening (but it could also be described as "thinning out")

        Here were the ingredients I shopped for in my garden today for our roast (the eggs were for the Yorkshire pudding and tomorrow's breakfast). I had to go back to get some more carrots because there wasn't enough in my box to satisfy 3 hungry males :heehee:

          Thanks :)

          All went very well - suffice to say I was pleased when he said that the house looked really "lovely and homely" and that the garden looked "fantastic" all topped off with a "I wish all my tenants were like you, really looking after the place"

          Rent went up a bit (as it does), however that came with a two year lease extension and guarantee of no further increases - apparently, they want us to stay on for a while yet! All in all, we're content and feel a wee bir more secure.

            That's really good news, FC, I'm really pleased for you. Landlords always take every opportunity to raise the rent, I'm afraid, but I hope it wasn't too much.:snork:

                £50 a month, which works out at roughly 5% - I've effectively wiped it out with the saving on our TV package at the weekend anyway, so its all good. :)

                  How weird - I've just had an email showing a response to this thread by Mum, yet the response isn't here???

                  Something funny going on methinks, as I was certain that I had pressed the Post Reply button earlier on Zigs birthday thread, yet the post never appeared on the thread?

                  Pop a post in the "forum bugs" thread ;)

                  However, for this particular thread (can't speak for the Zigs thread), I *did* post a response, but then deleted it as is contained TMI (too much information) and had the potential to take the thread off topic :redface: My apologies for being too intense on the keyboard and putting mouth in gear before brain! :redface:
