I like your choice of large paving @Ian Clive White, it certainly makes the area look more spacious :blue thumb:. I agree with @noisette47 about...
Now is a good time to prune, before new growth appears.
I have just finished mulching the borders near my sitting area. I used 6 bags of compost from a nursery that uses it to grow their own stock and I...
I grow Catalpa here @Butterfly6, quite a feature. I pollarded mine for the first time last year, after ten years, the leaves were definitely...
Waitrose is, often with differential pricing :rolleyespink:. I’m not sure about Primrose. Crocus has its own nursery but also buys and supplies...

That's helpful @Ryan Youll , thank you. The depth is good, and although the width will be limiting, there's potential! I would perhaps bulk up...
Approximately how high (deep) and wide are your raised beds @Ryan Youll and are they open to the ground below? Also, what did you fill them with...
My brother had part of his lawn treated in a similar way as you suggest @Seafigicecoffee, but including some trenches as it was really bad. It is...
Depending on the size of your Fatsia @ViewAhead, one of those tall fleece covers with a drawstring at the bottom might protect your plant until...
Those are probably vine weevils @Songbird. Heucheras are one of their favourite targets, unfortunately. The adults lay their eggs at the base of...
That sounds like blatant thuggery @ViewAhead. Have you got a long range water pistol? :biggrin:
If you can dig one up with the bulb intact that will help with identification. My shoots are a similar size to yours. A couple of years ago I...
