Another advocate here of pushing down on the handle to "wheelie" the mower along for dealing with very high grass.I always take off a bit at a...
As for what type, I've had a couple of goes at shoot-outs of all the varieties I could get from garden centres. Each time I've bought 3 plants of...
Aquilegia (columbine) are beautiful, robust, and give a little height to the planting above something like aubretia, alyssum, campanula or other...
I'm afraid we're going to need better resolution and closer shots!The only thing that's actually recognisable are daffodils. The blue things are...
Bonfire today. It was only snowing slightly (!) so we all headed outside. I had a load of stuff cut down to burn, plus 4 dead half-height fence...
Are we talking like 3-5m evergreens, the kind with sort of feathery rubbery fronds, which are actually cypresses? Or actually firs where "mature"...
Nice one. Not a fun job - but you're not going to regret doing it, now you've got that area free and clear to do stuff with.
Re the honeysuckle, the ones with unusual pruning I've met have been the bush type. If you've got one which grows as a woody creeper up a wall or...

Cool, I'll give that a go. Ironically this is the first house (out of 5) where the garden isn't full of clay! I can try something similar with my...
Yes, I've thought about espaliering. I'm concerned about creating a maintenance problem for keeping them trained though. I'm fine with a bit of...
Thanks noisette. Can't believe I didn't think of raspberries - I pick them every time if I see them when I'm walking. Considering about a quarter...
I live next to a small "common" field, which theoretically is maintained by some committee, but in practice is maintained by me when it comes to...
Honestly, just buy an electric saw. You'll never regret it.I did a bit of stuff with sleepers last year. Straight cuts through were fine with a...
