:hapydancsmil::hapydancsmil::hapydancsmil:I would like to eventually have a greenhouse, but it will take me a while to save up for one. So, when...
Hi @Sheal, The pods are still on stems and I put them into jars of water so that they don't dry out too quickly before they ripen enough to...
My sister just sent a text to say they can't come over tomorrow, so I'll be on my own if I go out to do this.:sad:
That's a good idea @Scrungee :dbgrtmb: I usually do the Big Garden Birdwatch but it looked like someone was scaring the birds away this year. The...
Sheal's suggestion to ripen the seed pods indoors has worked. As soon as I noticed that two of the pods had opened slightly, I shook each one over...
Is anyone here taking part ? Information here - http://www.rspb.org.uk/discoverandenjoynature/discoverandlearn/sleepout/index.aspxI'm trying to...
Thanks Jenny :thumbsup: So far, I have been puting a label on each stem of the non-standard flowers. You know those plastic strip labels you get...
So far, I've had lots of what I call "standard" flowers on my Ladybird poppy (Papaver commutatum), which is a deep red with a black spot at the...
I agree with everyone above. It is Yarrow (Achillea millefolium). More of a wildflower than a weed as such. I have it growing in my grass every...
I have found that article I read about Reproductive Biology of British Poppies :biggrin: This is it - http://archive.bsbi.org.uk/Wats7p55.pdf...
I've just been out to check on my poppies and noticed two flowers that are tiny compared to the rest. They are at least half of the standard size...
She's an amazing little dog. Loves people, loves children, is friendly towards other dogs and was very easy to train once I knew how her mind...
Sorry to hear that Sheal. Some days you feel like you can do a lot, but then you suffer for days afterwards. Other days, you struggle to get...
Being stuck in the house most of the time due to having arthritis, this is giving me something to do rather than dwell on my painful, swollen...
That's interesting re the seed pods Sheal, thank you. All of the pods from the earliest red & black poppies are quite swollen now, so I'll try...
After more searching I have found out that the Ladybird poppy was originally developed by Wm Thompson, founder of Thompson & Morgan, from a poppy...
That's a good idea. Leave them where they are over winter but protect them from the wettest weather. They are fairly sheltered where they are...
I'm not sure if they are annuals or not. When I've done searches to find out about them, I've seen them described as annuals on some sites but...
Thank you Sheal. I'll have a go at taking cuttings then. Never done it before but I have a good book (RHS Encyclopedia Of Gardening) that has lots...
Just a thought. Do you own the neighbouring field with the bath/water drinker in it ? Is the bath/drinker plumbed into a water supply ? Most...
