Hey Brightonboy. If you fancy some free (ish) seeds, pop over to the Cabbage growing competition thread!
Simon Z The seed basicaly contains 3 things. 1) genetic instructions, telling the plant how to grow, what its flowers and leaves etc will be...
And if they did die as a direct effect where would the liability lie for the cost of their removal? Good point Krisin. I have no idea. I know...
Did I mention that I may be moving house, so have to juggle pots, uncultivated plots, I have no idea. And that everyone had agreed that I get a...
Marley, that is a GREAT idea. Hadn't thought of it, thanks. Chop my side, hide it with a tough climber. Maybe an evergreen though - even Ivy!...
If you mean Cherry Laurel Prunus laurocerasus (not actually a true 'laurel' but the most common hedging plant called 'laurel') then very fast....
I'm hoping they will turn out to be a friendly old couple who accidentally let it become unmanagable and will be delighted to have some help...
If any of you girlies need a hand with digging or anything, do give one of us lads a shout, we'll be delighted to help - we've got the trophy in...
In my experience most gardeners like the 'natural' look for containers. Wood, aged terracotta, that kind of thing. Some poncy 'outside room'...
Well, fingers crossed that the neighbours will be reasonable and come to an arrangement. But if they insist on keeping it, it'd be such a shame....
Grew a few of these in the past. Not hugely successful. Just to get my excuses in early, I may or may not be moving house during winter /...
They certainly haven't maintained it Aaron. It's HUGE! It's frustrating though. We can't afford to be fussy - tight budgets and not much within...
Oh I know there are many strains. Or at least I am told there are. But the only botanically definied species, from which they are derived, is...
Nah the only species of Cannabis is sativa (though it's in the process of being sub-classified I believe?). It is dioecious - seperate male and...
There may be loopholes. I can't believe it's illegal to grow it as a garden plant, for example. You're allowed to grow Papaver somniferum after all!
It's tough though, because the house is good apart from that, and we can't afford to be too fussy. Cut more than a third into old wood on any...
I think so Pete. Seeds are fine (I used to buy them for fishing). But the germination and cultivation of plants is illegal, unless under licence....
An old chestnut this one. Looking at buying a house. Next door has a huge DEATH WEED EVIL BUSH growing right up to 'our' garden boundary. It's...
Aw am I too late to vote? It'd be unfair to go for bindweed - I'm an expert at that, and would kick all your asses. So I vote for hemp. Cough.
I suspect your plants have got a severe case of "autumn", becky! There's no known cure.
