The angular holes are typical of Vine Weevil, unfortunately. The adults eat the leaves while the grubs in the soil eat the roots, so a...
The photo is a little out of focus, but it looks like a sedum of some type?
Oak leaves do take at least 2 years to break down enough to be used, as mentioned. The added nitrogen in grass clippings etc. won't help much, as...
A honeysuckle won't do at all well in a pot, unfortunately. I think you may be able to get away with an evergreen clematis like 'Freckles' if the...
I'd check the dead/dying part and see if it is all coming from one branch and cut off the whole branch, if so. The good news is that they recover...
It does look like it. See if the following identification guide for Sea Beet helps:...
I grew mixed strawflowers several years ago. Once dried (just remove leaves and hang upside down for three weeks) they made super indoor...
Radish or something related. perhaps?
They do here, the little b*ggers!
Yes, I believe this is quite common. I've had three different apple trees which have '2nd bloomed' at this sort of time. It wouldn't surprise me...
Chillies are self-pollinating, but sometimes need a little help to get the pollen to transfer inside the flower. I'd do as @JWK suggests. :smile:
Hi @DaveyB If you mean a Potato tree/vine (Solanum crispum), I have one ('Glasnevin') and wouldn't recommend it for that purpose. They are unruly...
Hi @Leafylearner Hylotelephium spectable (maybe 'Iceberg'), Phlox paniculata (possibly 'Bright eyes') and Crocosmia (possibly 'Lucifer').
I'd say it's definitely a leafcutter bee. There are several species which are difficult to tell apart, but the yellow/orange underside visible in...
I've researched this myself and have observed it in my own cats (all now sadly passed away.) Pepper (a black Tom) would even bite my fingers if I...
I've used weedkillers containing glyphosate successfully on bindweed, but I'm not very confident it will work well where it is invading from next...
It sounds like there is a problem with drainage. Liverwort only tends to spread in permanently damp or waterlogged areas, so I would try and...
Hi @James Clegg The growth at the base is caused by suckers from the rootstock. You need to remove these (pulling them off is better than...
Hi @daisym Tomato flowers are self-pollinating, so they don't need extra help on outdoor plants, as a gentle breeze will do the trick (as well as...
Unfortunately, this sort of thing is more common than you may imagine. Many of the more popular seeds are supplied wholesale to several of the...
