Ooh, the mention of bay reminds me. Herbs are good for pots and would help with a cottage garden feel. Sage, thyme and rosemary are all evergreen...
Hello James, is there any reason why you want to plant in pots rather than the ground? It’s just that most things are easier to look after in the...
Definitely @shiney , how wonderful. I love seeing them visit our feeder so to have a nest would be fabulous
I’ve never though about trying the peppers etc with damp tissue/plastic bag :ideaIPB:Have made a reminder in my gardening notebook to try this...
Sticky weed doesn’t bother me, rash wise, which is just as well as it pops up everywhere here. I do get a horrible prickly rash from hops. We...
It’s sedum rupestre maybe Angelina.We’re in the Midlands but the pond is quite exposed and it’s been happy, wet or dry, and through frosts for a...
