Have any of you seen this before? This helianthemum has been in for about four years. I don't think I bought it as a named variety, but it...
I was going to say, leave them for the sparrows! They really love them: I presume they are eating the seeds. When there are just bare stalks,...
They'll be absolutely fine - a beautiful, chaotic scramble of flower and fragrance! When you say 'many other stems came up through the ground',...
Jeremy,It would be cheaper for you to buy a load of topsoil than many sacks of compost. Look in the gardening classified ads in your local...
I do so agree about Alan. And as for his show being 'too mainstream' or 'too simple', stop being gardening snobs! A programme which shows people...
I have a constant if low grade battle with my other half. If left to himself he would live in a field. Everything in his ideal garden would be...

I feel like a big wuss now. Am waiting for a man with a digger to come and dig out my new bed! It took me three days to dig an outline. It is...
Just come back from a week in East Anglia. Masses of white, red and pink valerians were growing together on the beach at Aldeburgh. I love them,...
