- and one more thing, if I may! The passionflower on the terrace in a pot has come through the winter with lots of healthy foliage and is covered...
Urgle! Two days ago we had a healthy common thyme in a terracotta pot. Yesterday evening we were astonished to find it had been stripped bare and...
I'll try not to give too much water, but that's not easy when it's bucketing down outside! Thanks again.
Thanks for the reply, Hornbeam. I shouldn't think it's pot-bound as it was only potted on last November. The leaves aren't sticky at all and I...
