Yesterday's sunrise was amazing. I was on the road at 5.30am, going to a job in North London, a two and a half hour drive from home. I'd just...
There has been some discussion recently on this subject George. http://www.gardenerscorner.co.uk/forum/scarifyingi-t26395.html I still suggest...
Hi Pam. I agree with Aaron about the second one but I wonder if the first could be Good King Henry, Chenopodium bonus-henricus. If it is, and I'm...
I'm afraid that's probably what it is.:( But, if it's not too widespread, you may be able to keep on top of it. There's a small clump that comes...
I heard this on Sounds of the 60s this morning, and it knocked me out. I'd never heard it before although I'm a big fan of 60s soul music and...
Very nice people to deal with too. Chris

I'm not so sure it is a nasty Kedi. the leaves look far too big for ground elder, as do the stems and joints. My guess is Angelica archenglica,...
I know they're not the cheapest but I've bought plants from Crocus when I couldn't get them from my normal wholesale nursery. They arrive promptly...
I'm not sure I completely agree with it being better to scarify in the autumn. Ideally, the lawn should be scarified both in autumn and spring...
Honestly, I'm amazed I've achieved as much as I have. When I first applied to do Chelsea, I thought, naively, that anyone could get in. It wasn't...
Of course I'll join in but I know I'll show up my ingnorance. I have a confession: My wife says I'm like Manuel from Fawlty Towers, "I do...
