@ARMANDII that is fantastic, thank you, I'd never properly differentiated soil/compost in my head before, that explains a lot! So simple...
Took cuttings from my tender fushcia, Rivendell, yesterday, as I'm worried it won't survive the winter. Got home from work this evening to...
Thanks all. At the moment there isn't anywhere on the borders to put it, but I'll give it another couple of months for everything to die back and...
As autumn draws in I'm finding myself sitting on several pots/bags of empty soil - home to various veg and annuals over the summer. Probably a...
What's the variety at the front, @shiney, with the white flowers?
That looks incredible @day dreamer , an amazing project house and garden by the look of the photos - I'm very envious! Does your land stretch all...
How?! Over the years I've tried beer traps, copper rings, egg shells, gravel...the only thing that seems to help at all is copper tap around...
Do you guys find fritillaries from bulb to be generally successful? I love them and was all geared up to buy some bulbs when I read somewhere...

Great, thanks @ARMANDII , I'm glad you think it's worth persevering. All the other roses have flowered at least a little this summer despite...
I think I have a climbing rose. It was a stump when we moved in last winter (landlady had hacked back some overgrowth before we got here) but...
What's the white flower in the bottom left of the trough, @kindredspirit ? It's stunning.
