Your mango will toughen up. The very young leaves are that colour and will turn green soon enough. Usually farmers in the tropics grow grafted...
Mine are now getting into proper fruiting. The black ones are quite early this year, especially svart, also black trifele (my favourite) and...
Oooh, thanks for pointing me in the direction of Chiltern Seeds. They have some lovely very mixed packs of aquilegia, which look like just the...
Can anyone suggest a supplier of aquilegias, now that Carrie Thomas' National Collection has been wiped out by disease? I'm getting into them, and...
Looks like a crucifer (mustard/cabbage family) weed to me. Wait til the flower emerges properly: if it's a daisy-type thing then ragwort, if 4...
Greater willowherb, I think. This one has bigger flowers, but it seeds absolutely everywhere.
Just returned from my local Home Bargains store. (Note: a different chain from B&M Home Bargains but same idea) They have quite a large range of...

I'm a regular at our local Homebase, which will close soon. My friends and neighbours are there too. It does feel like a trolley dash though, or...
Or Apple of Peru, though it's vaguely poisonous. It's a tropical weed species, which is presumably how it gets into bird seed and then sometimes...
I took my last tomato plants down today as I plan to redesign the veg garden.We haven't had a frost yet, though it's forecast to go down to 1C...
LOL, I'm trawling our local Homebase too each week looking for successive markdowns on the gardening stuff!
I had one pop up in my garden this year. Have potted it up and will put it into my new silver bed when I've finished digging in manure.
Ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia) is the one the French were alerted about. It's wind pollinated, and as Silver Surfer says, the pollen causes...
