I've always struggled with aphids on my lupins. This year one plant was infested before it even had any significant growth on it, and no flower...
Ah, thanks. I'd misunderstood what you meant there. I thought you meant to only cut the green bit of the stem when pruning, not as far as the...
Good news in that 2 of the 3 cuttings I took have rooted. I've put them into bigger pots. Hope I don't kill them yet!Any idea about the...

Wow! It's huge!
Coming back to this thread to say that they are selling 'Echinacea' in Aldi again and I am not falling for it again!
Hello, I'm back again to show off my uncanny ability to ruin plants!This is my aloe vera that I thought had just outgrown it's pot. I'm ready to...
The purple and white one is either hardy fuschia Delta Sarah or bush fuschia Lena Dalton. I kept their labels but not sure which is which. They...
Either Aldi or Home Bargains, can't remember but sounds like a possibility!
