Yes a Montana would do well. We've already got lots of honeysuckles, so probably steer clear of that. I had a feeling the hop might not do too...
Not entirely sure exactly what we'll grow up it - trouble is it really catches the wind, so needs to be fairly tough! I'd like to try a golden hop...
I hope to continue the battle against the weeds and hopefully start to win! To install a waterfall feature above our main pond. To make a better...
We've just launched a new site called 'Galloway Vistor' to try and raise the profile of this lovely corner of Southwest Scotland and provide...
Hard to say exactly, as it was done in bits and pieces! The decking and pergola took about 3 days, then we added the pond, which took another...
For the first time in ages it hasn't rained today (yet!), and even let us dry the bedding from our holiday cottage outdoors! It's been miserable...
As the guys above said, plenty of organic matter will work wonders- if its really heavy and 'claggy' (ie badly drained) you might also want to dig...
I love hollyhocks, and have just been busy planting out a load of new plants grown from seed this year. My only worry is that we get so many bad...
Thanks all! Of course we are really blessed with such lovely countryside all round - makes a fantastic backdrop to anythng you do with the...

My courgettes have started producingplenty of fruit in the last couple of weeks, but a lot of them have been going rotten at the tip, while still...
They're not that far apart, claire - prob about 5 ft between the trunks with a gap of less than a foot between the greenery. The Philadelphus is...
We have a similar 'problem area' here. I put a load of garden compost down in the autumn and planted some daffodils, which did quite well, as did...
I've been growing courgettes for the first time this year, from seed. They got off to a good start and have made really healthy plants, whicha re...
I'd say around 15cm would be a good average size to aim for; I've actually known quite tiny ones to come up next year and eventully make good...
I see I was right about the Mallow - nice to have an exact ID now! Just to add to the notes on the page quoted - they do seed very easily in the...
It could well be that dividing may stimulate the old girl into renewed vigour - altho paeonies are supposed to not take well to being moved, I've...
You'd certainly be welcome to some seeds, Katy! They are very pretty, but do tend to take over if you are not quite ruthless. PM me with your...
