It may be his hedge, but you have the legal right to cut back anything on your side of the border. If your garden is big enough to justify it, I...
It’s a cactus of some sort, it’s quite like one my mum had. The brown bits look dead to me. It doesn’t want much water, so be very sparing with...
If you have seen nothing at all, it’s not the weather - lettuce is very keen and would at least make a start. I suspect slugs or snails. They love...
I’m not a container gardener, but thinking ahead to next year, could you put up wind breaks, or use cloches over some of your crop? To be honest,...
That’s good @Escarpment. Mine would normally be in full bloom by now, but don’t even have the beginnings of buds, and look very sorry for themselves.
Mine have this as well. Not going to get any flowers at all this year I think, and for the first time ever. I thought they were bomb proof
That’s really helpful @Thevictorian and @infradig.The info on this site is so good.
I need to replace my rhubarb, and my nearest plant nursery is selling it both as bare rooted and in 3 litre pots. The potted ones are double the...
One of my tomatoes has produced this flower. I think I had one like this years ago(pre internet), and never found out what it was. I did a Google...
@Thevictorian , the autumn ones are all fine. Half of the summer ones are fine, one looks a bit sad, the rest have died.
Thanks for that @ricky101, @hamesy and @fairygirl. I have been reading about raspberries, and have got the impression that they live for 8-10...
My raspberry plants are fading more quickly than I had hoped, so I’m thinking about getting some more. However, I have been reading about...
I’m O rhesus positive @Sheal.
Could it be too wet and/or cold for them after all this rain? Mine was slowly fading away, so as a last ditch effort I moved it to the polytunnel,...
I use a heated propagator for a few tender veg. My poly tunnel isn’t heated, so I bring them back inside every night. It is a pain, but it results...
My rhubarb plant has never flowered either. Presumably they only do it when they suspect that the end is nigh.
OH gets bitten to death by any flying insect that bites, and they pretty much ignore me. I must smell disgusting to English and Welsh bugs. I get...
Agreed. I carefully snap the leaves downwards, so as to leave no stub on the stem. Always start from the outside, discarding any yellow leaves....
It’s unlikely that it’s the compost. Slugs and snails can get in anywhere if they want to. Don’t despair! I find the best defence is to keep tiny...
Me neither. But if there are slug or snail trails as well, then it’s either them, or them + the caterpillar. If you only found one caterpillar,...
