I changed over to free range meat some time ago - then realised that "free range" wasn't really "free range" if they couldn't get to the door to...
Hypericums have yellow flowers and seem to do well in most places in my garden - so may be worth a try.
Also, for spring colour, aquilegias seem to grow well in shade - and they can be found with yellow flowers, possibly orange. I have a bronze...
I planted a photinia (red robin) and a rhododendron in dry shade, and both of them nearly died! I would suggest some of the red /orange bracted...
I've heard that 10% milk solution was good for mildew. But I don't remember how often to apply it or when. Also, does it work as a preventative...
Thanks for everyone's replies. I think I will try to cultivate it, as I had brought some ragged robin and teasel seeds to try to add some nice...
Certainly looks like White campion. It's not a weed native to my garden (and I have loads!!) So I wonder where it came from - maybe dormant in the...

I agree with Roders, they need watering every day - preferably first thing in morning and last thing at night. It also helps if you plant up the...
I went to Heligan and Eden gardens about 9 years ago. I also went to Trebah gardens, and out of the three, Trebah was my favourite - with it's own...
I have a pond with hundreds of frogs, but they don't eat my slugs and snails! I now use empty milk cartons and cut off the top and bottom, and...
My favourites are pink/lilac bacopa, pink diascia with purple/mauve verbena and fuschia
A cardoon is an ornamental artichoke - and it definitely looks like my one. mine is also covered in blackfly, and it is also best to remove the...
Thanks. I haven't seen any flowers, as I haven't returned to the garden since I saw it a couple of weeks ago. I'll have to go back to Goodnestone...
