The reason for this New Section

I dont know I havn't reached mine yet

 

ahem!

 

Thank you for your generous offer.
I have a 100 foot garden which needs a face lift, and I would love it if you could design me a new one and even more pleased if you would build it. I would like it done for the summer and whilst you're at it I will have a mohair hat and gloves in blue ! The translation you cant keep. The weeding I presume will be done with the garden design !!!

 

Love it, Jean!!!!

Go on, then! Let's have the dteails of your 100ft garden!! And I'll translate it into French or German for you, jsut for the H of it!!

But no - the weeding is extra!

Whereabouts are you? Chances are I can point you to some relatively local help.....

 

Can't get in to edit the post, unfortunately - system's on a go-slow.... so, if you could just imagine the typos fixed, please???

And - I thought it just said location:UK - now I see it says Morecambe - and I know nobody there... not to do with gardening, anyway - just my cousin in St Annes!

Sure you wouldn't prefer a shawl, or a macrame pot hanger.......?? :D

 

No thanks. Considering you are going to be very busy when everyone gets to hear about your free offer I'll leave the shawl as Im not yet old enough to need it. Although I am old enough to remember macrame pot hangers. I vaguely remember Doing one in 1976.
Maybe your cousin in ST Annes needs it. Everyone is over 85 yrs old there. Its compusory.

 

Not my cousin - she's in her 40's and a fitness instructor!! :D

Have a look in the hobbies section, and you'll see the sort of shawl I had in mind..... might change your mind! :rolleyes:

But we're ever so slightly off-thread here....... Can't see how to get back, so I'll let someone else do that!

 

Eleagnus - to answer your query - I have been told that violas last several years and do ok whereas pansies, although they can last for more than one year tend to get rather stringy and straggly, that is why it is suggested new ones needed yearly.
Perhaps they will survive and look ok

 

Some pansies will do for a couple of years but you need to cut them back in the autumn. Violas will come again for a good few years.

 

someone said:
even if you grow a bulb upside down

please dont tell me that they should have been put in a specific way? there was nothing on the instructions and i planted 5 packets!!!

will they still grow? :(

 

Yes they will. But if you did indeed plant them upside down, may weaken the plant a bit - as it struggles to get back up again. All that efford may effect the flowering.
