What are your GARDENING plans for 2009 ?

Cheers Red, Ive already made a start, I bought 6 baby shrubs for £5.98 from B&Q which I am really pleased with as they dont grow to big:-

LEUCOTHOE (scarlet)
2 PIERIS (japnica Little Heath)
JAPANESE EUONYMUS (Garden maiden)
CHECKERBERRY (Gaultheria Procumbens)
and one that didnt have a label:dh: that I need to identifiy yet. 02

 

Lyn,

we both have the same disease. This time I mightt beat Ivory to this recommendation-hydrangeas are hard to beat for this requirement. Not necessarily the huge pink and blues-but there are some delicate beauties too-I am looking or a Shamrock one, and the limelight has done well in my garden

 

Keep tour eye on the euonymus 02, in my experience they will get large in time

 

Ahhhh Lolli the little liars,s00k on the label it says height 3ft and spread 1ft.:( 02

 

Lolli Your post is 1999 go for it gal. 02

 

I`ll do it in style then-B&Q don`t know anything about gardening.

 

02 they are easy to keep down, and the bonus is that they get very bushy. They can also be trained into a pleasing shape-I have one that stretches across the (new) pond. I have been training it for a few years now and it is gorgeous. As soon as I find the blinking camera I will posta pic to you. They are very good looking plants

 

Ive just downloaded the plant with no label, has anyone any clues please?

 

Not sure but it might be an azalea, although it looks a bit "succulenty" too, I don`t know if azaleas can flower at this time of yr-my one does in spring.

 

I have an Azalea Lolli, the leaves are very tiny on this plant, unless its a minature if there is such a thing. 02

 

Thanks for the Washy info B/Man, the roots from Tesco are Eddoes they have dozens of different names some are lovely plants Colocasia esqulenta and Colocasia antiquorum are but 2 of them if you get them from an ethnic shop you can get different sorts.

 

Aye thats it, bargain tropical plants :thmb:

 

Thanks for the offer of the gunnera BM, Id love one in my garden, I will deffinatley remind you next year Brill...Dee..

 

I can't go hydrangeas, I have tried and they always die.
In fact there are none in the area that I have seen so maybe it's just the wrong soil here.
Everyone round here tends to go Azaleas , Cordilines, Acers, Palms, Camellias.
Roses don't seem to do well either unless in a pots.
Or clematis.
Forsythia does well.
And most shrubs.
It's a problem knowing what to try.

 

So you get this,







From this.. BM..







Ill have some of that:thumb: Do I wait untill spring :cnfs: Thanks for info, your a Star
