    I cut the oregano back about 3 weeks ago and it's already smothered - I'm not bothered about it.
    Thyme, lavender, oregano and rosemary grow freely here and there all over the garden and none of that is infested, so that's what I use.
    I think I've concluded that the 2 herb containers outside the lounge door can be put to better use.

    Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
    Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
  • My mum and I spent a huge amount of time this year trying to establish my garden. However I do seem to have a serious problem that I can’t seem to fix other than to pull everything up

    Cjcoolcat, the roses look like they’re suffering from Mosaic rose virus. Normally an issue well before you bought it. Most likely infected at the grafting point slightly below the soil level.

    There’s not much you can do but pull out the branches infected. Most times they don’t affect the growth, but very unsightly. They do not spread to other plants, so other plants are suffering from something else.

    Thanks for the feedback. It only came this year via a flower arrangement along with some other plants. Will put them in plant heaven I think as it is from the main stem ☹️
