Mrs. Garden I usually find my secateurs in winter when the beds are bare! I have 4 pairs, 2 are missing at the moment Of course, it could be OH!
I'll confirm that honeysuckle can be cut hard back. Trouble is, I don't always get round to it then there is a messy load of dead black twigs in the middle.

Hello everyone, a new gardener here,I have recently moved and gone mad with the gardening, Ibought some gladi bulbs, freesia and montbretia I planted them in pots they have all got long leaves and the glads have got long blooms but they are like in a papery sheath and have not quite burst out all the others are the same, could anyone explain why? There are a lot of snails and slugs in the garden thats the reason for pots. I am disappointed but undeterred. thanks.
re missing secateurs. Mine spent 2 years under a compost heap. OH renovated them and they lasted until they found themselves at the far end of the shredder. After that they were beyond OH's renovation skills
Can the teaspoons be renovated fb? The ones my son put in the coal bucket (as a toddler not the 40+ he is now), were never really suitable for kitchen use having passed through the stove
Stainless steel teaspoons. I give them a go through the dishwasher and they're as good as new. (I have a bosch one. It doesn't grumble as much as the old one used to)

Hello
No need to be disappointed Jill, the glads will open up soon, from the bottom up - I'm sure you'll be very pleased with them.
Don't forget to water them, producing flowers takes a fair bit of moisture, and make sure they're getting some sunshine

I keep finding teaspoons in the compost heap.... they go in with the teabags via the kitchen compost crock.
