Hi Adam! I have a goji berry plant which I bought last year. It's doing well but I'm just wondering if they're self-fertile or if they're like blueberries and I need to get another one to get fruit.
I've heard Tenby daffodils (N Obvalis) reproduce by seed rather than by producing clumps of new bulbs. When's the best time to take the seed and how do I get it to germinate? in Yorkshire?
OK, Ive been waiting all winter for the seed pods on my <span class="header4Class">trachelospermum jasminoides to open (I thought it best to leave them on the plant as it would be best place for them to further develope and to be in the right conditions to mature).
<span class="header4Class">Today I found the seed pods had cracked and lots of feathery parachutes hidden inside with little brown seeds on them. They are definately the ones from that plant.
<span class="header4Class">I dont want to mess up and have had little sucess with seeds so I really really want to get this right - what is the very best way to get them to germinate and grow into lovely strong plants please?
Hi Adam could you please help me. My pond needs some oxygen and I'd like a water feature. I'd like to build a mini pond (40cm across), 80 cm from the main pond and elevated by 40 cm. Water would be pumped by solar energy from the pond up through pipes into the mini pond (reservoir) and would run along a mini river into the pond, creating sound and movement and oxygenating the pond. What do I need to buy and where can I get it? The technology (size of solar panel, cables, pipes) is far beyond me. PLEASE HELP - my pond and I are desperate. THANK YOU!! Kind regards Konia
My garden is mainly clay, I have spent alot of time digging and adding soil inprover etc and putting in drainage as it can get very wet. To add to this it can be very windy to which I have put up some wind breaks to slow the wind down .I would like to grow a climing plant over my fence which is a fast growing ,the side it would be planted on would be in the shade .As the plant grows it would be in the sun for most of the day as the top of the fence is in full sun.I like the plants which change colour in autumn ie virginia creepers .I have tried clemitis but not with suscess.
Dear Adam, I live in Newcastle upon Tyne. I have planted two bulbs of Lilium about three weeks ago. They are outside under a south facing wall and it has been raining almost every day or 5days a week ever since. The shoots of the first one appeared straight after planting and it kept growing very well and the second one followed. But it has been a week that the first one stopped growing and the tips of the shoots are very dry now. I don'r know if I should put them inside or in a more shady place. Is there any way to save it?
I have several bulbs in my garden that have not produced any flowers. I garden on heavy clay and generally only feed borders in the spring as the ground gets too hard after that. Having read some articles it is recommended to give a dose of phospherous to encourage blooms but if my bulbs have already not bloomed, is it too late to start feeding them for next year.
Hello Adam, last week-end (15/4) I sowed runner beans indoor. In 1 week, 4 seedlings are > 6 inches tall but have not true leaves yet. What should I do: plant them outdoor, repot them indoor or let them in their tiny pot until they develop true leaves? Note: I live in Lancaster and the metoffice forecasts between 4 and 11C for this week (and rain showers, of course...).
