    Funny isnt it how once you start....

    I have had all these great/crazy ideas in the last 24 hours and once i finally decide on something it usually gets done (impatience).

    Its people like you tho that keep me interested and hungry for answers.

    I'll keep u posted tho and ill mail u pics as it progresses.

    Please do, its lovely to see the outcome, so that will be a fully grown border by next week on your timescale then!image
  • Haha yeah by next week i should have 3 years growth at least image
  • Just seen 3 types of pyracantha for sale. Red, orange and yellow berries.

    My question is this.

    How far apart do i space them?

    I was also considering having the whole left fence running down the garden covered in these 3 varieties. They are selling 5 of any of the 3 for ??19.99 on eBay and i think it would look great!

    Hey mick and Bekki, sorry for late arrival image A question each! Mick the neighbours who stare, are they from the house that has the conservatory? Bekki I have big pyracantha and want to move later on, do you think it will take a move?

    I think the spacing is supposed to be 18 inches between plant, im awful at this, i always plant closer together!

    Why not have red running into orange into yellow? It would look fab and they are such tough plants! You can also grow something else through them if you get bored image



    I dunno about a couple of bags of muck, at this rate you will need to buy a horse!image



    Its important to get the soil right before planting image



    Ive used creativegardenideas for compost and muck in the past, they offer free delivery in most areas if you spend 30 quid image

    Hi BM, yes, soak it before and after, i mean puddles of water, and give it a trim,should be fine image



    I use that miccrorhysal fungi stuff wherever i can, i found it really helps image

    I think its a very under- rated plant, and of course very good for wildlife! image, i hope we will have pics from you too image
