I've been growing a LOT of seeds indoors as I only have a balcony on which to grow produce - read more about my ambitious gardening project, the London Vegetable Garden at http://londonvegetablegarden.blogspot.com
Can anyone help - I would like to provide a table decoration in the form of a bee friendly plant for 10-15 tables at an agricultural event, with a view to one of the guests taking it and planting. It would need to be in bloom in a couple of weeks and make quite a focal point in the centre of the table. All suggestions welcome.
I recently purchased a Daphne bholia 'Jacqueline Postll' after seeing some in bloom and finding the perfume irresistable. I am not certain now whether I have a suitable position in my garden to plant it. I must control my impulse buying of plants! Does anyone know whether I could grow it in a pot and if so what size could I expect it to grow. What sort of compost should I use? Thanks Grannynott
i just picked a lot of leaves off my newly planted(last year) grean gauge because they were all curly with small bugs or flies(i couldnt tell which)in them. I also had to nip out the tips of the new growth on each branch, did i do right??? this tree means a lot to me because it has my ma and da under it, all replies welcome!!!!
I have sowed pepper seeds in my conservatory but nothing has happened. I was told that they need heat, should I put them close to the boiler I have in the kitchen OR put them on the kitchen window ?
We have an allotment which we have built raised beds and planted our first crop of potatoes and onions. Yesterday we visited the site to weed and generally to see how our crops were coping with the wet weather and on closer inspection whislt weeding came across some odd looking fungi growning next to the edge of the raised border next to the potatoes and onions, just out of interest no one else's plot have been affected. We are rather concerned as to what exactly what this fungus is and is it a health hazard,ie could it contaminate the soil or crops and will the crops indeed be safe to eat when ready. How we identify the fungus though and find out the origin of the culprit would be extremly helpful. If anyone could suggest anything at all which could help us then, please do.
can anyone help? I have had a couple ton of wood chippings delivered that is full of pine needels and fur tree leave is this ok to use as a mulch? I have also some very large raised beds waiting to be filled with compost would this be ok mixed in to make the compost go further as i take it that it would compost down eventually anyway? any help would be appreciated.
