Ive been busy buying pots and getting things ready to plant my carrots and potatoes etc. Do you rake the leaves up on the grass or leave them?
Pruned the roses yesterday.Who's pruning/tidying what now?
Oh good call. I need to buy grass seed to do the same for our patchy bits once it's warmerPruned the roses yesterday.
Next task is reseeding the bald lawn, but I think it's still too early for that.
Mine also disappear without a trace... my thoughts are maybe it's my soil type (it can get quite boggy, so maybe they rot). I've given up and just plant Daffs (favourite being 'Jetfire').I've got this dream of having a little patch of ground covered in snowdrops with them spreading each year. So every year I go the garden centre and buy a few pots of snowdrops to plant in my mini woodland area, never to be seen again the next year. Does anyone know why. I could understand if I planted them as bulbs in the autumn but I plant them in the green as I'm told they are likely to keep coming back but they never do. Same with cyclamens. Could it be mice?

Our garden is nearly two years old (new build). Best climbers have been Honeysuckle, followed by summer jasmine in a sunny warm spot. Also we got quite a big winter jasmine and splayed it out across a trellis on the fence, and it has filled a space nicely. Clematis also grow fast and look lovely at flowering time, but die back every year, so it depends what time of year you're planning to sell.Rake them as it causes bald patches.
I need some recommendations for decent climbers. We’re selling the house in two years but the garden is pretty bare. Need some fence climbers that are relatively cheap and grow fast.
Thanks for all these! Will investigateOh, and you could also try everlasting sweet peas. They are perennial and die back completely in winter. The flowers don't have any scent unlike annual sweet peas. Or just grow a bunch of annual sweet peas from seed the year you want to move, if you just want the effect
I’d like to do potatoes this year- my sister put me off a few years ago - talking about spraying for blightI want to grow some Potatoes just need to get a tub to grow them in. Also want some new garden furniture this year so will be shopping around for that.
Oh I'm a novice to growing Potatoes so I'm just going by the RHS website and hoping for the bestI’d like to do potatoes this year- my sister put me off a few years ago - talking about spraying for blight I thought it was beyond me- Have success with rhubarb, raspberries, strawberries, courgettes, cucumbers, salad veg etc… but I fancy my own new spuds- any advice would be welcome
Did a bit of research last night “ blight resistant” said some of the packs on offer…Oh I'm a novice to growing Potatoes so I'm just going by the RHS website and hoping for the best.
My roses, alliums, hydrangeas all seem to be absolutely thriving with green growth. No leaves back on acers or wisteria yet and the garden is like a bog. I don’t plant veg but have been trying to germinate sweet peas and petunias in the house but they don’t seem to be working . So very mixed bag at the moment!How are everyones plants/veg holding up in this terrible weather?
