I get a small crop of blackcurrants by removing the big buds now. Is there any cure other than destroying the plants ?
Just wondering what could have eaten my beetroots? Surely it couldn't have been done by slugs and I don't see any rabbits or hares around.You might enlighten me. They were taken out of the ground in November with all this damage.
I'm a mother of 3 small children and a mischievous labrador. I need an easy maintenance back garden.
I'm trying to identify the "critters" in the pics. I discovered them when replacing some beech hedge plants. There are 40 plants in the hedge that was planted bareroot in march 2016, each plant was about 5ft in height when planted, so reasonably mature. I had to replace 10 of them, which i did January 2017. The 10 replaced were not all in the same place, although a few were next to each other.I'm wondering what the critters are and if they could be a problem and were a factor in the plants dying, of course the plants could have died as a result of how I planted them. If they are a problem how should I treat them?See also pic of one of the dead plants,there are white specs on the roots, first I thought it was just residue of blood, fish and bone but that was applied during last summer and would've surely dissolved?I was only able to attach one pic
I have a new 12' by 15' by 10' tall greenhouse. Can you give basic maintenance tips already I have green slime on the patio slabs supporting the frame. I will sow in the soil and will have pots also. I intend to grow a few vines but I wonder is it worth having two or three and will I be able to grow anything underneath them. Is a weeping hose suitable to water with?
Can Pomegranate and Persimmon grow outdoor at Ireland? If yes, which breed is better?
