Can I grow sweet potatoes in a polytunnel in Ireland. where can I get the sweet potato slips in Ireland?
My question is: I would like to create a wildflower meadow in the 4-acre riverside sheltered field that adjoins my cottage. I need to remove tough grass but preserve certain areas which are filled with bluebells in the Spring. I have researched the basic principles of creating such a wildflower meadow but would like to know a bit more about what are the best means and machines for taking up the dense grass in such a large area- and keeping it under control without resorting to hugely environmentally and health-damaging glyphosate.
I'm wondering what annuals to plant for the best cut flowers for an informal wedding.
I have peace Lily for 25 years its leaves have started to turn yellow and die.
When I was younger the seasons were defined as for example Nov, Dec & Jan. were winter. But I think that has now all changed, at least from a gardening point of view. You often see references to "early spring" or "mid spring" or "late spring" etc. I would consider March to be early spring and May as late spring. I was wondering what your thoughts are on this?
