2 years ago I planted 4 chaenomeles 'Jetrail' against a fence in a semi-shaded spot in my back garden. To date, only 1 has bloomed. Any ideas as to why the others haven't yet when conditions are the same for all 4? Do they need more time to establish themselves maybe?
Couple of years ago we got connected to water mains and dug a trench for pipes. Soil has now gone down and trench is about 6 inches under level of garden. Is it possible to put soil/sand on top of current grass where trench is and this will remain level. can't dig up etc due to age + back and trench is about 30 foot
My well established Schizostylis normally blooms late summer/early autumn. However, in the last week it has started to flower - is this normal?
New house nearly ready and we are putting gravel provisionally around most of house. 0.25 acre site. I want to start growing veg. Should i just get greenhouse ? or leave some ground as is for a tunnell ? or just leave some ground and grow direct in that. Aim is to grow kale / potatoes / onions - just enough for small family. Hopefully strawberries etc in greenhouse. Want to get this right cos if i get gravel all over then i might regret it or can i do everything i need in a greenhouse?
Having Planted out some Cabbage and lettuce plants in my polytunnell I am having the same problem as last year with Wire Worms...could you please tell me the best way to deal with these and what to treat them with.
I have a daffodil with 3 flowers on one stalk. I have never seen the likes. How unusual is it?
