I planted a willow hedge in early March. The willows were on average 6ft tall when planting. i can see now that they are about 9 ft or more but the leaves are starting to turn yellow and die. I have other willow trees and this is not happening to them and it much too early for them to be wilting for autumn. the ground is plenty wet and i can see the other willows thriving on the soil type. Are they too tall, should i prune them back now?
Can you tell me know what the tallest sunflower is in Ireland? i cant find an answer any where please.
I recently bought three garden mums which i planted in containers. I am deadheading now to allow the new blooms underneath to grow. I am wondering how i should care for these over the winter please.Do i leave in containers or plant into the ground? Thank you
I have grown Butternut Squash for the first time this year. How do I know when they are ready? Do they turn yellow once they get picked or do I have to wait for them to turn yellow before picking? Any advice would be appreciated.
I bought a ginger plant at Farmleight plant fair yesterday thinking i could grow it outside in my "tropical plant style" bed but have found it hard to find any information on the plant and what little i have found seems to indicate that it IS a tropical plant that likes warmth and humidity which obviously i can't provide here on the canal in Dublin i.e. windy and grey and rainy. Could you tell me please whether or not i can grow it outside? If not as i don't have a greenhouse would it be ok in a bathroom that gets a lot of light and which is centrally heated but i could keep bowls of water around and spray it regularly?? i'd be upset if i couldn't keep it as its a beautiful plant and i paid 25 euro for it!
Can you please tel me what could i plant in my garden this time of the year August for the Spring? I have grown Sweet Peas in my conservatory is it ok to plant them outside they are beginning to flower?
