In container fern fronds dying going brown after this winter
Is it safe to keep using rhubarb after july ? or is this an old wives tail! mine is just 2 years old but has exploded in the last 2 weeks? seems a shame to waste it.
Planted Sarpo miras over 8- 10 wks ago , first time on this soil. Have noticed yellow leaves onthem for the last 10 days or so. What has gone wrong , do you think? I have only used farmyard manure in very small doses.
I bought a wisteria plant from a good garden centre. At purchase the leaves were very dry & havn't improved since. My plan is to start it off in a large pot until I can move it to surround the front door next year. It's still green, but should it be so dry & can you offer advice as to what to feed it with?
I am paving the entire of my concrete rectangular yard (15' x 6') with paving slabs. I have read the paving section but am wondering if I can lay the slabs on sand as I'm hoping to do the work myself and would be nervous about getting involved with concrete/mortar.
This year I have tried growing some vegetables in a raised bed off the ground about 2 feet. The seeds were set in a north-south orientation. I find that the growth rate in the centre of the rows is much greater, with the growth rate from the centre of each row tapering gradually down to the edge of each row. Looking at the bed side on, the young plants are smallest at the south side , gradually increasing in size to a maximum at the centre and reducing to the same small size at the other end of each row. Can you give any explanation for this apparent phenomenon. The bed is made from wood.
