I have started (seed tray) Lavender Munstead and have about 60 germinated. They have appprox 3 sets of leaves after seed leaves. I'm about to pot on but not sure what compost i should use.
I was at the Bloom festival and heard Dermot O'Neill talking about strawberries. He recommended a variety Royal Soverign - I ordered 6 plants of this over the internet and am waiting on their delivery. Now I am wondering1- is it too late to sow them ? 2 - if not, can I grow them plant them in containers as I don't have a glasshouse or suitable plot.3 - is there any specific compost for strawberries 4- how many can I grow in 18" round containers?
I will be planting out half hardy fuchsia this week, directly into the garden, should I plant them out in a pot and if so what size pot should I put them in, to allow for root development
as my cabbages etc are now maturing nicely is it safe to remove the netting covering the plants or are they still at risk?
HiI'm the proud owner of a very old climbing rose, orignally grown in my great grannies home in Tipperary around the early 1900's. It flowers once a year around early June, has many trusses of soft pink blooms with an incredible frangrance, and for the rest of the year does nothing except get every rose disease known to man! I keep it for the one great show of flowers once a year. I don't know it's name and don't know the correct mehod of pruning - should I chop it back now after flowering or wait till spring? If anyone has any idea of it's name, it would be great or advice on how best to look ater it.
