Hi Gerry, when laying stepping stones (unconnected) from my patio to my shed through my lawn, do I need to use sand & cement as a subbase, sand or can i just lay directly on topsoil?
In seed packets with large amount of seeds ie 750 or 1250 .How do I sow seeds from packets of 1250The packet says sow thinly What does this mean ,Also the packet says " Sow seeds in consecutive sowings " for continuous flowering What does this mean ? Many Thanks
Hi Gerry,Please could you suggest some suitable hedge types for a front garden in a suburban estate that won't mind being kept fairly low (1m max). It's a difficult site - north-facing, very exposed and windy, about 1km from the sea with a heavy clay soil that is a bit prone to waterlogging in places. I'm thinking of griselinia, hornbeam or escallonia.Thank a million!
Hi Gerry, we have a farily big garden and are trying to get started with planting etc. There are 2 large old beech trees at the front with beds beneath them - in the shade, have you suggestions for what hardy plants/shrubs might grow successfully there with a splash of colour? At the back there is a large open area, of dark boggy soil that we hoped to plant also - any suggestions for that soil? Lastly we wanted to begin a fruit/veg plot in the same soil, what might grow best? Thanks !!!
Gerry, I want to move daffodils which are in the wrong place but not now as I d'ont want to damage any other plants which I can't see yet(Dahlia,Hosta, etc.)Can I transplant just before they die down in late spring?
Hello Gerry, can plants be sent to Ireland from me in the UK? one of my 'friends' has asked for some seeds when my poppies flower which I guess is ok but I would like to send her a few hellebore plants as a present. Thank you
