Planted these last summer but can't remember what they are! Any ideas?
A man/woman after my own heart. I am terrible at keeping track of what I’ve put where. I tell my wife I’m going for a wild garden aesthetic, but the truth is it’s chaos.
I have this problem. My solution is to put the label from the plant or empty packet from the seeds under a stone nearby.
When planting seeds in the greenhouse I try to use different coloured pots so I know what I need to be looking out for
Red = tomatoes Green = lettuce Yellow & orange = beetroot Black = pumpkins (the ones growing from melon seeds!)
So I use Hozelock hoses and connectors, pressure has dropped a bit due to development in the village. However, I did not realise that the hozelock "stop" connectors could affect the pressure so much. Has a white stopper that is pushed back when anything is connected but appears to reduce the flow so much. Snipped off, the pipe size is the same as one without it.
I’ve gone Tony soprano over a number feeding off a dead tree stump in the garden. Now they’ve chewed it loose, something has been trying to get to them. It’s unnecessary killed a couple and dug up more. Anyone know if I can move them, and to where?
I’d rather not move them, but I don’t want to lose anymore.
Just been out to do some tidying up and weeding. Cant believe how dry the ground is. It’s like July!!!.
This. Was out in the garden over the weekend and had cause to dig up a failing hydrangea to try elsewhere and the soil to a depth of at least 30cm was bone dry. Last spring I was hardly able to do anything for fear of causing a Somme like scene but this year it’s necessary to water stuff already.

I think, I might be wrong, Stag beetles are a protected species. You may have to just enjoy them while they are there and just leave alone.
Ex water tower sounds interesting now a well sounds and perfect, I have half a dozen large water buts working off the house well hidden down the unused side of the house, having no grass to worry about means I have easily enough water saved for my tropical plants in the summer, although I have started adding more Mediterranean stuff.

I think they are too, was happy leaving alone but they’re very much now at risk. While I'm ok to let nature take its course, this is likely a fox who is not interested in eating them…probably because it’s the same one that gets the chicken bones out the bin. So if there were anything I could do, I’d like to do it.
As I start my second year of gardening I’m start to learn what I like and dislike as far as plants go.
My neighbour tells me slugs will destroy my dahlias but I can only assume that the stones/shingle that doubles as the dogs toilet area deters them because I’ve not lost one and have 19 returned from last year. Im loving the bananas, ferns, palms and such like also giant alliums , Camilla and rhododendrons for some early flowering plants although raising them in beds and pots with acidic soil is a challenge.

I'm no expert but I'd say your lawn could do with watering mate.

I bought a tiny holly shrub some 48 years ago and turned it into a standard over time.
It has a habit of getting a bit top heavy and needs an annual prune. Must admit though, thought I'd over done it this year as it has looked decidedly brown for 6/7 weeks. However, closer inspection reveals there are thousands of tiny leaf buds about to explode into action.

Ain't nature wonderful?
