Oh dear, there must be a answer to this,perhaps you could have a word with them cus surely they can here it too!

Its a bit like having cockrols in the back garden in a council estate,which is not allowelled within a certian distanct and its called noise pollution! 

Why should you be subjected to misery!

Hi Hollie Hock, if not the beep who

Derek

It is run my Gardeners World Magazine who pay the BBC a fee for use of the name

Hi Derek, it's run by the Gardeners World franchise,who ever they might be. That is why there are adverts and commercial offers on here. Something that you would never get on a BBC site. The only link to the BBC I can see is the that happen to air the programme with the same name.

Eh? I don't really junderstand the last three entries. Are you saying that this website has nothing to do with Gardeners' World. That does make sense since the Insiders website seems to be repeating some things unnecessarily.

There a lot of magazines like this-Top Gear,Good Food etc-all use the BBC name-but are not run by the BBC-nor nowadays is The Radio Times .

As has been said they pay a fee for the use of the name

Another illusion bites the dust!

GG, it's just the running of them doesn't have anything to do with the BBC.

HI,. educated , thanks,hollie hock Sotongeoff

Derek

you've got neighbours - well my next-door-but-one neighbour has planted a two storey bungalow (!) at the end of the garden and a double garage with a pitched roof half way down - great excuse to grow something reeeeelly tall to obscure that view!  Come on now - any ideas?

Hello again, granny. How much light have they blocked?

Leylandii 

how about very tall sun flowers or leylandii or erect a 10 foot high trellis and grow clematis Montana or Rubens .

Derek

definitely not Rosa carriola.

No light from me, Grandma - a lot from my nice neighbours. Just really spoiled my lovely open views - think I'll just let the holly hedge let rip - at least that will be popular with the birds.  House building of course not done by a real person - a developer making money - has built a 5 bedroom housse with a tiny walled backyard at the front of the plot and this "bungalow" at the back....always used to think a bungalow was single story! hey ho!

Cheers GG

Rosa, you wicked girl!

I like pergolas with big plants piled up on them. They don't take too much light or goodness from the soil but they do provide good privacy and they can be beautiful in their own right. Obviously, patience is needed, thogh some plants grow pretty fast. I planted a rampant climbing rose on mine less than two years ago and it has already reached the roof. I also have jasmines and clematis Jackmanii superba.

Thought I wouldn't have a rant. BUT...

People expect instant success in their gardens. This started with the make over shows and continues. There are some plants that do not go 'goody' I am in the soil I will grow straight away. Some plants like to think about it once they feel the soil around them and may take a couple of months to show life - seeds are the same

, I have just sown some that take 1-2 months to germinate

Garlic is the same - it needs time to think about growing especially as it has to be frosted first,, It doesn't want to get its new shoots cold

Plants/gardens even lawns take time to grow and give their benefits

Tina, as the owner of two small dogs which like nothing better than an excuse fpor a good yap, I am deeply aware that it is the responsibility of the owner to shut the little @*#**!s up. (The symbols stand for 'delightful creatures' of course). You are entitled to complain to the council and ask for anonymity.
