Busy-Lizzie

What's the weather like in your area?

Turned out quite nice, 14°.

advice for newbie

Clematis is hardy so it should be fine.

Growing Garlic

jon cob, I have friends who grow garlic very successfully but they don't do this forum, so I gave their advice as I don't grow it as I'm not that keen on it.

Gardeners World new season

That was one of the nice things about Geoff Hamilton, he showed how to make things on a low budget for the ordinary gardener.

Fork Handles

Morning all. Which way is the wind blowing Bunny? Back to front I hope. 3° drizzle here. Friends coming to lunch.

Fork Handles

I asked Bunny her name some time ago and told her I was Liz because she called me "Busy". She didn't respond then, but she doesn't call me Busy any more!

Goodnight all. Bedtime. (In this case it's a night hat, not Father Christmas.)

bindweed, alder, buttercups, ivy

I once used weedkiller for paddocks from a farm suppliers. I had to leave the horses off for a minimum of 2 weeks. However, it killed wildflowers as well and the buttercups were more resistant, so I stopped using it. Buttercups are mildly toxic to horses, but they don't eat them. They will be worse in a wet year and not so bad in a dry year.

Summer flowering evergreen Clematis

It looks like honeysuckle to me too. Clematis Armandii has longer leaves.

Your Favourite Tools

I like my little hand fork for weed and loosening the surface of the soil, but they don't seem to sell them any more here.
