You're right - they do look like two different plants.

If you were an amphibian, would you want to live here?

Plant lots of lush plants in the garden around the pond to give cover to the frogs, toads and newts visiting the pond, and giving them somewhere cool to hide in the heat of the day 

Tomatoe leave have grey marks on them

Yes, it sounds to me like scorch - try to keep the water off the leaves when watering - damp leaves are very susceptible to blight and other nasty conditions.

No, I don't think it's ground elder either - I think it may be Alexanders http://wildflowerfinder.org.uk/Flowers/A/Alexanders/Alexanders.htm - rub the leaves and see if they smell a bit like celery.

Evening all.

its been interesting reading the posts. This is my first posting so I hope not to bore you all. We have recently moved to a nehose use with a nice sized garden. It is laid to lawn which is very mossy. We've scarified & treated it and its looking better. There is much to do, all of the shrubs are overgrown and need cutting right back. 

Im so looking forward to getting this done.

Welcome Jess - nice to meet new people on here  If you're talking about gardening (or even cake) you're highly unlikely to bore us 

Looking forward to finding out more about your garden.

Hello, we're home .

OH has just mowed the front lawn, and I've just potted up some shade-lovers donated by Nutcutlet - I've totally forgotten the names except one was a hardy geranium and one had a flower a bit like a reflexed borage, and the other was woodruff.  I've also got some lovely ' very specials' including a baby 'Molly the Witch' .  

Yesterday we went to a scarecrow festival in the very pretty village of Uffington, and of course there was a plant stall so I caved in and bought a Hosta variegata undulata (which I shall keep in a pot) and an Echinops Veitch's Blue for the bees.

 This morning, on the way to visit Nutcutlet, we stopped off in Market Deeping at a roadside plant stall to beat all roadside plant stalls - within a few minutes the owner was showing me around her back garden, introducing me to her cats and finding special shadelovers for my garden - as the car was almost full to bursting I only bought one plant, a Lamium orvala with lovely crushed raspberry coloured flowers http://www.bluebellcottage.co.uk/plants/LAM100-Lamium-orvala but I shall be calling in again next time we visit MIL.  The owner even offered to water my plants when we go away on holiday - until she discovered we live 80 miles away.  She had hundreds of pots of cuttings and seedlings, some very choice plants at bargain prices - anyone in the area should visit - it's near Tescos in Market Deeping.

You could always offer them on Freecycle - maybe someone would like them to make a rockery?
