christmas tree

Posted: 03/12/2012 at 16:07

10 years ago I bought a little christmas tree in a pot for £6 ,its the best christmas tree but I ever had.I feed it and water all through the year and have just transplanted it to another pot for this year.I also rescued another from outside house that had dumped the tree in hopes the ash bin men would take it ,a great pity so many people do this to perfectly healthy tree.I took it home after my shift and nursed it back to being loved and also use that tree at Christmas too.Its a crime to chop down so many trees just for a few weeks or throw out rooted trees.I know some are recycled through for example the zoo for what ever,but I cant help thinking what a shame ,what waste,and yet as well as re-using your saving a fortune.so my two trees will be going on display soon......merry Christmas.

I think I would wait until spring now,I only say this as I think the hard frost might effect it but you could if you thought it sheltered enough.

as I am sure you know laburnum seeds are very poisonous when eaten,small children are often tempted to eat them as they look like pea pods.they are very deadly.

My best buy was six cyclamen that were being sold off for a pound,they looked very poorly but once outside they recovered and now are still blooming.

I have one which I clip in the spring /summer into a ball shape ,its now about 5ft and that's how I would like it to stay.you have to shape it buy taking out the lower branches and giving it a clip into shape.

Please fill this in!

there has been a increase in garden theft around here recently ,especially sheds with bikes,they seem to watch who has a good valuable bike and brake in.My neighbour had his bike broken into 3 times in a row,( yes he was silly to replace them so soon).but also we have thefts of pots(expensive ones) and even plants!I never put anything of worth out the front because if it moves its gone!

best to plant them out when they are green (when they have finished flowering) they will multiply better.

Help please

you need pigs to root it up,the bracken that is,depending on how big an area we are talking about,and a friendly farmer to loan you a couple.,or its a dig it out effort,weedkiller no! Be Careful as bracken often hides ticks which if they attach to you will give limes disease.

Please fill this in!
