Talkback: Ants

I also love the red rum joke.  I personally do not see the massive issue with Ants.  I too have had a lot of them outside, red and black.  I just give pots a good soaking a few times at first and then a few more over for a couple of days that gets rid of them.  Red ants aren't an issue, the best thing to do is not disturb the nest and they wont disturb you.

After researching Ants in the lawn and borders, it is very difficult to get rid of them

any suggestions

to make it cheaper, ask your neighbours for cutting or seeds from their plants too.  Maybe after the first meeting 

\Good luck

Can anyone help identify this plant?

T & M OFFER FOR MAY

Posted: 06/08/2012 at 20:02

I experienced the same as most, I could not believe my eyes when they arrived.  I complained to T&M to cancel the order, they refunded my money and said that they would send them - as they did.  They were very small but after potting on, they are all coming along very well.

I also ordered the black perennials collection which after a two month delay arrived (after constant emailing) only to not be the black collection because 6 out of the 9 plants were substitutes.  I did get £10 in vouchers for the inconvenience.

All in all - I'm not over the moon with T&M and would hastedly use them again

 It grows about 80cm and self seeds, this is a seedling from my nans garden, but she has it growing in the soil and in the cracks between her house and path.

The leaves are green and the flowers stand tall and are daisy like, pale pink in colour.

Thanks in anticipation.

One of my cordyline's is filling with water in the core, is this normal?  If not how can I stop this happening, I'm concerned thatit might rot.
