Finding conflicting heights of Leucothoe axillaris 'Curly Red'

Posted: 27/04/2013 at 22:59

BBC site says 150cm, another says 90cm, and another says 60cm

Can anyone help me out here? I want to plant mine but without knowing its height I can't really plant it.

Also on the label with the pant there is no info of its height..

@Lazy gardener

I suppose I did, but wasn't sure if it was a disease or not

I have put two in a hanging basket where it gets 2 hours max in the sun and the rest in shade. Unfortunatly one of the begonias roots had rotted when I got it out where it was planted. Fingers crossed they live now.

Would it hurt to give them some tomato feed to boost them up?

Being the not so expert gardener and forgetful to check its preferences, I  put my begonias in full glare of the sun which I now know a few don't like..

Here are my 3 begonias http://imgur.com/rnVBg92

I put them in multi purpose compost. They are getting most of direct sunlight through the day.

 

3 x 2 sheds

Hey all!

Atm we have one of those plastic wide box storage units. Its a right mess with everything thrown in! The plastic one sotongeoff linked is too small. Bike sheds are wide, and I'm looking to keep the width to a minimum.

Zoomer44 I'm talking feet (which I always do).

Well artjak my Grandad can build things, but I'm unsure if he could make it look good.

Palaisglide thanks for the info. I'll keep that in mind. However where do these posts go? Funny enough I found a shed the size I want with a green roof but I can't see the extra bits holding it up? Here is the image http://emmabond.typepad.com/.a/6a010536f1c9e7970c01156f758396970c-800wi

Growing lupins

Hey all, I checked the two pests you mention but they're too thick. These worms were very thin. Anyway, I will see about pouring boiling water in the compost beforehand to kill off any stray pests just to be on the safe side!

Can't recall either if I used compost fresh or old.

Hey all. Last year I tried growing some lupin seeds in the greenhouse, but they all died no matter what size pot they were in. They'd grow to 1 inch then die. I pulled one up the once and found some kind of tiny worm (about a quarter of an inch) on the root. Don't know if it had damaged it enough so it'd die.

I planted them in compost but I can't remember which type.

Looking to grow the larger variety for the cottage garden section in my garden

Whats your plans for the garden this year?

Since the house I moved in wasn't that long ago, the garden is in need of sprucing up! The greenhouse will be full to the brim with seedlings. Can't say the same for my purse haha.

Hi everyone, new person here

I'm looking for a 3 x 2 wooden shed, but I can only find them online. I would much prefer to go into a store in Birmingham and look at it before purchasing (plus the fact I don't know which website is best to order from)

 

In the future I'm looking at maybe adding a green roof to it
