April in Your Garden

 very wet and windy here in york ,had to go out in the garden as my next door

neighbours fence had come down right on top of my jewel garden everything flattened and broken ,his guttering down as well so all the rain flooded my potting shed .

oh happy days maybe there is a god for us gardeners ,wish he would show us some good weather so much to do .

Harrogate Spring Show - 2012

yes i had the pleasure of the flower show on fri as well .although as every year i thoroughly enjoyed it ,i didnt think there was as many traders as the norm ,some of the good old favorites were missing ,not as good as previous years in my opinion .

Can someone tell me what this is please

yes agree 1st is a honeysuckle and 2nd is a cotoneaster  good for you getting rid of the dreaded leylindii .

Compost, they reckon !!!

i have had the same problem with all the named brands as well as unbranded names ,

the best one so far was bought from of all places the poundland £1 abag for 40ltrs i only got 1 just as a top up but to my surprise it was real good .

i asked at castle howard as to what the problem was i was informed eu regulations .

i can't repeat my answer to that .!!!!!!!
