Mummymp sounds very angry.
Mind you I think she has a right to be.
Can you just say no....?
Fairygirl I too have issues with people in personnel or customer care departments who show no desire whatsoever in caring for customers. Your magic wand not working?

Dove, for a bright yellow mound that's hard to beat have you considered campanula dicksons gold? Blue flowers in May/June too. Never burns or suffers the idiosynchracies of the yellow Heucheras. Perfectly hardy and evergreen and I have shares in every sale!

Melted marshmallow in my soil??!!

I vaguely remember a similar thread to this before. Can anyone recall?
Was it dumped cavity foam insulation?
Jalexa, does it dig out easily?
I can't think of anything sinister though
Maybe enquire at builders merchants and take sample with you

Looking for plant suggestions

Punkdoc, yep I think I agree with you
If you like yellow elder Check out Sutherland Gold. The new shoots are coppery orange with bright yellow summer leaves. I think it's better than plumosa Aurea....I grow both..it is supposed to be an improved version.

Dicentra spec alba is a beauty dove. I prefer it the pink/white and red/white
Lime Ricky does look awful in sun and if dried out

encouragement for azaleas

A few years back one of my azaleas did not flower which surprised me as it had loads of buds earlier.
It was attacked by snails. Never happened before or since.
I just leave a few pellets around the bush each hear now.
Don't let them dry out during g summer either and ericaceous feed or sequestered iron may help

It's their natural style jack
Some varieties though are upright and others not
Just choose those varieties that are more upright.
I grow quite a number of them......many,of,them in full bloom now.....
You can prune for,shape I guess.....as I do for many,of my plants....but azaleas, Rhodos etc are best not pruned and allowed to grow as they naturally would
They tend to become quite rounded in time

Where have all the hostas gone?

Hiha Shirley, best outside now I think. Some varieties are slower than others
I have sum n substance with leaves 5" long now but most others barely showing,shoots. But they will grow fast now

Hiya. Cris
Just posted to another Cornish guy on the forum.....we are taking over!
I tried but just can't do it.
Do they take well in pots of compost after?
Will try again. Thanks
