anything too deeply - especially plants like this violet that is making the effort to grow already.As I have said before I make a lot of compost here but there is never enough to mulch the whole garden so, every other year I buy a trailer load of the stuff

house and I did put the pots in large freezer bags so they did not get cold. I'm trying for the uptieht time to grow Basil. This time around about 3 seeds have germinated. At least they are still alive and have not died in the great damping off disaster

but how impossible are they to grow!? I have planted bulbs every year and think my total so far is one flower which the dog then trampled on!!The annoying thing is that I live bordering wet moorland so should have the perfect site for them as our garden

Hi guys, I'll get straight to the point, we have had a large (4ft) Scottish thistle growing in a quiet not used corner of our garden for a few years now. We have recently got serious about gardening and our garden. My wife now wants to get rid of it

a good purple dahlia, 'Orfeo' is another cactus type which goes well with 'Karma Lagoon', a water lily variety with striking violet petals. I like mixing different shapes of the same colour so I don't have to worry if they all go together.This year

(white with a mauve rim to the centre) and another from a cutting taken from a stand growing wild by the seashore of a West Cornwall fishing cove (pale mauve/violet with a dark mauve centre). Both spread to good size patches and have been in full bloom

, also called "Shoo Fly" and it really works! Planted in the greenhouse with my tomato plants it can grow very tall if I let it or keep it in a pot. Either way I have had no white fly etc on tomatoes or peppers and bonus is a pretty violet blue flower
