Hi Everyone I am new here, and would like to Introduce myself. I am not sure if I am doing it in the correct place, apologies if not. I live in South Wales with my husband and 2 daughters, 15yrs and 9yrs old. We have a medium size garden, and I have

planted them into my garden. They have all done well and have a small amount of fruit coming (I have thinned out the fruit on the apple). What I would like to know is how and when I should summer prune either or all of the trees. The plum especially has

toms with lots of fruit. They grew into 4' plum tomatoes plants that tasted yucky. hah - I remember buying a bunch of 'dwarf' gladioli corms for the front garden - spectacular, but enormous! I grew Maskotka last year, outdoors,  and they were very good

right to the top edge so any creatures that fall in can climb back out - I've seen mice and even a hedgehog drowned in such containers (even a washing up basin someone had used once). Please can anyone help.  We put a pond in our medium sized garden last

away at them. I find certain frequencies cut through to my hearing, the big cluncky wooden ones I don't notice, the tiny tinckley ones are ok too it's the medium metal ones which seem to penetrate my hearing, I don't have any in the garden not much

The last few years I have grown a vegetable plot in my garden  which is about 3-4m wide by about 11-12 m long.However this year I have not grown anything at all apart from clover as a green manure over winter. Last weekend I dug the land over

the medium too acid for the worms. I put banana skins in, but some advise against this as they might attract rodents. Yes you can add manure - I don't think anyone would advise against that! Mixing the compost, in my understanding, improves aeration

in the garden I will have a go and try and make a pond would it do better if I dug a hole and put the bath in the hole and put large stones round the bath, it is not a large bath maybe a medium one oval 22ins X17ins and 8ins deep, do I put stones in the bottom

that will grow in a container - we are talking here of 45cm wide, also carrots, potatoes, beetroot (attractive with their leaves) In a sunny spot you can grow sweet pepper and chille, again a good sized container.  Years ago in a much smaller garden, I used

household setting (I have a medium sized garden with raised beds for veg and lots of lawn and flower/shrub areas) I'm only starting off the summer season and they are already way ahead.  Weejenny, I agree with your month difference.  But it also makes our
