Can you heavily cut back a holly bush?
Thu, 29 Oct 2009 11:14:35 +0000
Hello.
I have just bought my first house and on the boundary with a neighbour,
they have a large bulbous mature holly bush that is growing onto my
driveway by about 2-3 foot.
The main trunk of the holly brush is pretty much on the boundary so if
i cut it right back off my driveway i get the feeling it would ...

Rhododendrons and rusty things
Thu, 29 Oct 2009 13:50:11 +0100
Is the iron beneficial to rhododendrons in rusting objects like nails?
Just curious, I had a handful of rusty nails and rather than putting
them in the rubbish wondered if such plants would benefit from them
being scattered at the base?

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 12:25:42 -0000
Hi All
I have got a pyracantha, which I have had for many years and it is growing
very well, however although it flowers it dosn't seem to get many
berries on it.
Does this plant need any special feeding or care to get lots of berries. I
have seen other peoples with loads on and it makes me wonder if I
am do ...

Chives question
Wed, 28 Oct 2009 08:52:38 -0700 (PDT)
Talking about herbs a few minutes ago reminded me that the chives are
now 2 years old and have made up into a sizeable clump. I want to
grow them in 2 positions, one for the flowers and one for cooking,
will half of the clump transplant well or should I start from scratch?
This gorgeous weather here, 27 degrees ...

OT Mandarin ducks
Wed, 28 Oct 2009 14:57:57 +0000
I'm sort of thinking of giving someone a pair of these as a present.
But I have absolutely no idea how one would go about transporting them
to the Channel Islands. Can that be done, does anyone know?

ID please?
Wed, 28 Oct 2009 09:10:04 -0000
Hi all,
I nicked this flower/seed head from a bush in someone's garden last night.
The plant is about 8 feet tall and the owner doesn't know what it is, but
says it suckers readily, so I'm hopeful of getting a bit at some point,
although I'll keep it in a container just in case. I've only seen it in the
dar ...

My wife is Brazilian, and she is craving yams. Cannot buy them anywhere

Has anyone here successfully grown them in England? If so, how?

Trimming back bog primulas
Tue, 27 Oct 2009 18:55:46 +0000
I have a number of bog primulas (P. beesiana, p. bulleyana etc.) in my
bog garden that still have generous amounts of green leaf. When and by
how much should I trim them back before the winter, or should I just
let them die back naturally and tidy up the brown debris when they've
finally disappeared below ground?
