As if anyone needs telling....but severe weather warnings are out for
the south and south west. It's not sounding exactly balmy out there
now.

Re: To pee or not to pee?

In the States it is a crime to pull out your tally whacker in public or
in your own yard. It is considered an eye sore and what it produces is
now called dangerous bio-hazardous waste. I'll just stick to using
Miracle Grow.

Compost question
Thu, 12 Nov 2009 18:21:34 -0000
A.N.Other volunteered to get me some compost for my cuttings. They couldn't
find any specifically for cuttings and came back with John Innes number 1
and a warning for me not to moan if it was the wrong one. As if! I haven't
used this before and it was quite nice to do so. Carrying it about, not so
nice.

What shall I do about my cactus
Thu, 12 Nov 2009 17:20:05 +0000
I have a large cactus, a Mammillaria. It's about 2 ft long and 4 inches
diameter, and, typically of its type, it has keeled over and is
sprawling across the greenhouse bench.
My cactus collection is mainly of well behaved species sitting neatly in
pots, so this crawly thing spiralling around across the bench ...

leaf mould

the shed, full of lovely leaf mould.
Now, anyone know why I did this? What is the stuff for?
Thanks

Hello all,
Back in the 90s I grew a chilli pepper called Datil, from seed. I'd
like to grow it again, but can't find any seed to buy anywhere. Can
anyone help please? It's Capsicum Chinense.
Cheers,

After the sweep has been round he left a bag of soot.
Apparently it is regarded as having some degree of hazard!
?? Is it of any use in the garden?

Autumn gales
Thu, 12 Nov 2009 12:38:14 +0000
Just yesterday, as we drove to Hemerdon, near Plymouth, to have lunch
with friends, we remarked on how many of the trees were still holding
onto their leaves and that a lot are still very green. Well, I think
those that aren't green will be swiftly dealt with by today's weather!
It's pouring with rain and b ...
