The plant in my avatar is flowering. I thought it was an overgrown cystus, and may well be, but I want to know if it flowers every year or dies off like yucca?

Rules of thumb for understanding Nature Number one, drop the word "know " when talking about plants. In all living things growth and reproduction run parallel. There are many instances of twists an turns and overlaps but for clarity think of two paths. There are two sorts of cell - germ cells and soma cells, there must have been a lot of research done since I picked up that information, it clouds the issue, think of germ cells as motor cells and soma cells as the rest. The motor cells are

I wanted notification for the front gardens thread, but having posted to three other threads I am now getting email notifications from all of them. What did I do wrong in the first place? to stop them I have tried the link at the bottom which leads to an unavailable web page. I do not mind getting all the emails, they keep the messenger system on its toes.

When I first set up this net connect, three months ago, one of the first links I followed was about canker and chestnut trees. For 15 years now we have had the chestnut scale rampant in our area. As the chestnut scale is a living scale insect I presume it pierces, sucks and eliminates. Now we have cankers in the trees - cankers generally are a result of reaction to damage or toxins. Would the two be connected in any way? Fifteen years ago, when it first occurred, the schoolkids were flogging them

Are those nodules surrounding a grub or a reaction to being chewed? If its the grub, I think its because as I pull the affected plants up the nodules get left behind - all I ever see are the brownish bits as illustrated just below the radish, so the grubs are not destroyed. I watched the video - How did they get the straight lines of lime and are they like that because the lime reacts with the a--?--ox or because it was done for the camera?

Original posting - Russian has a driveway, which means cars and people getting in and out. I have a back door area to plant. Our postings overlap at looking neat, i.e. neither bare nor straggly, in winter.... As far as I`m concerned my planting will have to withstand being trodden on occasionally as well. I think that maybe is why roses have not been mentioned. I remember now the golden honeysuckle I`ve seen is a variety of L.pileata.

Thanks Boggy. As long as the root system is known to be normal for the perennials, the annual sweet peas have no such problems, it will be poor cultivation and an overdose of pests. There`s a little seedling growing which is suffering the same fate I fear. It looked so healthy until I picked it up from the ground and tucked it into the supports - it`s being eaten by something, and it will be that same something that killed off its parent. Roots had nothing to do with it.

I waited to see what the others came up with - your `any ideas` question had me thinking of a) trodden on b) rolled over by a snowball c) peed on by the local dogs, and in this weather, frozen d) general waterlogging etc as picked up by the experts.
