  • New Climbing Rose - Yellowing canes & leaves...

    Forum post by Fuzzypeach on 03 Jun 2012

    Good afternoon, I planted this climbing Iceberg rose about 5 months ago and I've noticed the canes are yellowing at the ends. The lower leaves are also starting to yellow now and I'm concerned that there's a problem. Any ideas anyone? Read more..

  • Re: Pruning Spiraea Arguta

    Forum post by Fuzzypeach on 29 Apr 2012

    Hi Madmuncher, Thanks very much for you reply, that's really helped. It is in a gravel border, planted through weed membrane with gravel on top. As well as a lack of feeding and pruning, is it possible it's also in the wrong position? It's south east facing but the house prevents it from getting any real sun.. It gets plenty of light but as far as direct sunlight goes it probably only gets an couple of hours each morning. What do you think? Read more..

  • Pruning Spiraea Arguta

    Forum post by Fuzzypeach on 28 Apr 2012

    Hi, This Spiraea Arguta is approximately 5" tall by 5" wide and although I am not too bothered by the size of it, I am disappointed as it's hardly flowered. I believe it hasn't been pruned in the past and this could have something to do with it from what I've read. Thing is, I've looked at advice online that tells me to prune a third of the 'oldest stems' down to the ground but I'm not sure which ones they are! Would it be safe to say that the thickest are the Read more..

  • What's this lovely little thing then?

    Forum post by Fuzzypeach on 19 Mar 2012

    Hi, I spotted this on a rough little bank near to where I live and I liked it so much that I thought I'd get one. Trouble is, I don't know what it is! Any ideas anyone? Thanks in advance. Read more..

    Forum post by Fuzzypeach on 10 Jan 2012

    Hi jonjon, Many thanks for your reply! That's just the answer that I was hoping for. I would hate to get to the summer and not be able to see any of the plants that I love so much blooming in my garden! Fingers crossed that they get going before then. Thanks again. Read more..

  • Azaleas, Lilies and Peonies - When's the best time to plant?

    Forum post by Fuzzypeach on 07 Jan 2012

    Hi, I have recently moved into a new house and I'd very much like to plant some of my favourite plants/bulbs into the garden this year. I love Lilies, Peonies and Azaleas but as a new gardener, I am unsure when I should plant these out... I have looked at various websites but I can't seem to find definitive answers. If someone could please advise me, I would be most grateful. Many thanks, Fuzzypeach. Read more..

  • What's wrong with our Astrantia?

    Forum post by Fuzzypeach on 02 Jul 2011

    Hi, I noticed this on the leaves a month or so ago and cut off all of the affected leaves but it's now present on even more of the leaves so I am a little concerned. As a new gardener, I've not come across anything like this before so I haven't a clue what it could be or whether I need to dispose of the plant so it does not spread... Your advice would be most welcome! Read more..

  • Re: Another hardy geranium?

    Forum post by Fuzzypeach on 07 Jun 2011

    Thank you so much for your response and your very kind offer. I still can't believe it myself but I saw your message this morning and was considering asking someone for a piece as you suggested.. Unbelievably, I was driving to the doctors just an hour ago and I noticed a large and quite beautiful clump of it by the side of the road!!! I have just grabbed a piece on my way home and it's in the garden already! I'm very excited about it. I just hope it takes now. Thanks again! What lovely Read more..

  • Another hardy geranium?

    Forum post by Fuzzypeach on 06 Jun 2011

    Hi, I am keen to find out what this plant is as I've seen it everywhere over the last few weeks (and I've got to quite like it!) Although it looks quite blue in my photo, it's actually more of a purple colour. The blooms are quite large and I would say they're just under 2" across. Based on another post that was kindly answered recently, I would guess that it's a type of hardy geranium but I'd like to find out what it is so I can get one of my own. I have been hoping Read more..
