  • When to plant jasmine?

    Forum post by Claire on 20 Aug 2012

    I would like to grow a scented jasmine along the path to my flat. When is best to do it? Should I do it now so it can establish itself before the new year, or wait until spring? The path is quite shaded - will jasmine be OK without a lot of direct sun? Thank you! Read more..

  • Hydrangea alert!

    Forum post by Claire on 20 Aug 2012

    I discovered gardening roughly 2 months ago. I bought a beautiful blue/pink hydrangea that thrived in a pot on my balcony for about 1 month, so much so that I "set it free" in the garden of my flat so it could spread out. It has been in the ground about 2 weeks and a lot of the petals are turning brown/green. Do I need to be worried? It is in a reasonably shaded spot, plenty of space, I'm watering it every day, fed it once since putting it in the ground. Any hints/ tips very gratefully Read more..

    Thanks so much - that is really helpful. I haven't a clue (yet) so the poor thing could be suffering any number of assaults. Do you think the brown petals mean some kind of distress then? I just need to work out what it is? Yes, the soil around the area it was dug into is very compacted and hard. Should I dig it all up a bit? Read more..
