Old Glass Shop Display Cabinets
Just ordered a greenhouse and waiting for it to arrive when I saw 2x Old Glass Shop Display Cabinets being offered for sale (£50 for the pair) locally on Fb Marketplace.

Blueberry pest
My blueberry bushes were coming along a treat this year, then over the past week something has stripped nearly all the leaves off. I think they’ve eaten the berries too as the crop is virtually non existent (about 10 days ago they had a goodly crop of berries). What is it and what do I do now? First treat them for the…

Replacements for rose bushes
Ok so I have seven rose bushes, hybrid tea types, in my front garden planted by previous owners. They appear very old and may even date to when the road was laid out in 1949. Anyway each year I prune them in the late winter and try to keep them healthy by spraying against blackspot, but invariably I miss some treatments..…

UK Frost, Hardiness Zones & Sowing Dates
Thought I'd start a new thread on these subjects rather than derail the other long running threads. Links to calendars, monthly to do lists & zone maps are most welcome as is the discussion of how helpful the H zoning system actually is (and is there confusion between the USDA system as applied to the UK versus the RHS…

Best evergreen near railway track - Help!
Hi all, We recently bought a house and at the end of the garden we have a railway line. This is about 3-4 metres back from our fence, up a bank about 2m high.

Raised bed question.
We moved into our new house with a lovely garden. Efforts thus far have gone on general garden maintenance and the house. However, I really want to get back to growing my own veg, which I’ve always done in pots. However, the new house has a big greenhouse and a decent sized raised bed. However, the raised bed is super…

Only asking as our sunflowers…
