This time of year, that ain't no box blight, that's box hedge caterpillars, trust me I have experience I have taken to using this, together with the pheromone traps show above It seems more effective than what I've been using before. You will need to spray them immediately and get the...

Where did you get the plugs ? My unmown front verge could do with some help :thumbsup:

Last of my spring woodland flowers, snowdrops, wood anemones and finally the bluebells as the trees come into full leaf

You're very good on these obscure ones :thumbsup:

My Acer obviously liked the conditions this year, it's now over 10ft high

The BHCC bloke got me once a few weeks ago, so I took your lead and added loads more posts to the four big white ones he somehow managed to mow around :facepalm: I think I've lost some of the early stuff as a result, but there's bits coming through now :thumbsup:

Looks to have lots of potential, but if you are limited in terms of what you can do physically and can afford it, getting someone to level and turf a large part of it may not be a bad idea (sod's law says that it will then turn dry and you'll have to water like buggery all summer © @Jack Straw...

I love driving through country roads this time of year and seeing huge areas of wood anemones. Going up to Hassocks in the trees on the left just before South downs nurseries, around Ditchling common (particularly the road off to chailey) completely wild and stunning :thumbsup: The brown...

Thanks for that, it explains so much of what I'm seeing. Some of the ones I have are forming huge clumps covering everything around them, whilst others are slowly and delicately pushing leaves and flowers up in between the remains of snowdrops, and tete a tete and the new leaves of bluebells and...

One for the wild flower experts. At the bottom of my garden under some trees I have wood anemones. However, looking at leaf shape and colour, it appears there may be 3 different varieties. Green thin leafed Brown thin leafed Green heavier leaved I always thought that wild wood anemones...

That's one of my Olives. With the price of Olive oil i'm thinking of starting a new business :wink:

Never in the field of leafless winter bargains, have so many, given so much, for so few. Sadly with my gardening abilities, it's a numbers game :wink:

With the help of @jevs we got to Acer palmatum dissectum but it was a bargain buy in the winter at a garden centre with no label and no leaf about 15 years ago, at about 3ft tall. Grew it in a pot for 5 years, planted out about 10 years ago, now about 8ft. It was taken on the West of the...

If we're posting pictures of Acers one of mine, summer and autumn

Four white posts, but the stupid sod managed to mow all round them. Luckily I don't think anything much had sprouted and appears to be coming through now. I may have to make additions :wink:

Are you growing yellow sticks out front this year :wink:

I feel guilty now. The rest of the Spinach went on the Pizza and those bits are sitting sadly on the chopping board :down:

Wasn't sure whether this should go on this thread or the restaurant one, but I know there's some serious horticulturists on here, so a bit left field : I've just made a home made pizza and whenever I buy fresh spinach, there's always some of this in it, anyone want to guess what it is ?

The painted stakes are already in (y) Have your solicitors details handy, just in case :wink:

Before the frost (not that I think it makes any difference as it's meant to be sown in Autumn) but I think the idea of absolutely scalping the grass was to give the seed a start when it warms up. Unfortunately the grass has then re-grown. The NSCer who advised me only lives round the corner so...
