Plant 2

These look like something that may have come from the seeds, so I’m not pulling these up.

Edit...I just pulled up a dead stick and it seems to be stuck to these plants.
Maybe they were a tall thing?

Plant 1

These are like a carpet covering the floor.
I think I will leave these anyway, as they are fine and look ok.

Or will they stop the new plants coming through?
Hi guys,

I threw a few bags of wild meadow flowers a couple of years back on my old lawn I dug up.
The flowers have come back twice and I was happy with them and so were the bees 🙂🙂🙂

I’m just in the process of tidying up a bit and was wondering if anyone knows what these plants are and if they are weeds or whatever?

I’m unsure what to dig up and what to leave.
Some have appeared from nowhere last year and weren’t there the year before, like some huge fennel plants.
It’s lovely that new plants appear, even though I haven’t planted them.

I’ll post photos below as I go along to show what is growing now.

Thanks
Hi all,
Ive been taking a little bit of extra care of my houseplants and I’m going round them all one by one to see what help they need.

This one has been in a dreary corner in my north facing bathroom. Doesn’t get a lot of light, but still seems to be fine.

I was wondering if you guys think it’s ready for a pot up?
If so, do you recommend a deep pot or wider type? It’s spring here now, is that a good time? Anything else I could do to make it better for her?

Thanks in advance.

What region are you located in? How old is the tree? It looks alot like an Ash, but I would need to know more information, to be certian what species it is.



Hi, I am in South Wales, UK :)
The tree can't be any older than a few months. This time last year, everything in my pots died off, as we had a lot of unexpected sun and no rain. I have been going through my garden trying to resurrect and replace whatever I find. I don't know how this tree got into the pot, but I'd like to plant it somewhere.

I found this tree growing in an old pot.
Anyone know what it is?
I want to plant it somewhere in the woods or something. Where’s best for it?

Cheers

Me again 😂

So I bought these wildflower seeds so I could get some bees in my front garden. I dug is my lawn and sprinkled them all as evenly as I could. Obviously didn’t mix them up properly as you can see from my pics haha.

Anyway, I live in a terrace and all the other gardens have nice lawns etc. and now mine looks like an overgrown bunch of weeds 😂

I don’t really care and I’ve seen loads of bees already, so I’m happy, but I’d like to make it more visually pleasing if possible.

I am going to have a border on the left hand side which will be veg and I have a grape vine growing at the end, which I am getting a big trellis for next week.

So, how can I add more stuff to this to make it look better?
I would prefer wildflowers and not tulips or that kind of thing.
I also want to attract loads of insects, bees and butterflies too.

Thanks in advance 😊
Hi guys,

Here I have a cutting of a parrot plant (I believe it’s called).

It seems to be coming along healthily, but growing tall rather than bushy.

I have been pinching off the new nodes (if they are even called that) at the top to prevent further growth upwards, but I thought that would help other Ma sprout lower down.
Not happened yet.

Am I doing it right?

Cool!
The tree is on my dog walking route.
How do I know when the fruits are ready for picking?
Cheers 😊
