Peter's Outbox

It is indeed, TT. Now linked to the plant my garden :o)

I think the 'porch' is bigger than most greenhouses :o)

Thanks David :o)

Hi folks, just wanted to poke my nose in here as it looks like things are getting a bit heated and I'd like to avoid it getting personal - please :o)

Thanks again folks, you're welcome :o)

Thanks everyone :o)

BScott - We want to keep the blog options limited at the moment. Blogs about hallowe'en etc... should go under 'other'; I think 'seasonal' could cause confusion, since most of what we do in the garden is seasonal :o)

I can't take credit for it, Tate. It was at Hampton Court flower show earlier this year - but yes, a really nice garden :o)

You're welcome again, Mad. I bet Carol gets to pick what she talks about - either that or she just loves everything :o)

Your photo of the grass shows it off well, Louise :o)

You're welcome :o)

I find writing the lists interesting - I have a nosey around and see how many people are growing the plants :o)

Hi Bob, I'm not sure how common it is but Toby was saying they can bloom and be out again in time for sowing the area with a crop next spring/early summer.

I might try it too :o)

You're welcome :o)

Good luck with both methods, Drc. You haven't been waiting 2 years for the council bin have you? Ours came in weeks.

I've also read that egg shells don't break down, Spritz. Ours go in the bin. Midnight patrols with a torch is my defence against slugs & snails - not too bad with a small garden.

Hi Tate, Gorgeous aren't they :o)

I've just found the planting list for this garden. It says Lupinus ‘Masterpiece’ (TBC) - I'm assuming it's the cultivar that is TBC.

Hi Lily, I hope I haven't cost you too much time :o)

Hi RKDA,
I've had exactly the same this year (although spotted earlier) I think we're planning on making green tomato chutney :o)

They're attractive trees aren't they, and some lovely colours.

No smileys just yet I'm afraid, it's on the list though.

Next door have pots on their fence and I've been thinking about that too. The lawn is currently off limits - I have been warned :o)

Hi Balcony,

Glad you like the improved PMs :o)

We've had a few requests for smileys and it's on the list of things to consider but we have no immediate plans to add them.

Thanks also for feedback on screens with lots of comments, I think that's something we'll need to look at and I've added it to our list.

Would you mind sending us any other feedback using the 'contact us' screen (link at the bottom of every page). It makes it easier for us to manage the requests :o)

Thanks again for the feedback.

Hi Sid,
I didn't note what he was using but quite a few places sell green manure seeds online - I've just added them here :o)...
www.growsonyou.com/shop/pg/453

I didn't note what he was using I'm afraid.

Glad it's helpful, Sid :o)

I only noticed the patch in Joe's allotment that he was sowing green manure on. He made quite a fuss about it at the start to go and change it now, will have to check next time.

I was wondering the same thing Sid, I guess they all go to Greenacre from their separate homes and have to film it then?

Hi Clarice, I've only been to RHS Wisley and definitely find the GW bits more interesting when I recognise areas.

A robot gardener, hehe. I like Alys, she's a bit quirky; I know what you mean about Carol, I think she's my favourite of the four - just so enthusiastic.

Very wet, Hywel :o) It's been lovely here too for the last few days.

Liily, Clarice, if you go here, you'll see GW listed: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/g/

Hope it's useful :o)

You're welcome :o)

Thanks everyone, I'll go hunting for Jeyes this week.

As you say, AmbleAlice, it's not the end of the world if I need to buy more, the canes can always make kindling for my chiminea :o)

Bertie, I took the entire plants out - I was being very unobservant and they were quite badly affected by blight, beyond recovery.

Thanks bulbaholic, I have grown broad beans this year which need canes but I cut the ones I used for toms too short for that. What I grow changes form year to year so I'll bear in mind that they'd be better used on other plants next year.

It seems to be the weather, PennyFarthing, loads of people had it last year and I think this year too - too much rain.

Thanks again for all your help folks :o)

Hi Lily2, if you're in the UK you can catch up on GW using iPlayer on the BBC website - most programmes are available to watch online for 7 days after they're broadcast normally.

Thanks Sanbaz & GG :o)

I'm keeping it in the pot for now, it seems quite happy and as we're in a rented house it means it can come with us if we need to move.

Glad you like the changes :o)

Thanks Sanbaz :o)

Thanks David :o)
