Gardening with Joey

[Joey66]

Some good tips there Joey, thank you, ours unfortunately after thriving for last 3 years and going from around 30cm to a now 60 cm is browning all over and is in a clay soil so not ideal, it is in sun and is sheltered but i think it may be destined to be dug out.
It is around 20-30 feet from our property and neighbours so if it did survive it may be that it is too close so would eventually have to be removed. It does look like the Rabbits by de-barking it have killed it off tho. Bit of a shame but at the same time may be blessing if it ends up damaging property!

Another question for you my good man, we have a 4 year old Wisteria, until this year it hadnt bloomed/flowered at all but we did get blooms and very beautiful and long lived they were too but only 4 in total and this after a large "cutting back" advised by a neighbour but the blooms were only at the far extremes of the plant, if we do similar and cut it back hard this year, perhaps even harder than year before do you think this will result in blooms more widespread?

Cheers Mate

It's not an ideal garden plant TBH .... it may be stunted, because of hard baked soil - you could lift in carefully & replanted it in a massive mulched hole ....... bone meal for the roots is ideal in your mixture or liquid feed it when moist with a high Nitrogen Lan liquid fertilize 20 % nitrogen

Not too sure what you've grown there Sass. I presume that you've grown them from seed?

Some CBD and some THC cannabis plants. Unlike the UK, medical marijuana is legal in many states around the US so we have friends that grow them and every year they give us starter plants to put in my garden beds. So these babies will be given lots of love and in return I should get some nice buds later this summer

I've got some plants outside in pots but snails are getting in them, I'm told egg shells if you crush them and put them in the pots it's stops them, however I've no eggs so I'm wondering what about shells on the beach? If I crush them will that work?

Yes probably, you can do it with stones or wood chip, basically they don't like travelling over rough ground, you can also put some coffee grounds down as they don't like the taste!

Coffee grounds and egg shells don’t work on my slugs! @Joey66 do you know a deterrent for wasps? I’ve tried “the waspinator” vinegar, peppermint oil and soap and water but the little buggers are still invading my shed.

Saucers of mild beer works well easy to crawl into but to make them drown ..,.sloshed

Garlic is worth a go or even a bit of beer or next time you are at the garden centre get some copper tape

Come out at midnight and sprinkle them with salt.

Only Mild beer in saucers with enough to get them drunk, so they fall in the saucer & drown - place down in the evening they love only Mild beer though ....

….I accept to being a useless gardener but I took a few small cuttings from a climbing rose in my father-in-laws garden 3 summers ago and these have now sprouted up in 4 different places in mine.
