Gardening with Joey

[Joey66]

Hey @Joey66 do you have any tips for Roses? Particularly re-growing new ones?

Floribunda or Hybrid T ?
They need a clay heavy soil to succeed Hybrid T you print e back to 3 inches high on the outside branches removing some of the inner branches right back to lost air flow through the bush - ideal to do it now.....or when planting.....Prune to a out face node or shoot.
Floribunda Roses get taller so prune to 6 inches in the same fashion ....
Hybrid T roses have a better choice of varieties I o are the best for a smaller or average garden ......top dress or plant with bonemeal every 3 years as it is a great fertilizer for any rose

@Joey66 just about to start my herb garden.

Not the kind of herb @COYBL25 is thinking about, for culinary uses only.

What herbs can be grown together and which should be grown apart?

Tender herbs like Basil on your kitchen windowsill in good light hardier types in co tainers by your kitchen door for usage - if you plant mint beware all types you can plant in the garden but plant them still in a 6 inch pot or they will spread everywhere.....
I have a nice Chocolate Mint grown that way sunk in the soil choose herbs you will useful, specifically that you will use .,.. Rosemary, and Thyme are safe in the garden etc they are hardy - others you will have in containers will need winter protection.....

Rosemary I grow well,

sage, mint and oregano spread like wild fire, so I was thinking in pots.

parsley and thyme seem to do ok together

coriander is one I can’t seem to grow? Inside on the window or out in a pot or earth, they always seem to die off?

Chocolate mint ? Haven't heard of that before. Can it be used in cooking ?

Hi @Joey66 .My next door neighbour is gay, but is an avid gardener.He wants to know should he have Basil in the bush or up against the wall ? Hope you can help.

@Joey66 do you have any tips for preventing squirrels burying things in basil and mint pots?

 

[Joey66]

Never use them - they can clog up the camboius that creates the rooots

shoot them.......

Thing is, we have a French neighbour, and I worry today of all days, she may think we're re-enacting Agincourt. I wouldn't want a diplomatic incident, much less force her to catapult livestock at us.

Never use them - remember when taking a cutting it's the environment you create to rooot the plant a shaded area with a clear bin liner bag with a cane to make a tent in the greenhouse will create the humidity on soft leaved plants that then need spray daly and the bag replaced air tight weaning off on sight of grow and root .....
Tough leaved plants do not need a plastic bag just a glasshouse plus shade and constant spraying for humidity ....

Use rat poisen then ......or circle your plant with your urine in a circle around the area to mark a terrorty ........against the squirrel .....

Just put your underpants on the right way round and keep away from the wall

Coriander likes very dry conditions once established so cut back on watering it once it gets going......killing it with kindness maybe?

I fear my accuracy may waver during this crucial task and I could end up sprinkling the herbs. I'm not sure the ire from the wife would be any better than from the French lady next door.
