Heat Mats

Was thinking of getting one so just wondered what your thoughts/experiences were?

I could get a heated prop but thought the mat may be a bit more flexible?

  Evergreen hedge
Posted by: Jimny14 - 29-12-2021, 05:14 PM - Replies (7)

I have been wishing my parents new house over Christmas and have got to talking to them about plans (they are starting to build a new house on the plot) for the garden. There are some existing hedges which are mainly hawthorn which need laying so that's a job for the next few weeks. 
There are also some hedges used for screening off which they'd like to make more private. From what I could see there was a selection of dogwood (different colours) the occasional birch tree and some other deciduous shrubby things in this screen they've inherited. It is patchy in parts and mum would like to fill it out with some evergreens to give it a bit more privacy during winter. She was originally considering filling the gaps with laurel but I thought it would look odd to have such informal hedging interspersed with laurel blocks. Does anyone have any suggestions for some evergreen interest which is quite informal? Or is it a case of rip it out and start again?

I have some Green Tomato seeds that I'll never grow! They just don't look right in a salad!
They're a few years old but tomatoes seem to stay viable for years. If anyone wants to grow them, post on here.

Just being very nosy. What’s everyone having for Christmas dinner?
We’re having the last of our home reared chickens with roasted potatoes, roasted tromboncino,  sprouts, carrots, kale runner beans and sage & onion stuffing. 
All veggies are home grown except the spuds.

  Dittany
Posted by: Moth - 24-12-2021, 09:29 AM - Replies (7)

Does anyone grow dictamnus fraxinella? AKA gas plant, burning bush, dittany.  I came across it in an old gardening book and I've not heard of it before. It seems like it would be easy to grow, and I see Chiltern have seeds. I'd quite like to give it a go, but if it doesn't look much, or is a thug, or has some other disability, I wouldn't want it.
