Gardening survey,
Hi everyone, My name is Steve and i'm currently carrying out some research in the field of vegetable gardening, in order to create a new and exciting ebook. I was wondering if you would go to this site:- http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?s...lmCOe19A_3d_3d and answer the one simple question. I will give you the product free and a mention in the book once it is finished. All your help is very much appreciated. Many thanks, Steve. |

We are enjoying global warming a daily max of 23C for days now and a nice sea breeze. It can't last. The spring bulbs didn't. -- Martin The weather is lovely here also but it's very breezy today. I finallt pricked out my plants into trays yesterday although the last frosts have still got a week or so to go before I would even consider planting anything out. Still not warm enough to swim though as the pool remains unheated until the solar panels are fitted I went for a look for primroses in some land we own opposite our house, after thrashing my way through nettles etc., I finally found a huge area absolutely covered in them. They were all yellow and with long tall stalks, not like the little ones that I put into pots, any idea what they are called? Judith |

We made 3 attempts buying 19 plants from Bakker each time. Of the 57 plants we bought only 4 grew the others were DOA. Of the four that grew one didn't keep it's dry leaves in winter - the hornbeam. We have recently tried again using a different garden centre, this time much more successfully, other than that the garden centre wouldn't give us a refund on the plants that turned out to be dead " You should have brought them back earlier" It's a bit hard to know if the plants are dead or not until spring arrives. Anyway in both batches we have a hornbeam masquerading as a beech tree. -- Martin They wouldn't give you your money back? Bad service, no wonder you didn't go back. Thanks for the explanation.
