I would like to plant a Winter Jasmine against an east facing fence
which is in the shade of my house for all but the first few hours of
daylight every morning. Is it likely to be happy, or must I put it
somewhere else?

If it won't tolerate this position, is there anything else that would
give me some winter colour there? I am on the east coast of Scotland.

TIA

Steve

It should be happy in shade. Mine is growing up the north wall of the
house (ie in the shade all day every day of the year) and flowers all
through the winter, this year from late October with the last one or two
flowers still on it now.

Have to endorse that sentiment. we have just transferred one from a west
facing wall to the north facing wall of the house alongside one which is
doing very nicely thank you

My winter jasmine is on the north facing wall of my house (SE England).
It's been there now for over 10 years and is thriving despite lack of
sun and poor dry clay-chalk soil. It gets well pruned each Spring and
never gets fed, but puts on loads of new growth over the Summer and
gives masses of welcome colour during the Winter months.

Goodness, this is embarassing - almost as much as pointing out to a lady
that her skirts are caught up in her knickers.

Did you know that your sig is appearing at the /top/ of your replies? I
believe there is an option in Outlook Express to correct this.

Hope you don't mind me pointing this out.

I don't mind you pointing it out at all and you did it in a very nice way,
thank you. I am afraid that it is something to do with Outlook Express and
not being a computer wizz kidd I don't know what to do about it, except cut
everything to the bone.

(Don't want to 'cut the bone', only just getting over the chest bone and
ribs being cut out for Heart Surgery :-))

Best wishes

Ah, probably explains your rather intemperate posts earlier. To
understand is to forgive.


As for the sig problem - the following is based on Windows Mail - but it
should also work for OE.
What you need to do is to go to Tools | Options | Advanced
Tick the box for
'Insert signature at bottom of a reply"

And you may also want to consider ticking the
"Compose reply at the bottom of the original message"
as that will position your cursor in the 'proper' place for a reply -
but as that will aslo affect your ordinary mail replies, you may prefer
to do it manually for usenet posts

Hope this helps.

Thanks a lot but regret I do not have the'Advanced' after the 'Options' tag
pressed :-((

Tried in other places but not sure I have the confidence to 'experiment'

East facing will be fine, I had one in Norwich, east facing, it was
wonderful. I miss some of my plants from there but the climate where
I live now is a different matter altogether, it's a bit hit and miss.

Thanks to everybody. Not only were the answers quick, they also said
what I wanted to hear.
