The Plants & Garden Advise Thread.

Just ask chaps & chapettes.

 

Forgive my ignorance but .......ask what??

 

any questions about plants and gardening I reckon

 

Oh i see:.........hmmm where do I start.
I have not even got a lawn at the moment!!!!

 

Start with the lawn

 

I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts.

I know they're a fruit, but I had to tell someone, and it was going either here or in "Football Chat".

 

My partner loves the garden,shes been out there hours... suppose i better unlock the door now.

And as above,id like to know the growing requirements for Afghan Seeds.

Use next doors electricty supply.

 

Hi Sarge, i have a lot of moss in my lawn - can i do anything to get rid of it over the winter months?

 

Get yourself a fan rake and give it a right good going over a couple of times and let it breath over the winter months. Next Spring give it another go and then after about a week put down some seed. It might need more than 2 rakes at first but use your muscles mate.

 

Oh a though Sligofan get yourself a weed & feed and apply first, give it a week or two and then rake.

 

This is gospel, I have a banana tree and summer before last it bloomed (has a huge bloom) and out of the bloom came fruit, small bananas. They didn't mature. Have you ever seen that in our climate under normal conditions & is there a way to grow them properly?

 

No never but i have seen grapes, oranges and the likes, but the bananas not in our climate Liam no. Greenhouse is the way to go but under the right conditions.

 

Author...anything else you need to tell us??

 

I like reading books and taking nature walks.

 

Thread title should read Advice rather than Advise, but then, that's why I'm proofreading your book Sarge

 

Had carrots this year but carrot fly went to town on them i think black spots and that in the carrot, any suggestions?

 

See that now, doh!!!!
