Oooh I was just coming onto this thread to show some lavender love and I see it's already here!
Lavender is so easy to maintain, even I have struggled to kill it, and when it grows you can snip some off and bring it in the house to help you get to sleep

Even ivy can look very attractive, especially on a stone or brick wall

My Grandad cultivated a plant with pointed leaves and a certain scent that initially had grown rogue from bird seed... Turns out bird seed often contains hemp!66Mustang said:Also we have a load of plants growing under the bird feeding table where the birds have knocked the seeds off the table and they have grown!!

Hello everyone?
I really like Rose Campion as although they can take a while to grow once they are established they are hardy flowers which come back every year. They spread and I don’t find it difficult to collect the seeds so that I can plant them in other parts of the garden. They are really beautiful flowers.?0 -
These are succulents but I don’t remember their name unfortunately

@leeCal
What beautiful photos you have posted?I don’t know the name of the succulent you have posted the photo of and I have tried to identify by looking online. There are lots of plant identification apps so perhaps you could take a photo of the plant and maybe identify it that way?
I have an app so if I see a plant or flower that looks nice when I am out I take a photo of it so I know what to buy if I think it looks nice. Or even just to know the name of a flower I come across.
Please let us know if you identify it as it’s a really beautiful plant?1 -
The name begins with a P @RAwarrior and ends with an S that’s all I can remember
ill keep looking ?

@leeCal
I think our posts have overlapped as I keep getting logged out and having to sign into this website so sometimes someone has replied to my post but I haven’t realised because I keep having to sign in?You’re very welcome and I am glad I managed to identify the plant correctly. I thought it might be based on the above website as the flowers and leaves looked the same. I have bookmarked the website now as there’s lots of interesting information on there?0 -
@leeCal
This conversation has also helped me to focus on things I enjoy such as gardening. I have also posted some information under @Chloe_Scope’s thread regarding allotments as I came across some really great allotment and gardening channels on YouTube.2 -
@leeCal & @RAwarrior - it's great you indentified this succulent; it has to have the prettiest flowers I've seen. I normally grow perennials, with just a few annuals. After trying different heathers, & then ferns, which I have grown to love, I also tried a few succulents in the past couple of years. I would definitely like to try this Portulaca pilosa.@RAwarrior - I keep meaning to thank you for the YouTube gardening channels you've mentioned; something else I will look into. I find there's nothing much on the TV, so would rather watch something like this to help me as an amateur gardener. I grow all sorts of veg (& herbs) in raised beds & containers, & tomatoes (& a watermelon!) in my small greenhouse, but like having flowers as well. After reading, just being out in the garden is my main distraction technique.Thank you both.2

You’re very welcome ?
I have found the YouTube gardening channels both relaxing to watch and very helpful. I have managed to get a lot of ideas from some of the allotment and Permaculture channels. I mentioned some of ideas I obtained from these channels under @Chloe_Scope’s Allotment post. Once you start looking on YouTube you will find there are so many of these channels to choose from. I have found lots of ideas especially about planting stuff that lasts or tips about how to take cuttings. I hope you find something useful. I did two Babuska Pots which I saw on Good Life Permaculture. What a great idea for growing cuttings?.
I really find gardening relaxing as I switch off from everything else. It’s really rewarding to see the plants grow.
Many thanks for your lovely comments ??1 -
