Garden is the best place to be when you’re not up to the mark I’ve been a gardening enthusiast for many years I love seeing the garden trees growing and coming in to leafy 🥬🍁🍂🍃splendour and all the many flowers 🌷 🌺 🌼blooming including the fruit trees raspberry and strawberry plants that heralding spring with the promise of fresh fruit in summer and autumn, as you can imagine I’m at peace in my garden, but now I have to help to some of the work, but nevertheless it works for me 👍👍

Given the age of slugs, is it legal to offer them beer?

We walk in the countryside every evening , and there has been rapeseed growing , the yellow flowers are beautiful , they have all started dying off though . We spoke to the farmer and I asked him how rapeseed is harvested , he walked over the plants and he picked off a pod and he opened it , he said another two weeks and the crop will be ready for spraying to make sure the flowers are finished , then he said in another few months they will be ready to harvest , the seeds inside the pods need to be black . I always wanted to know how they harvest rapeseed .

I've planted wildflowers and other flowers in my garden but I don't know which ones are weeds, and I don't want to accidentally pull up the flowers I planted. Could someone describe or show me which are weeds? Thank you

Weeds are Wild Flowers

kezwals · May 27

The wildflowers are still seeds but my other flowers have mostly grown but I don't know which ones are weeds

@kezwals, It can be a bit difficult to tell what's a weed until they're old enough to have a few leaves on them. RHS have a page showing what common weeds look like when they're grown: Identify common weeds / RHS

If they have grown some leaves, you could try seeing if you can download a plant identification app. There are apps where you can take a picture of the plant and it will make a good guess about what it is. It doesn't always work but sometimes it can give you a good enough idea.

If not, you could just leave it a few more weeks to see what comes up ☺️

Ah great, thank you

I bought this Clematis last year as a tiny plant. I have my first flower and a bud so hopefully will be a second flower. It has grown a lot in a year.
