We're redoing our whole backyard at the moment, it gets super hot (Perth) with no shade and I want to put a native between our nature play and lawn area for some shade. Something that will get tall quickly, decent cover but won't damage the lawn or retic - any ideas? Thank you!
After overseas holiday I found these weeds everywhere in my buffalo garden.
Does anyone know what weed this is and how to control this?
Spotted in Red Hill, Victoria. It was humming with bees and I think it would be great for my yard.
Any help identifying this plant would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Is there a trick to quickly trimming off the dead brown leaves. Itβs pretty slow going with secateurs.
I have had these fastigiate hornbeams for around 6 months. same nursery , same potting procedure and watering regime. About 2 weeks ago one started with the leaf browning issue. It has become progressively worse to the point the whole tree is affected. The other plant is unaffected. Anyone have any experience with diagnosing and maybe saving it?
Hi folks, front yard next door is getting bulldozed and the owner has kindly offered me his old Rose plants if I want them, which I'd love.
They're pretty old, 20 years I'd guess. Not overly big but do have an old base. We are in Perth so coming into hot weather. What would be the best way to move them please, within the next few weeks? Thank you
I ordered some seeds and it will be delivered in a week, will this be too late to grow tomatoes? I'm new to growing tomatoes
By a creek in south east Queensland ~ Gold Coast.
Thank you π
Looking for recommendations for a potted tree/tall plant for a tough-to-access light well in Melbourne. Want a plant that:
Previously a mulberry tree grew up between the cracks in the pavement and was very healthy, but we had to remove it due to the risk of roots interfering with the building infrastructure. Hoping to replace our leafy greenery with something potted but donβt know what will survive in this space.
Should I get rid of it now? Perth.
This weed spray was applied onto the soil approximately 15 cm away from my garden rose base (of 30+ years) and about 24 hours ago.
I'm really worried about the health of the roses.
Seeking any possible advice on how to slow down the rate of absorption through the roots and prevent the rose from dying.
Is anyone able to ID this plant for me? (Spotted in eastern/coastal SA)
I don't recognise it as one of my common weeds. Tiny leaves and a very low ground cover.
Have a heap of daffodils in the garden. I'd like to replace them with something that flowers over summer, but even tho the daffodil flowers died about 2 months ago, the leaves are laying over but still very green and only the very tips are just starting to brown.
I dont think i have enough room anywhere to transplant all of them while i wait for them to die down.
What are my options here?
We didn't get any limes last year, so we've been watering and fertilizing it this year in the hopes to get some limes.
There's plenty of the baby limes, but we keep finding more and more falling to the ground. What are we doing wrong?
