General Gardening / Re: Sunflowers: cold with more light or warm with little light?
« Last post by whaleroad on Today at 21:52 »Looking at MetO forecasts it doesn't look as if there will be any really cold nights for at least the next few weeks (as far as their forecasts go) so I'd say put them in greenhouse....
Thank you. Right, they're going to their new home tomorrow morning on my way to the polling station.
I was potting on in there after work this evening and it was actually lovely and warm so I must remember that the impression I get on my early morning visits is not indicative of general temperature.

Yes, I know it's not a song. Nor is it from this century. Or the last.
But I couldn't resist!)

General Gardening / Re: A pond
« Last post by pepsi100 on Today at 19:51 »It’s finally all coming together now
I am glad to say, I’m keeping my original pond, but just for an ornamental pond and the wild life, plus the birds like the water fall for a bath
I’ll post pictures as it progresses

You might find that the chlorine from the tap water would dissipate naturally over a few days?

General Gardening / Re: A pond
« Last post by pepsi100 on Today at 18:47 »I have now found someone prepared to dig the hole for my pond
He asked me the size of the hole, I said 6 feet long, 4 feet wide and 2 feet deep
He said ‘Are you burying a body?’
I showed him the pond going into the hole
He used to be a grave digger, so it should be a fairly simple job for him
I’ve got several water butts to fill it, but not enough water, so it will be refilling them with tap water
(Then using a tip I know about for removing chlorine, Camden tablets, they work well in wine making)
Oh, well I have to build the surround, then get a filter, good thing I have a spare pond pump
