Morning Folks

After starting off well my leeks don't seem to have gained any size in about a month, shall I transplant them into a RB and see how they get on?

   

I think I have whitefly in the greenhouse not something I have experienced before, although looking at the RHS picture the little white critters on my plants do not have distinguishable wings, like their picture, in fact mine are so small I can't identify them as creatures with legs or wings with the naked eye.  Query, what to do about them?

Someone asked on my local fb garden group. We might a couple more to join if we can answer first     .

I don’t have a clue. Looks like a shrub covered in daisies to me 

   

   

I know both SC and Vinny have asked for ideas for using stones/rocks they've found and I saw this photo and thought I'd share it.

I really like these beehive mounds - would be great for wildlife habitat.

I know I skip from one thing to another but this 
year the daffs were fab....I don't really have much of a spring garden. I love tulips but over the years have planted hundreds and they rarely return. Daffs are different.

I have been reading up - there are lots of heritage varieties out there

Do you just grab a bag from the supermarket or order in some bulbs with a little history?

I am looking them all up - new project.

This bank holiday weather and the disappearance of spring here has got me thinking about water storage. I have a 200litre water butt collecting from the garage and am considering adding more butts to that setup. I am also thinking about adding gutters and a butt to the shed near the veg patch. 
From your experiences how much storage capacity do you need for your gardens, do you wish you had more? Thanks.

I've often lamented about the number of baby plants I have and the prime reason for the problem is that I can't bear to cull the stragglers.  I work on the principle that even the weedy ones deserve a chance and some investment.  That said, I'm a devil for leaving plants for too long in small pots or forgetting them until such time they're no use at all so some get culled by neglect.
So how ruthless are you with the runts and stragglers?

Does anyone else grow Canadian Wonder. I opened a packet of Kings seeds (the bundle at the top of the picture) and thought they don't look right (quite small and different shades of red/brown) so I checked against my own saved seeds (bottom bundle) and as I grow these for the beans I'll be sowing mine and chucking the kings.

Hi all,

I have a couple small nepeta plants grown from seed (a white flowered variety). Can I put them straight in the ground, or should I restrict it's growth like you would with mint? 

Thanks!

I sowed 4 seeds of Craigella, 3 of which germinated, I think either that or I've lost the 4th.  Two were potato leaved the other normal leaved.  Looking on the web it says nothing about Craigella being potato leaved so I'm wondering what I have growing.  Anyone else growing these?
