can those kink free (oo err) hose pipes still be purchased? the name escapes me but i am sure i have seen some. I am really frustrated right now with the garden at home. Due to the weather and the contents of the garden, their is practically nothing that i can do at the moment

The lawns do not need cutting, the borders are weed free, the shrubs cant be cut back and no dead heading at all that can be done. Clutching at straws for things to do in the garden at the moment 

Plenty of work to do in my garden. You free?

*ignore the untidy grass and lack of colour, it's getting a face-lift on the weekend.

I'm very slowly putting in new beds and part of this year was some tender perennials (African daisies I think), so my question is how s best to care for them over winter? Are they best potted up in the green house, shed or garage or am I best to leave them in the ground and fleece?

Got this Terrarium starter kit for Christmas and the plants just arrived this morning. I have very little knowledge on how this works and what kind of upkeep I'll need to do but I'm looking forward to giving it a go. 

Progress reports will come providing I don't kill the plants off immediately.

And we're off! Pretty happy with how it turned out as it's fiddly as hell to put together. The fern type plant was already a little big and probably gonna out grow this super quick so I just put it in a standard pot elsewhere. 

These things are meant to be very self sufficient so occasional misting should suffice.  Next report will likely be an RIP type send off.

I'm putting in a new bed this spring and part will be for cut flowers to supplement the sweet peas, so does anyone have any good recommendations for good things to plant?
