Many thanks. Definitely has drainage holes. Just my luck I didn't get the "Brexit Lavender" and then managed to drown it in a heatwave.

Hi Know how much you like my dumb questions. This lavender was planted about six-eight weeks ago and now seems to be dying. Unfortunately can’t recall the exact species purchased. Have been watering and adding plant food consistently. (Since before hot spell) Also increased frequency in last...

Cheers. Just ordered some.

Thanks. Whenever I search for the exact size, I still return covers which are too small or too big. The hole is 1/4” and the diameter of the cover is just over 1/2”.

Hi Struggling to find replacements for the many missing ones on our conservatory. The holes are 1/4 diameter but can only find metric sizes. Also end up with results relating to plastic screw covers for furniture. Can anyone provide a link. (Conservatory built in 2012) Thanks

Thanks. Can you point out the “flower head stalks” as per your earlier advice?

Thanks. Re “flower head stalks”. Can you help me identify these in the more detailed image, If you look at the marked circle, it’s like there’s an outer stem, inner stem and then a thin section protruding from the inner stem. Is that what you’re referring to? Probably have to come back to you...

Thanks for the helpful responses. Any idea on the lily situation and where/when to prune?

Hi First image is fuchsia bush in front garden. I’d it normal to see dead and developed (somewhat?) flowers on the same branches? Second image is lilies in back garden border. They only flowered for a few weeks, so guess they must have been Asiatic variety? (Can’t recall what we bought) I...

That’s great. Thank you.

Hi We have two area where paint has cracked and flaked away, exposing bare wood on windowsill. (Photos included) It’s a shame as only two areas affected. Should I just remove loose paint coating, sand, prime and repaint etc? Jyst worried the cracks will extend and expose much bigger areas...

WTF RU talking about?

Update Have sprayed both plants with some bug repellent, including underside of leaves. Will monitor and report back. Product doesn’t mention frequency. Would you advise daily?

Thanks

Thanks. It’s weird that all my holes occurred in one night! Noted re your comments on impact on plant health.

Hi All On reflection, I think it may have been the terrible sleet we had yesterday. (Spotted some of the damaged foliage on the ground) Will those holes stunt the growth of the flowers? Thanks

Thanks. Just checked (23.47) with a torch and can’t see anything lurking under the leaves. Weird that it/they only started munching last night.

Thanks. What species of bug and how would you deal with the problem?

Hi All Woke up this morning to find holes in my two hydrangeas. Definitely not there yesterday. We had loads of rain yesterday (and today), so assuming resident slug population? Whether it’s them or caterpillars etc, does 13 May have some special place in their calendar? Views much...
