They're beautiful, I've got some bright yellow ones coming out too!

I'd like to move them as well,because they're in my front garden and I'd rather them in the back where I can see them, but not if it's going to kill them.

Thicko alert

Ok guys.. I am the thickest gardener ever, so I thought I'd get some suggestions.

1. Easy things to plant that look good but don't die when i forget to water them, water them too much, and generally neglect them

My garden is mainly sunny, but does have a shady patch that gets almost no sun, and I'd like to put some plants in both places if possible.

2. What's this? Is it a lilly? (it's an attachment so hopefully everyone can view it?)

Thanks for the help guys.

Matt

ADD: mocha, my condolences on your plants

I think the local foxes and rats ate most of the pears etc last year....

Thatchers do a Pear Cider as well, called perry! So you could do your own Pear Cider!

You would be doing me a favour actually, I think the local foxes and rats ate most of the pears etc last year....

We have got a hedge between us and our neighbour, and want to get rid of it - a fence only needs creosoting now and then, this hedge takes over the garden at times!
How do we get rid of it?
I am tempted to tip loads of weed killer down the roots. Would this work?

I'm assuming the hedge is actually yours...

Yes weedkiller would do but then you are still left with a hedge, albeit a dead one....

Cut it down as low as you can, score the stumps and either get some good quality weedkiller or use petrol. Make sure your not smoking tho!!!
