Forums Forums Enthusiast Forums A - Z Gardening Gardeners Wirral ?

Woz looking for a gardening forum link, but cannot find it, can anyone please point me to a gardener's world kinda forum/sub-forum ? thx

a gardening forum would be cool

You have this Newsgroup; "uk.rec.gardening" which is an active group full of very knowledgeable people,

Or this Forum; "http://www.gardenbanter.co.uk" which is really only a copy of posts that are posted on the above uk.rec.gardening, not exactly Wirral based but popular.

thx for the newsgroup link but i cannot see it here on the forum. Can you point me to it pls ?

It's not on this forum it's a newsgroup which means you have to subscribe to it using your preferable news client, though garden banter is a forum.

At this time of year it would be great to have a gardening forum.

I think we should start one on here.

Well do it on here then. I shall direct anyone from the other site which I just began to this site.

This is great granny.
now we can share a few tips maybe put pics up of what we have done to our garden. am going to do a big change on mines ,but i start taking pics when weather inproves and share my project with you all.
i do hope the weather does get bloody better as i want to complete outside.

this rain has made a big difference to my lawns, i fed them the week before the rain came , and they have greened up nicely and shot up !

getting sick of my bird feeders getting hammered by a local gang of tree rats

Confussion reigns, so let's try to get it working properly.

If it's not agreeable, then please shout again.

Beautiful Gardens

When noticing a couple of people have mentioned that a garden forum would be a good idea, I tend to agree. There is so much to do at this time of year and so many newcomers to gardening, it would be a great idea.
Keen gardeners will be eagerly planting their vedgetables for the first time.Others will be wondering what to do with daffodils when they have finished flowering, and some may be looking for new plants to grow in a shady spot.
How to make a compost heap, the best time to cut back shrubs and trees or even help to identify plants.
Also include any wildlife such a hedgehogs,birds and bees.(or faeries)
Who knows, we could start a bartering system: 6 apples for a lb beans.!
We could all have a lot of fun and it's a topic which our friends in foreign parts could also be part of. Tell us what you grow and when. How we can cope better with drought or severe frosts and extreme cold.
Let's enjoy!

When is the best time to plant potatoes and can anyone recommend a good one?

Thank you

Obviously, not much help there.

Had no interest in growing spuds anyway, was only asking!
