Hi ya! I am Anneka from Northern Ireland! love a nice garden and spent loads so my dogs could wreak it lol Mostly patio stuff now and want to do the front garden up if people would stop driving over it while turning. Big rocks should sort that out then some nice shrubs.

Love Roses! hate greenfly that wreaked them in doors last year so they are all outside, also what is good for a conservatory? Like the place looking like a jungle with lots of color.

Nice to meet you all seen this advert on facebook by the way when i was posting something and was looking a forum like this.

Welcome Anneka! Try soapy water in a mister for your greenfly problem -- if it's extreme, use a systemic insecticide of some sort.

Used them both they became immune, had to put all my stuff outside even the bonsi tree had them in it, white aphids mostly and green fly and the lavender has some weird thing that makes webs in it. They dnot like me having plants

Sounds like spider mites on the lavender. Insecticidal soap usually works on those.

Hi Anneka,
I think that the big rocks in the front yard sound like a great idea. that'll teach them!!

Need loads of big rocks! sweeps around in a cul de sac. Live beside a beach not hard to get only its getting someone with a van or trailor. sick of poeple driving over it.

Got loads of seeds today from the nursery. And ordered tulip bulbs on ebay, waiting for an auction to end on a lavender climbing rose (not blue moon nicer looking) so as its my birthday i am buying flowers for myself for summer
