This is the place to ask questions and generally discuss anything about fauna and flora. Let's share our garden secrets! and all bloom together.

Another good idea! What's your opinion of products like Miracle Gro which enhance growth of plants - do they really work? How about Liqui-feed, an attach-to-your-hose dispenser, made by Miracle-Gro?

I think Miracle grow is Brilliant - But (and there is usually a but isn't there)...I have found that is you go away for more than a week say or don;t feed them for more than a week - they do tend to droop and fade... Miracle grow is soemthing that I personally think should only be started if you have the time to do the feeding without fail each week/fortnight

So the plants' metabolism, so-to-speak, sort of gear up then withn the Miracle-Gro and if they keep getting a steady diet they tend to expire. Sounds sort of like an addiction of sorts, doesn't it. I didn't know that - thanks, Dabbit.

That has been our experience of feeding them with Miracle grow Mark, although other foods don;t seem to have a similar effect

Hello everyone,
I think you may have noticed I have been almost invisible the last couple of weeks. I apologize and promise to be back in the garden in another couple of weeks with interesting and fun flora and fauna information. Currently my job is overwhelming and I haven't had much time for anything else. I am working (hardly these days) on more postings that I think everyone will find interesting.

Please bare with me and don't forget the Garden Corner!

of course Maria...Don't work too hard though!

[Mark]

We're waiting, Maria, feet planted...

[Maria]

That's good as long as you don't grow corn. ;D

[Mark]

Yep, hate corns on my feet...
