Stick with them. Bare root roses can take a while to get going. As long as the "twigs" are still green on the outside then they should eventually grow Another thing with roses is to be quite rough when digging them in. Really press the soil down hard to ensure good contact between the soil and...

Look for the SB Plant Invigorator on amazon.co.uk The concentrate which will make 50x 1L of spray is only £17 + postage The spray in the RJ pack is already diluted I ordered the concentrate from Amazon and will report back if it works Stuart

That's probably for the non-hardy geranium which are a lot cheaper and will die at the first frost unless you take cuttings and grow on indoors over the winter. The hardy types look very different too. A different type of leaf and smaller flowers The QVC prices are not that bad on this one if...

Trust me you don't. Once cut with the lawnmower you end up with very thin hidden pointy shafts like hypodermic needles It's a real pain as I love wandering around bare foot in the garden Stuart

Don't let me put you off completely. Bamboo is after all very very pretty. The black stemmed varieties also tend to be slower growing. One option is to plant bamboo into a very large pot which you then sink in the ground. The running roots tend to be quite shallow. Most of the roots I dug up...

Geraniums are really easy to split into new plants. Just dig them up after a year or two. Break some bits off and replant either directly or in pots until established. I recently turned a two year plant into 6 new plants plus the original Stuart

You are going to regret saving that Bamboo when it starts taking over. I hope you have it in a pot or a very large garden! I learnt the hard way. I have bamboo shoots constantly popping up in my lawn. I also spent the best part of two full days recently first cutting down a patch of bamboo and...

I am trying Flower Power and Spray N Grow for the first time this year, My plants do seem to be in very good health, then again the weather has been so much better this year. The product I have also tried this year and really like is Wet N Gro. It really seems to work and definitely stops the...

Citrus trees are very susceptible to rapid variations in temperature. A conservatory can be a really bad place for them especially if it gets very hot in the day and then cold at night. Keep a Lemon tree in the house near a bright window or patio door away from a radiator. They should only be...

My hardy fuschias from last year still look like twigs and also have no green in the stems. I also noted that the yellow geraniums were not sold as hardy this year. Probably explains why mine died over the winter! Stuart

I bought a Pestclear Pro in 2003 (not from QVC) it seemed to work really well. The design had an exposed plate that started to make a high pitched whine after about 4 years. Possibly due to being knocked by me and the hoover! I could not find the same model at the time and bought a cheaper...

They arrived this morning. Large tubers but not as big as I expected. Richard Jackson must have really tiny hands. Probably ideal for holding the very small "dinner plates" that are the same size as most of the flowers he presents!!! Planting instructions were in direct conflict with what RJ...

I bought black tulips in the Amsterdam flower market about 10 years ago. Mine were red too. Still coming up each year to taunt me! I also bought the Yellow hardy geraniums from QVC last year. They grew very well but were completely white. I don't think they were hardy either. The remains of...

A very small cage for Dennis Basso

In the early days of QVC I had a bunch of friends around and we were drinking rather heavily, chatting and watching QVC for the amusement value. The item being demonstrated was No Wet Wonder Foam. A few minutes later one of my friends announced that he was going to phone in and ask if it would...

Shopping Channels add Value when they bring new and innovative products (so long as they work) that are difficult to get elsewhere. These products often trickle down to the high street many years later. E.g. As mentioned in a different post I was buying Simple Green Degreaser first from QVC...

I didn't see it but remembered that Debi had plastic surgery on screen for a Channel 5 programme a few years back. Photo of Debi and details at: http://cosmeticsurgery.endemoluk.com/profile03.html Stuart

The man who use to do the teeth whitening system. He always looked as if he had too many teeth in his mouth and when he used to get out the pen shaped tool with the hook.... The exercise lady who was on yesterday with the back system. Please, please do not wear a stretch top that reveals...

It Work's Cleaning Blocks did not work for me. Absolutely B'locks The only thing they seem to clean is the ends of my fingers from all of the frantic rubbing. They had no impact on the grout in my shower. The brown marks on the bottom of my pans was untouched The light stains on my oven door...
