Thankyou sir. Im 25, ive been gardening for a few years, but i always find the elders have the best advice on things. I planted zinnia seedlings, they got eaten, despite dry westher.. Putting legal slug pellets down, hopefully that'll let me grow this beautiful plant.
What a beautiful standard fuchsia Valerie Bradley. I intially thought it was Celia Smedley, which is my favourite fuchsia. They look so similar. Thanks for the video and info.
It's wet and cold and I still have ants in my pots. My plants are well watered and always well watered and I still have ants. Could you please make a video on using ant killer like Amdro in ornamental, not food, ornamental large potted plants. Thanks!!!

Question what you mean by "old stems" and "remaining shoots". Are the "old stems" the brown/hard woody stems over 2y old? And are "remaining shoots" the shoots that grew this previous year? Thanks.
Thank you. I have a question at the end of my comments that I hope you will answer. I bought Lizzies at a nursery a couple years ago to place at the family graves. The nursery owner told me they'd do well in direct sun, and I made the mistake of believing her. There is NO shade at this cemetery and they almost died in just a couple days. I brought them home. Since I have little shade outdoors, I put the pots in an upstairs bedrooms, under an east facing window. The sun streams in fairly strong for four or five hours each day. If I don't water them every day by about 10:00AM, they wilt. I suspect there is too much sun or the pots are too small to retain enough water. Hard to tell how much water is there, because they are very root bound. I can't push my fingers into the dirt. I'd transplant them to larger pots, but I have no room for larger pots here or in other rooms. One of the lizzies has had brown stems for months. The other has nice green stems. They are the same species. Both have plenty of flowers and leaves towards the end of the stems, but very few leaves on the rest of the stems. What can I do to make my Lizzies healthier?
The late Peter Seabrook giving and showing good garden practice. I wonder what he would of thought of the no dig vegetable garden now so fashionable with some people.
