Re: My Garden- Pictures, and some help needed :-)


Close enough, so long as you found where you were going it doesn't matter.

My hubby's English and has lived in Wales for the past 20odd years and he can't speak it.

So long as nobody makes me say the latin names for plants I'm oky

Sorry CJ, I have to pass on the plants......don't recognise them, except the primula/polyanthus..... but I imagine you want the name of the little so an so next to it!

I'd like to say, though, that your garden looks very tidy now!

Can't help with the plant identification Carly - I'm hopeless but must say your garden is looking very nice now

Re: My Garden- Pictures, and some help needed :-)


yes i knew that the bigger one was a primula, cos when i told hubby he said isnt that cheese spread!

hmm, i'll leave them and see if they flower.

Can we determine between us if tha last big uns a weed or catnip?

Re: My Garden- Pictures, and some help needed :-)


well the one oin the third picture definalty WASNT where we planted the catnip at all, it was planted somwehere in the far back corner.
Unless i was done again, like when i got so called bonsai seeds to be told theyre ruddy great big oak trees lol.

I've got the seeds so will plant another in a pot, if it dont look the same I'll rip this imposter weed up!

rover, you'll get your catnip cushion eventually!!!!
and theres one on the way for oscar too!!!

You never know, might start a new trend in cat play-things?

Re: My Garden- Pictures, and some help needed :-)


That is definitely not catnip! Rub a leaf between your fingers & sniff: catnip has a very noticeable strong smell. If you like, would be glad to mail you (or anyone) some seed from my "mutant" catnip which has grown, I kid you not, shoulder high this year!! (Of course, I'm only 5/1, but still!!) Actually, the reason the catnip is so rampant this year is because it's competing with some bamboo which has invaded it's spot...cut the bamboo down last year & it's back worse than ever! Seriously, this is a nice heathy strain of catnip & reseeds every year. Let me know if you'd like some seed come Fall. Am still laughing about the Welsh...
