Hopefully now the weather is warming up and we have had some much needed rain, we will be able to get planting. Although my OH has already planted his potatoes in pots and his dahlias, and filled the hanging baskets with compost ready for putting the plants in them. |

* fingers crossed it is getting more like spring. I have just seen a butterfly, not sure which sort as it flew past quickly and I almost missed it, and a bumble bee in the garden. :-) |

It must be spring, Ann, cos two fekin pigeons have just been 'cavorting' on my back wall in spite of my yelling and waving arms at them. Some pigeons are quite brazen are they not? :-D |

I've not heard of that species of pigeon BC - is it a hybrid? :-) |

well I've planted my lovely sweet pea plants - let's hope they fare better than last year's - three lots failed last year, but I am very hopeful with these |

As a rose virgin...this is only my second year growing climbing roses...I don't know a sucker from a lateral...ahem :-)....so could someone please advise. There is a sprouting thing shooting up from base of plant. Do I let it grow or nip it in the bud? |

AnninGlos | Report | 20 Apr 2013 20:10 |
T says feed it now. He says is it def. a climber. If is his suggestion is leave it until the rose has flowered and then if nothing is shooting from it prune it out. Although it is unlikely to be a sucker if it is a climber. |

Evenin' all. BC, suckers usually have 2 extra leaves, I think. I grow 'Compassion' and it doesn't have suckers. |

Well from one virgin to another, Wend, I think I will let the old suckers (or whatever they are) stay! I am too much in awe of this lovely climber to dare interfere with it :-D |
