Gardening Ideas March 2010
Post questions, comments and answers in the Gardening Ideas section on Candis Chat I wouldn't dare call what I do flower arranging, but I do enjoy cutting flowers I've grown myself, bundling them together and displaying them in the house! Success seems to depend on having a vase of the right dimensions, so I've collected quite a few over the years, manly from charity shops. Some pla... Read more

Gardening Ideas February 2010
Post questions, comments and answers in the Gardening Ideas section on Candis Chat Plants that bloom in winter mostly have small, unassuming flowers but compensate by packing a powerful punch in the fragrance department. The best example is a small evergreen shrub called Daphne odora, whose origins lie in wooded areas of China and Japan. The clusters of pale pink flowers pump out a sweet, spicy... Read more

Gardening Ideas January 2010
Post questions, comments and answers in the Gardening Ideas section on Candis Chat The dawning of a New Year brings a fresh start to the garden and while all is quiet and dormant outside, I like to dream of the growing season ahead. Will this be the year when I finally get on top of weeds in the kitchen garden? How will the herbaceous peonies, moved last autumn, do in their new spot and will ... Read more

Gardening Ideas December 2009
Post questions, comments and answers in the Gardening Ideas section on Candis Chat I can't help thinking that us gardeners must be a relatively easy band of folk for whom to buy Christmas presents. Quality tools are always welcome and don't worry about doubling up, as spares are useful for helpers, or to cover for losses and breakages. I can never have enough containers and rememb... Read more

Gardening Ideas November 2009
Post questions, comments and answers in the Gardening Ideas section on Candis Chat As surely as the weather grows colder and wetter, so my thoughts turn to the greenhouse. Every gardener should have one of these and if you do, but it's full of empty pots, spiders and old bicycles, turf them out and spruce up your indoor space. A greenhouse quickly becomes the nucleus of the garden and even ... Read more

Gardening Ideas October 2009
Post questions, comments and answers in the Gardening Ideas section on Candis Chat You can tell a lot about the character of a person by looking around their garden. There might be wild, wayward plants left to do their own thing, or controlled, carefully guided specimens kept rigidly within bounds and forbidden to lean over lawn edges. Some gardeners love colour and fill their plots with wall t... Read more

Gardening Ideas September 2009
Post questions, comments and answers in the Gardening Ideas section on Candis Chat September is the best time for planting a wide range of spring flowering bulbs and don't the garden centres know it? Go shopping now and you'll be dazzled with packets showing full colour pictures of all the glories that lie in wait if you'll only part with £2 or £3 and plant the dry, dorman... Read more

Gardening Ideas August 2009
Post questions, comments and answers in the Gardening Ideas section on Candis Chat Gardeners love to talk about their favourite pastime while nattering over the fence, or swapping tips over a cuppa on the allotment. The knowledge you build up simply by trial, error and observation is enormous and often more valuable than anything you can find in a book. Our website equivalent of the garden fenc... Read more

Gardening Ideas July 2009
Post questions, comments and answers in the Gardening Ideas section on Candis Chat. Our vegetable plot here in Devon is a kitchen garden in every sense of the word, because it lies right outside our kitchen window. For this reason, it is a very informal version of what the French would call a potager, or pretty mixture of veg, fruit, flowers and herbs. We've just enjoyed a mass of blooms o... Read more

Gardening Ideas June 2009
Post questions, comments and answers in the Gardening Ideas section on Candis Chat. Roses burst their buds this month to put on a fabulous flush of bloom. Some of the romantic old-fashioned types and many ramblers will only perform once, while the repeat-flowering sorts will bud up again and again until the first frosts of autumn. Of course, we can help them along by dead-heading and feeding. ... Read more
