Hi.

I work in a garden centre and we sell the vietnamese mint as a plug plant in 3"pot.

i don't know the supplier though it's probably Dutch..there maybe somewhere closer to home Cevenol where you might get the plants.

hope it helps

Hi.

You could try the fleece polytunnel which keeps things slightly cooler as it shades the sun and lets any breeze through..probably best in oz than regular poly.

hope it helps.

Hi All.

I'm wondering which is the best position around my site to place my coldframe...if it's in the sunshine all day the plants seem to suffer and wilt....would it do better in the cooler full shade...or semi-shade (through a hedge)?.

Hello Mandy,
I find it easy growing alfalfa sprouts in a jam jar and by rinsing them with water twice a day (and drain it through a muslin cloth after) helps keeping them nice and fresh until ready to be eaten.

We live in SE England by the sea, just moved from Scotland and we find it very warm here and everything seems to grow quicker!!!! We thinks this is the best place in UK to grow anything!

Hi Alan. Thanks for reply. Sorry to hear about your normal pears...hope you have better luck this year...i notice some bees around here already, have you spotted any there? Following on from your post, i am going to check the variety of asian pears offered for sale, and also to check out the chris b...

Hi All.

I am thinking of purchasing an Asian Pear tree soon. I struggle for space in my garden and need something that is almost guaranteed to produce at least some amount of fruit. I already have normal pear for pollination.
Many thanks in advance if you can help.
Tom.
