How Does Your! Garden Grow?

Looking good Merlin, do you water each individually, or have you an irrigation system set up to make life easier?
 
Griff no irrigation system just a hose pipe watering can (for feeding) a couple of sprayers for leaf feeding etc......


Trudi the actual name of these (seed was bought in LIDL 29p per packet) is wait for it :o ...... Mesembryanthemum an half hardy plant (only last until frosts arrive) then new seed grown again in March.....
 
TRYPTICH I think a lot of people have....its as bad to over water these type of plants than not to water them at all for months on end it will still be there if you never watered it :rolleyes: stop watering now, end of month, then start again in March........
 
MarkEE, I am seriously impressed with your garden. The link is excellent to see all your pictures.

I am an RHS member and a very keen gardener myself and Wisley is a couple of miles down the road.

You should be congratulated for creating a terrific tropical garden that would IMO win a prize if recreated at one of the summer flower shows.
 
Thanks very much Bernardo. It's always nice to hear that from fellow gardeners. I've only been gardening for 7 years (3 at the current place) but I find it such an obsessive hobby that I suppose I've learnt a lot in a short period. Earlier in the year I had a freelance potographer around doing a piece for the daily Mail called 'Jungle dwellers'! Basically involved a pic of the typical British suburban front of my house and then a pic of me peering out from the jungly foliage at the back holding an exotic looking cocktail. The article has yet to surface which in hindsight is probably a good thing :D!
He was put onto me by a few of the other gardeners featured in the galleries where you saw my pics. Some of the gardens pictured there are absolutely amazing and put my place into perspective...but I'm happy with what I've done to date.
Wisley is not somwhere I've visited but I would like to in the future. Kew is fantastic, especially the Temperate house and Palm house...no doubt you've been?

Cheers

Mark
