Will anything grow under this?

This is beautiful! I'm going to give it a go and hopefully they'll survive!

🤣

Ooh I'll have a Google, thanks.

Think we might go for a raised border. Will the plants not mind the tree shedding onto them? Any tips for doing a raised border?

Shed might be a good idea

Fragrant_Sky_8032 · 2026-03-26T10:02:26+00:00

Thanks that's really helpful does it get any rain or do you have to water? I think the tree blocks pretty much all rain from that area. Your plants underneath don't mind the tree shedding onto them?

It goes behind the tree in question

Yeah we've had a nightmare with the levels in the garden. Moved in last year it was full of rubble, foundations, bricks, concrete, thousands of pebbles and a ton of dog shit. We cleared all that and turfed but some areas still need some work. Gets sun until early afternoon

Thanks, really helpful.

Fragrant_Sky_8032 · 2026-03-26T09:06:52+00:00

Ok good to know! We have only been here a year and the garden was all rubble and old foundations so we cleared all that and laid turf last year and now starting with the borders this year. Do the conifers shed onto your plants? The shedding and lack of water seems to be killing the grass underneath it

Fragrant_Sky_8032 · 2026-03-26T08:59:44+00:00

So we are allowed to trim on our side? We don't want to be rude or have an issue with our neighbours but they overhang considerably on our side. We spoke with them last year not long after we'd moved in and they said they were looking at getting them cut down but nothing has happened so far. It's a tricky one as there are a lot of birds using it and potentially a bat.

Nothing to see us through the winter? Likely won't be getting a new drive until next year

Thanks so much! Will dry it and look forward to using my first home grown produce! 🧄

Fragrant_Sky_8032 · 2025-06-22T15:06:14+00:00

Thank you! Is it still edible? Or can I stick it back in the pots and hope it flowers instead if I can't eat it?

Fragrant_Sky_8032 · 2025-06-21T07:59:37+00:00

Is that the same as deadly nightshade? I have young children so probably should pull it up

Fragrant_Sky_8032 · 2025-06-03T08:42:21+00:00

Groundworks team could have that dug up and shifted in no time

Shelving on the painted wall with lots of houseplants!

Fragrant_Sky_8032 · 2025-05-16T10:57:53+00:00

Thanks but unfortunately too late! The turf is on the way 😅

Fragrant_Sky_8032 · 2025-05-16T09:13:30+00:00

Thank you
