🙋 Question ❓ Ideas for what to plant in these tall narrow pots, or is the shape just unsuitable? I've tried a couple of grasses and they died.

🌳 Forestry, silviculture, arboriculture, trees etc. 🪚 What is this/how to promote growth?

My neighbours have been cutting down trees and lots of overgrowth around our boundary to put up a fence. The main downside is that the lower tree line has made another neighbour's dormer visible from our kitchen and garden. I know we were very privileged for a city suburb garden to have almost complete privacy but I'd like to try and keep it this way.

The work next door has left this lopsided tree (which is ours), I think it's a laurel or privet of some variety? What is recommended to encourage growth (towards the left in pictures)? Obviously there are loads of brambles everywhere around it that probably need clearing, but I'm open to any other suggestions. Below it are some roses, geraniums and anemones, in various states of unwieldy.

🧑‍🌾 Pottering about 🌳 Winter pots for front door

4 Upvotes

I had some bizzie lizzies on either side of my front door for Summer, but they’re looking very sad now!

So I’m looking to update the pots today for Winter. This is the first year I’ll be doing this so wondering what people’s recommendations are?

Would like some colour and low maintenance

The pots are about 35cm wide and 35cm deep

🙋 Question ❓ What to grow in an unfriendly spot

5 Upvotes

I have an area at the end of my garden that's surrounded by rough brambly woodland, its about 7mx7m. Heavy clay soil, slightly acidic, and this spot gets very little direct sunshine because of how its angled. It also gets very dry and everything was crispy there during the summer heat wave.

I dug a short swale to help with water retention on the lower side.

I have stopped cutting the grass because I like the wildness but I am also fighting back the brambles and gorse so they don't take over.

Its not a friendly spot to grow much but I'd like to plant something with a bit of hight and colour.

Anyone have suggestions for what could be happy there?

Hello

I have a Mountfield MR1500 robot lawnmower.

The power adapter for the charging station has recently failed and I need to get a new one.

Would anyone know where I would go about getting one?

Thanks
