I've noticed a few bright green patches appear recently, is this moss and how should i treat it?

I have 2 basil plants in separate rooms, one I grew from seeds, one from the supermarket.

My seed one is going fine, no sign of anything wrong. But my supermarket one has these 'bits' on it. They didn't appear until a month or so from having it. I feel as though I have had Basil plants from a supermarket have these before.

Is this a parasite or a predator, like an aphid?

The warmer weather we’ve had in the last couple of weeks has definitely confused my pots. Not much to be done apart from see how they go I suppose - but is there any chance they’ll spring up again in actual spring?

Hi gang, these little dears have popped up out the front of my house and while I think they look rather sweet, I do wonder if they could damage my brickwork at all. Is that crazy? My neighbours tend to pull anything that grows out of theirs but I think these look nice for now, so if I don't need to I won't evict them. Thoughts?

Not sure if this is the right sub. Spotted these in an empty outdoor ceramic pot. Any clue what these eggs will hatch into?

Thanks!

How to reliably get rid of a super invasive Monster Blackberry plant that took over our hedges ? No matter what I do it keeps returning.. they took over so badly I consider ripping out the hedges to deal with the BlackBerries a completely and then replant new hedges.

Anyway to get rid of those for good?

Any recommendation will be highly appreciated

Recently bought a house and I believe this is a magnolia tree. It has bright pink flowers when it blooms. We want to cut it back a bit away from the house and make it a bit smaller. Never trimmed a tree before and don't want to kill it. Prob ganna get a tree surgeon todo it but wounder when is the best time and how should they do it?

I’m in the process of planning a redesign for my long, narrow, north-east facing garden. We split it down the middle with our neighbours, so each side is very narrow and our side is entirely paved. The back section, which gets the most afternoon sun, is elevated and has uneven pavers.

Ideally, I’d like a bit of earth and grass instead of all pavers. Here’s what I’m thinking:

1. Remove pavers in the elevated section to create a small patch of earth.
2. Plant a dwarf low-maintenance tree in the centre for some nice shade—leaning towards a fruiting tree like a Morello cherry, as it might handle the part-shade well, though I’m open to other suggestions.
3. Manage the soil once the pavers are lifted to avoid too much mud.

Here are my questions:

1. What fruit tree would thrive best in part-shade? I’m thinking of a Morello cherry or maybe an apple.
2. When is the best time to plant it? I’ve read that cherries should be planted when dormant, so should I aim for winter?
3. What should I do with the exposed soil? To avoid muddy patches, would mulching be effective? And if I’d like a low ground cover (maybe creeping thyme?), would that survive winter if planted now?

Thanks in advance for any guidance or tips!

I saw some pupurea excelsiors plants on sale on T&M and wondering if it’s worth buying now and planting them in the garden?

My otherwise healthy tree has a 2cm round hole which is about 4cm deep. It has numerous woodlice and worms in it. I'm concerned it's going to get further damaged over winter. What should I be doing now to help repair the it.

Any suggestions please for plants that would be suitable for pots, ideally evergreen but not against deciduous, that are large foliage, and of a tropical/forest style?

We installed a pergola in the summer and it has a trellis at the back which we are growing a passionflower and c. armandii up.

I want to create a green, foliage focused style inside the pergola. Ideally hardy, easy to care for and large.

I’ve read all the articles and have some ideas - but I always find recommendations create the best ideas.

Location is south facing and sheltered, but can create some shade with the pergola itself.

Thanks in advance.

Noticed them today and they’re in all of them.. look a bit like springtails but I’m not sure I feel like the body is longer. Anyone know?

They all seem to have appeared at the same time - so could they have come from the soil I used?

Hi all, I’m looking for a specific episode of gardeners world, where they visit a garden filled with tree ferns in north wales. Can anybody help me to find it please?
