No problem Janice.

I have been around forums a long time.

Laury, are all those your creations?

We can't even make a plant survive more than a week after we get it home.  We even had a cactus die on us  recently.

Sorry Laury, so late in replying to you, went to go to original thread and then saw  LAURYS PALMS, 

 

Sorry Laury, I will start again, pressed wrong button!! with regard to the seed couldnt grow, it definitely wasnt a climber, still think it was a datura of some sort, however no worries,  your garden is absolutely gorgeous where are the greenhouses or dont you need them in devon? we have three but all empty this year as trying to sell our house here in suffolk as they are usually full of cuttings and seed, Be great to get some tips from you (if willing) especially where palm growing is concerned,

Regards

Jill

P.s. Dogs are beautiful too!

I'll be pleased to help if I can.

We grow nothing in Spain yet because the purchase was only completed a couple of weeks ago and there are months of licences, knocking downs and rebuilds before we can live there and plant things.

We have a greenhouse at one side of the house and a conservatory which is warmer. Some plants are brought in for winter, some are in the greenhouse and some are covered with fleece outside. 

It will be much easier when we get to the CB.

Oh. BTW. I lost my border collie last week. He was 15 years old and very ill.

I had to say goodbye.

The Sammy is 13 so I don't know if she will make it to Spain either.

Thanks Janice.

It's taking longer than I thought to get over it.

So where are all the questions then?

I'll be first laury!!!!! Cordylines although i have been quite lucky  with them but  is there any way,  or what am i doing wrong, to prevent the leaves going yellow at bottom, i usually just pull them off but with some i have had to pull so many of they look unsightly so end up diggin up and throwing away, is is too much water??( This is like gardeners questions time! Hee Hee!!)

Cordyline 's lower leaves always turn yellow and then brown before making a dead skirt around the trunk.

Just pull them off if they are unsightly. The tree has to lose the leaves to develop the tree-like trunk.

 

I live in the land of Cordylines as their common name here is Torbay palm.   Guess where I live at the moment.

Thanks Laury, so I am not doing anything wrong! ,,,, Have been away for a few days so havent had a chance to get on the computer.
