Wake up and smell the roses ! Advantages: Beauty and perfume Disadvantages: Thorns ...first time I came across Hybrid Tea roses was when my parents decided to buy a dozen to line our front garden - more years ago than I care to mention! Before that - roses were roses - we had several ramblers in the garden and these were the ones with which I was familiar. Having been involved with the choosing of the new roses I was keen to see how they developed and I have loved them ever since. The first Hybrid Tea rose was produced by Frenchman ... ...all recognise today.. The Hybrid Tea rose is the one used by florists as it has single flowers quite often on very long stems and usually fragrant. This also makes it a popular plant for the garden where it will happily flower right through the summer and, in fact, we have had them still blooming at Christmas. There are a great number of HT roses and growers that sell them - and a huge variety in prices. You can buy pot grown bushes or bare root ...

For all you bees! Advantages: see review Disadvantages: none! ...centre, as I wanted more Lavender plants to plant along my path. Lavender is my favourite herb and I already have dozens of plants in my garden. The gorgeous scent and colour of lavender remind me of holidays in the South of France! Growing Lavender. ******************** It is possible to grow Lavender from seed but I recommend you buy established plants from a nursery. Lavender is not expensive to buy; I paid £2.00 each for established plants. ... ...Lavender is less hardly than its English counterpart, but has gorgeous butterfly type flowers. French lavender likes to be in full sun with well-drained soil. I grow mine in a large pot on my sunny patio. If you grow your lavender in a container then you will need to water it. You must also ensure the pot is large enough as lavender has long roots. English lavender is much more hardy than the French variety and once established will need little ... anwar 23.04.2009 · Read Full Review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Lavender	Performance Ease of use Value for money

So easy even I can't kill it! Advantages: - Disadvantages: - ...leaf - and that's my money plant, gifted to me by my mum . The money plant, Crassula Ovata (or Jade plant as it is known in China) comes from the succulent family, the same family as cactus plants . Luckily, it has no prickly bits, so is safe for little kiddy fingers and cats that like to eat everything. Luckily for the plant, this also means it it able to store water in the leaves and roots to call on when I forget to water it! It is an attractive ... ...doesn't mean it's dying - money plants LOVE the sunlight, although they are just as happy sitting in a dark corner somewhere .

Nippon Ant Killer Advantages: Cheap, does the job! Disadvantages: Cant think of any... Nippon has been the talk of the shop lately, as 'the' treatment to buy for wiping out ants! It's a good job the conversation came up really, because a week later I'm cleaning out the cupboard under the stairs and find ants have made it their home! Nippon is relatively cheap, priced around £3.50 for a huge bottle which will last you goodness knows how long. It comes in various forms but I picked the powder as I thought it would be a bit easier to ... ...yet it's still safe to use around pets and children - a bonus in my book as 2 dogs live with me. After applying the powder directly to the area affected, I wait 24 hours before checking for signs of ant life. This stuff works. The ants have gone and the problem has been solved, all without breaking the bank! ...
