			<description>hello all, we're in the process of starting a garden from scratch, we live in a new-build so I thought a 'cottage garden' feel would detract from the angular nature of our surroundings.  Up to now I've just been sowing a few seeds whilst my other half does the donkey work laying the patio etc.  I'm keen to grow my own Rudbekia, yet after 21 days my seeds are not growing   Any ideas what might have gone wrong?  My Cornflowers and Cosmos are coming on ok and were planted at the same time.

			<description><![CDATA[Over the weekend I saw a climber in Haworth, it was clambering up everyone's walls and fence, I don't recall seeing it before, although now that I have it's popping up in Tod too! If anyone can tell me the name I'd be grateful, I had a wander around Riggs, but couldn't spot it there. The best way to describe it is, it has green leaves ;-) and has a sweet pale (ish) simpe, pink flower that is in bloom now. 
<br />
Any ideas? 
<br />

			<dc:creator>snapdragon</dc:creator>
			<description>I have a modest sized rhododendron in the far corner of my garden that is more or less right underneath my large ash tree, and in summer when the tree is full of leaves, it's quite hidden and lost amongst the foliage. My question is, could I dig it up and replant in a large tub and show it off in it's glory as a patio plant?</description>

			<link>http://todgrow.forumandco.com/questions-and-answers-gardening-tips-f1/urban-roof-gardens-t71.htm</link>
			<dc:creator>Admin</dc:creator>
			<description>Have just been reading about urban roof gardens, if you have a bit of flat roof, or a dormer window with a space outside, dont waist it get a lightweight planter out there, fill with compost and vermiculite so it isn't to heavy, and plant some lettuce, or endive anything that isn't a heavy bulky plant.

But make sure the pot is secure, dont want it slipping off and braining someone.

Oh and remember it will be heavier when wet

			<title>growing potatoes without a garden</title>

			<dc:creator>Admin</dc:creator>
			<description>Did you know that spuds will grow in an old barrel or a dustbin ( as long as you can make drainage holes in it) so you can have fresh new potatoes without a garden. You will need to plant them just high enough so that the sun can reach the leaves, you can then earth them up as they grow, just as you would in open ground. It is important to keep them watered, but dont allow them to become too wet or they will rot. but you will get loads of lovely spuds.</description>
