How Quickly Does Albendazole Work?

[ajm200]

I was wondering what plants have suddenly appeared in your gardens over the years that you didn't plant and really like now.

 

Last year a lupin appeared in one of our flowerbeds from nowhere and is in full flower now. It's a beautiful royal blue and far healthier than any plants that I've added

 

In my mums garden, there is a small bush that gets beautiful flat circular transparent seed pods on it. Neither of us have any idea what it is, but it's lovely.

 

I guess the seeds were dropped by birds or blown on the wind.

It sounds like Honesty to me

I've had a coule of buddleias appear, a holly bush (that is now over 6' tall), plus loads of deep pink, double poppies

[Mutrix Farmers]

We have a self sown (probably bird assisted) cotoneaster in the corner of the front garden. And I have some Arum Lilies this year in a patch of garden where I know I haven't planted any.

 

I agree with Cinnamon, it sounds like honesty, it self seeds all over my garden. The chickens loved the seed pods when they were young and tender, they leave them alone now they are older and tougher!

[Tiggy]

I have 2 fox gloves one either side of my front door very asthetic

[The Dogmother]

I love them too, blown there by the wind or by the birds. I have a yew tree, holly bush, marguerites, aqualegia and various others which have just 'happened'

[Tessa the Duchess]

I have self sown bluebells in the front garden. Definitely sounds like 'Honesty' I had three Honesty plants until I had chickens

I love those plants - just wish they would appear in more structured places!

 

Last year I had a beautiful yellow verbascum. Also a Foxglove, Himalayan Honeysuckle, Holly tree, Hawthorn, and Beech.

 

I get loads of Buddleia from next doors bushes and have several Hazelnut trees coming up from my other neighbour's tree both of which need digging up on an annual basis.

I also think it sounds like Honesty. I used to love those plants when I was younger.

 

I've had several trees sprout up over the years. Unfortunately they usually turn out to be trees that would be too big for my garden so we've had to pull them up. I love finding new things.

[Cinnamon]

If anyone has some Honesty seeds,I would love them for my garden....its one of my favourite plants

 

We get Poached Egg Plants,garden geraniums & California Poppies self seeding here, as well as Rape seed from the fields

[The Dogmother]

I need to replant my Honesty after it disappeared - there are some plants just down the road from me, so I'll get you some seeds too Sarah - do remind me though

[Yorkshire Pudding]

We get lots of snapdragons which OH hates as they are the plant he does his research on, and they remind him of work!

 

We also have sycamore seedlings everywhere this year - I must have removed hundreds from the lawn and I'm still finding new ones . We also have an ash in the garden and have a fair few ash seedlings every year, but the parent tree is beautiful so we put up with them.

[MedusA]

I have loads of self-sown californian poppies. I also get foxgloves popping up where it is inconvenient (middle of the patio) and none where I deliberately scatter seed as I want some to grow. Nature bites back!

 

I bought some lovely white honesty seeds on ebay this year. I have some plants, but won't get the flowers (and therefore more seeds) until next year, I'm afraid.

[Ange1]

I have an Oak tree if anyone wants one, it's about 30cm high?

 

I also have a Silver Birch tree, ditto if anyone wants it, it's more like 1 metre high, thing is birds/the wind aren'y fussy WHERE they plonk them!

 

I like the budleigh (sp) birds/wind got that one right!

[Cinnamon]

I don't know if they seed,but the Bluebells in my front garden are mutliplying like mad.

 

We put down a layer of pebbles a few years ago - think Brighton beach with weeds - & since then we have been smothered in Bluebells,which is wonderful

[ubereglu]

We have a lot of buttercup unfortunately and where the lawn should be there is a mass of daisies and buttercups...it looks very pretty though, especially with the chickens dustbathing in the middle!

 

We have lots of aquelegias, a few foxgloves and Tobacco plants that the chickens seeded for us!

[Ain't Nobody Here]

loads of deep pink, double poppies

 

My driveway's covered with pale pink poppies - they're where I park the car and all over the place. I can't bring myself to pull them up so they just flower every year .

[Milly]

A redcurrant bush just appeared in a flower bed, trouble is it's so big now it's swamping the other things in there. And fox gloves pop up in unexpected places, and thrive better than the ones I have tried to plant in the past.

 

But so do brambles, horse chestnuts, nettles, ash trees - you name it, they are all very happy to take over if allowed!

love in a mist appeared in my old garden from next door, havent had any surprises with this garden yet, yes sounds like honesty.

[Omletina Kyckling]

Hi Sarah,

 

I have some Honesty Seeds - PM me your address and I'll pop some in the post to you.

Every year the squirrels plant loads of hazelnuts and each spring when they come up OH digs them up and transfers them to the front of the property where is he slowly constructing a hedge!

 

At my Mum's house we had a lilac tree that the birds planted between the shed and the fence (in a 6 inch gap), noone was able to get to it to dig it up so up it grew reaching a fine height of about 20 ft. I bet the new owners of the house wondered why we either put the tree there or didn't cut it down before building the shed!

Would they go in the post? - I'd love another oak and silver birch

 

I could always swap them for about 1 million ash tree seedlings

 

We have a beautiful deep red Snapdragon growing in the raspberries and a foxglove in the veggie beds

 

Before we weeded the polytunnel soil (brought in) it produced loads of the big deep pink Poppies and Love in a Mist - I left a few in one corner and have now taken them up and am hanging the seed pods to dry.

[chickencam]

Aquelegas (sp)

Califorian poppies we had a whole host of them once they stayed for several years then went as suddenly as they came

Antirhinums (sp)

 

I have a self sown calendula on the edge of one of my back garden beds which survived the winter and the chickens.

 

I like self sown thinks they are the survivors of the natural world.

 

It does frustrate me though because, I have a very random cottage style front garden and I am always sprinkling seeds amongst other things and they hardly ever come to anything

[Lesley]

Same here LIz - we sowed a few kilos of wildflower seeds at the top of our land - it now has the least number of wildflowers than everywhere else!

[my fat hen]

We get lots of holly and hawthorn seedlings, aquilegia, foxgloves, toadflax, poppies and cotoneaster and ribes bushes seem to sprout up everywhere too.

 

Ash trees seed too -usually in the planters
