Emmald Hostas: ... don`t think a single year has passed that I haven`t introduced yet another new Hosta into one of my garden pots. Last year I bought two, one variegated green and one blue tinged, Hubby tidied the pots and decided that the sad looking stumps that remained at the end of the season were only fit for the bin and that is where they ended up! I love the Hosta plant but sadly the slugs seem to love them too and despite a ...

... border, under a bush, or in a hanging basket. Most varieties are quick growing, although the variegated ones are slower. You will all have heard "Old Wives Tales" about Ivy crushing old houses, and dragging them down to the ground, well there are certain things to avoid like allowing Ivy to grow in gutters for instance, otherwise just ignore the Old Wives. These stories come from the days when Lime Mortar was used, but Ivy will not penetrate modern Portland Cement as long as it is in good condition. Another popular myth is that all Ivy is Poisonous, hence the name "Poison Ivy" Well, here is the truth about Poison Ivy according to Wikipedia:- T...

Machair1 Watercress
... the scientists discovered that there was also a fall in their harmful fat levels in the blood and an increase in their circulating antioxidants especially of carotene and lutein. Lutein is thought to be a protective chemical in relation to cataract and macular degeneration of the eye both really unpleasant to have. Further studies by others have indicated a possible reduction in bowel cancer too. This is also true of many leafy green vegetables and I think it may be wise for us to include some each day. Kale is also a good alternative as it is quick to cook-only a couple of minutes! It is certainly a superfood and contains vitamin A C, B1, B6, K and E, iron, calcium,...

janharper Watercress
... is one of my favourite foods. It comes in big cellophane packs from supermarkets like Tesco and Marks & Spencer. I particulary like the one stocked by M&S in early summer onwards. It is imported from Portugal because our own watercress season doesn t start until later in year. This is a leafy salad vegetable that has a peppery taste to it. It is great in salads, or in sandwiches. My favourite way of using it is to put it into sandwiches with Marmite. This is an extremely tasty and nutritious way to eat it, not to mention its befits if you are a diet. Watercress is grown in or near water and it was first introduced to England by the Romans. It is a gre...
