Horse buggered the photography. Everyone's got red-eye. If he'd drawn a couple of eyes on his bald pate they'd've had red-eye too.

eh

post them anyway

Its either copper nails or I'll invite you down to give them what you consider a light pruning. The latter option would probably be the speedier death.

To the left out of shot is a mature olive tree - I love olives but I'm told they are a devil to cure.

I'll leave the gag about ill olives to someone incapable of anything better.

You called I can't do it , must be something you put in the food.

I was wondering about the red eye

There was alot of bright light reflecting off Horses bald spot , would that cause red eye in the photos?

I've got a trough stuffed with trailing petunias. Despite getting equal sunlight, those at one end of the trough always seem to die. It's south facing in full sun- planted in bedding compost but I can never be bothered to use plant feed.

Do they all get equal water?
is the trough drained evenly all along or just at one end?
Is the trough positioned near a wall at one end?
Why not use a liquid plant food added to the water , that way you feed every time you water.

Do you have any suggestions to my garden?

[Hydey]

A nice rock garden indeed, I wouldn't touch a thing.

Didn't even invite me...

Hydey, I have a small potted houseplant with a problem. One by one the leaves yellow and die. They do not dry out, just turn yellow. I though I was overwatering, the Number One Houseplant Menace, so I cut way back on the water. Nothing changed, so I tried increasing the water. That didn't help either. Any suggestions?

Thank you!

That often happens to indoor plants that don't get enough light but if it is getting planty of light then the next thing to try would be repotting in a good quality potting mix .

Could also just be hungry so give it some plant food but I would repot first and then use a once a year plant food.
