Made a couple of posts about this hollyhock over the last few months. After seeing its full growth I’m really starting to enjoy having it in my garden.

What I’d like to do is figure out how to preserve the seeds it generates and grow more along this fence line for next year. From what AI told me, seems too early yet. Some petals are falling off but apparently I need to wait for the pod to turn brown, then plant the new seeds in September?

Any advice is welcome.

The heads have still got some life to them so I don’t plan to any time soon, however I wondered if it would be worth cutting the heads off soon to allow for new growth?

They are starting to get wild in my planter and overtaking my other plants. Would I be okay to trim them down a bit after the heads go brown? Would it affect growth at all?

Despite its location it can still capture part of our bedroom at the right angle, and due to it being a floodlight it can light up our room at night.

What can I do at the corner of my fence to block visibility? I was thinking of a trellis but not sure how to attach it to the fence without it looking weird.

Just for context this is our fence. We put it up after the neighbour was being a prat and we don’t talk, so reasoning with him about the camera is out of the question. Also, this is the side of our house and we will eventually have a bricked driveway.

Welcome to any ‘permanent’ solutions.

Apologies if this isn’t the right place to ask, but I took my 2019 Evoque to a car wash the other day and noticed two of the letters had come off.

I bought a new set off eBay which looks like you just unpeal the foam pads and stick on, but I want to make sure I’m doing it correctly.

What’s the best way to clean off the old residue and stick the new letters on? Is there a special adhesive I should use? And are there any templates I can use to make sure the letters align correctly?

Thanks in advance.

Starting to see lovely white flowers blossoming on this plant. From recent feedback and further progress it looks like a white hollyhock rather than a tree mallow, but I could still be wrong. What do you guys think?

It started off in my in-laws kitchen in a tiny little pot but I’ve since grown it into this monster. It’s in my smaller planter as I wasn’t expecting much growth. What is it and can I move it yet?

I get it. A weed is a plant you don’t want. But what is this exactly? My neighbour has it growing up my fence and trellis. I’m worried it will interfere with my clematis. Should I get rid of it?

I have a Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum). My garden is south facing, and my tree faces the east so it gets the morning sun which I believe is fine for this variety. Why are the ends of my tree staring to die? Is this normal? I’ve pruned a few of them off but more keep showing.
