    If it's normal purple flowers then I'd guess it's the normal spear
    thistle (Cirsium vulgare). But other big, purple-flowered thistle-like
    plants include cardoon, globe artichoke and cotton thistle.

    Re: Identify a thistle?
    If we are talking thistles, what is mine? It's 8 feet high, multistemmed,
    normal purple flowers just coming out. It's so big and wide I might have to
    cut it back so I can get down the garden.
    My friend thinks it should be in the Guinness Book of Records.

    A neighbour cannot go near tomato plants although he usually has a

    I have some sort of allergy to some conifer foliage but by no means all.

    Re: Flower ID
    I have a number of different varieties here. Unlike all my
    neighbours, I planted them very deeply, on a bed of sand, tuber and
    then soil. I never lift them and they survive!!!!! Mind you, not a
    shoot is showing yet but we had a vicious winter.

    You need to move to the Auvergne, Kate. Our Pompiers are lovely; not

    Gosh, Judith, you're very privileged! The pompiers won't come out for
    wasps or even for hornets in the Dordogne. They used to come out for
    bees, but no longer for anything, you have to get and pay for
    specialists. We had hornets in the chimney two years ago - we lit the

    Thanks for the replies. Council pest control it will be. But I guess
    they'll be closed for the weekend now, so we'll keep applying the foam
    and powder and see what the situation is Sunday PM, with a view to

    Re: Wasp nest under floor
    I've had success with "Raid" wasp killer,
    You can squirt this up to at least 6' and it can penetrate a long way
    into spaces between floors, joists etc.
    Give it a long hard sustained burst and runaway indoors. They
    don't like it up 'em. Repeat the following day.

    Suggest you start with tubers - always a good selection at garden
    centres or B&Q and such like. They even thrive in poor soil.

    Well I am much more inexperienced and untrained and I have lost my

    easier to grow from seed or tubers.

    I met John Inman once when we were having lunch at a friend's house.

    One of the women on the allotment site is allergic to tomato foliage.
    But not all irritation is due to allergies (e.g. nettle stings). I

    If you use the powder each evening around the hole they get enough on
