Does anyone know anything about gardening?

If I ever manage to take some cuttings

I think they're pretty robust. I tried to remove one from our front garden to put it in a pot and managed to snap it with very few roots remaining. It's doing just fine and I left the remainder which is also doing just fine too.
Difficult to train into anything tidy though.

Crosspost from home thread…

Neighbours have a garage at the end of their garden, they have a landscaper who is renting it out so I gave them my number as we need some fencing doing and also neighbour mentioned he could help trim our trees.

He’s just rang and said that he wants to take our apple tree down as it’s undermining the garage and potentially causing damage. I’m obviously loath to do that, it’s a nice tree!

Any advice?

'Potentially' causing damage suggests that it isn't actually doing any damage and hasn't done any damage, in which case, keep the tree. The mere fact that the roots might or might not go underneath the garage is irrelevant. Apple trees aren't particularly bad as far as subsidence is concerned. Nothing like a willow or oak, at any rate.

Does anyone want free pink geranium X oxanium? Can pop them in a box and post.

Also have corn marigold seeds going.

Edit: and dahlia, yellow semi pompon. Nothing fancy but good growers so they will outpace the slugs if you grow them out in a 10 cm, then plant.

Cool berm

Before it gets too cold you should cut steps in the back and build a small kicker ramp next to the bottom at the front.

Then if it goes below 0° and or we get snow you can use it to sledge or snowboard down and catch air.
