Most gardeners know that daffodils, snowdrops, hyacinths and tulips grow from bulbs and that many other flowers grow from rhizomes, tubers or corms but what is the difference and can they all be treated in the same way? There are many different definitions to be found, but I think these explain the variations in quite simple terms: Bulb - a central bud surrounded by a fleshy layer. The bulb serves as a store for nutrients as well as a reproductive structure. Rhizome - a reproductive stem which grows horizontally underground, topped by shoots and with roots below. The stem also acts as a food store. Some rhizomes are edible, such as ginger, galangal and turmeric but common flowers are irises ...

Many people are afraid of growing plants from seed but it's really very simple and anyone can do it. All you really need is patience and diligence. There's nothing more rewarding than scattering a few seeds in a box and seeing them grow into real flowers or vegetables. In addition, it's much less expensive to buy a few packets of seeds and some compost than to buy the equivalent number of plants from a garden centre. This is particularly true if you have a large garden and need plenty of plants to fill the spaces but if your garden is small, why not share a few different packets of seeds with a friend or two. If, say, ...

Qualities of a Good Leader What makes a good leader? Leadership is rarely just about leading. It is about identifying potential in an individual, company or group and then helping them to unlock that potential. Leadership isn't telling people what to do; it's about showing the way and inspiring people to follow. An age old saying goes that; 'managers do things right, leaders do the right thing.'
