A Few Words About Ferns

Advantages: Easy To Grow
Disadvantages: Do Not Flower

The name Fern applies to over 20,000 different species of Plant that all belong to the Botanical Genus of Pteridophyta. They are grown widely in the UK and some species also grow wild but the commonest varieties are normally grown either indoors or outdoors to add foliage to other areas. I have a fern on my Kitchen Windowsill that I acquired as a little baby from a friend last year. I have no idea what type of Fern it is but it must be one of the common indoor varieties because I have seen this same Plant in several Garden Centres recently. Despite my eagerness to find out the true identity of my Plant this has so far eluded me. Every time that I stumble upon one it is simply labelled "Fern."

British Gas

Advantages: gas seems fine
Disadvantages: telephone nightmare

I had no problems at all when contacting the water supplier and the electricity supplier but when it came to the gas this was more of a problem that I could of dreamed. After phoning up the main line for British ...

Review of British Gas

Ferns, great for shady places

Advantages: Great for shady places
Disadvantages: Keep well watered or they suffer

We've got a shady area in our back garden where nothing will grow. It faces north, and so it never gets any sun, and it's cold there even in summer. Everything we plant is ok for a couple of weeks, then starts to grow long and lanky, trying to get some light, then it dies. I'd never considered ferns, they're boring, aren't they? Anyway, I was fed up of seeing bare ground so I bit the bullet and got 3 assorted ferns from the local nursery, and planted them. The ferns I bought were: Dryopteris filix-mas, (Male fern), Asplenium trichomanes (Maidenhair spleenwort) and Polypodium glycyrrhiza (Liquorice fern). They were £3.99 each, in 3litre pots. They were a nice size and looked established as soon as I'd planted them, in varying green, and different leaf shapes and sizes. It really brightened up the shady spot, and what's more, 12 ...
