Hi Ann, we will need to record another video for that one:)
To reactivate an archived garden please go to your 'Archived list'
Please be aware you need to have 'spare capacity' in your Shoot subscription level to have another garden activated.
Also, for any hobby members, you do not have 'archive', 'transfer' or 'reactivate' permissions and need to contact us to get any archived gardens reactivated.
Thanks!
Nicola

I have a number of gardens in my archive but I cannot see how to see them or to reinstate a garden if I need to.

Hi Kari, you are right that you cannot as a hobby member archive and/or reactivate gardens. You can just edit it and rewrite over them. So you can amend the garden name, plant list etc. for your two gardens as often as you like however. Is there a particular reason you want to archive it? All the best, Nicola

I would like to remove one of my gardens from the Active page. How do I do this?
I saw archiving instructions on this forum for a professional user but didn't find the equivalent for an amateur.
Thanks

It is not chives, but a wild plant (not sure of name) which grows in my front garden, although I did not pant it. It can be found on the mountains in Wales in wet/damp areas, although it will grow anywhere. As kids we used to call it a "bull rush" but I don't know why it got this name.
I think it will self seed from the small brownish flower head it grows. Hope this helps.

I have a plant growing in a wooden container and don't know what it is. It is very similar in appearance to "Chives" but instead of a flower head at the top of leaf it has little tufty flowers about halfway up each leaf.

Hi Lindsay, you can archive any 'unshared gardens'. If you want to archive a garden which is shared, first please remove anyone who is sharing the garden profile and then you will have the archive and transfer ownership options again. (See the image below from your account. We have removed any client information and added arrows showing you where to manage the unsharing and archiving). I hope that helps? Thanks Nicola

In forum: Identify a plant
Hi, my wife planted a load of seeds from a mixed herb pack, and although most have come up as we'd expected (basil, rocket, chives), this one has come up with them! It looks weedy to me, with its spiky leaves and thick spiky stem, but the flowers that have come through on it are not what I'm used to seeing in local weeds. Is it some kind of herb, or just a really pretty weed?
Thanks

Hi Peter, we had too many problems with people accidentally deleting their gardens so currently you cannot delete archived gardens. Is there an issue with keeping them in the archived list? Thanks Nicola

Hi Nicola,
Thanks to you and your follower for the pointer. The foliage does look like a Rosemary but i'm not sure about the flowers, if you look on the attached photo you can see the flower stalks, they are long to about 8" and are formed at the end of last years growth and seems to be just one bud on each stalk. I cant see any flowers like this in the Rosemary archives/google/RHS When i inherited this plant in the early summer it was mostly brown (dried out), it had all those dead heads which look like last years rather than this Springs.
looks like i may have to be patient and wait for the flowers.
regards
Steve

Hi,
I wonder if anyone could help. I planted this from seed and noted it as chives. It's obviously not that and I'm really struggling to work out what it is...!
Does anyone have any thoughts ?
Thanks so much

It depends entirely on what you like to eat. But different herbs like different conditions. Some of my favourites like sage, thyme, rosemary are Mediterranean and like well drained soil in sun. Lay sage leaves on a mackerel fillet, drizzle with a little oil, wrap in streaky bacon and bung it in the oven for about 10 minutes. Delicious. Mint likes it moister, I pick it when it is young and make mint sauce which I then freeze into ice cubes and use as needed; I also make mint and apple jelly. Mint tea is good too. Chives don't seem too fussy about soil and position and are pretty in the flower border (their flowers are edible) and go well in a potato salad. They are a good companion plant as they deter greenfly. Golden oregano - good on pizzas - also attracts beneficial insects, as does borage. Its flowers taste of cucumber - find recipes at http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/borage. Dill attracts good insects like hoverflies and is good in pickles (I add some to my pickled courgettes). There is plenty to choose from. Just do it!

Hello again Keith,
I just googled Cucurbitaceae and tropical fruits of Peru and this came up, looks like it maybe?

Best wishes,

Hi there,
I don't think that it is wild garlic as the leaves do not look wide enough, but, it does remind me of garlic chives, with the flat leaf, although mine is not in flower yet. Important to check before any consumption.
Good luck with it,
Samantha Jane
