Our front lawn went almost completely brown in the summer. It's revived during the winter but is covered in all sorts of weeds, what is the best way of getting rid of these and when is the best time...
Every year I try to grow aubrietia (aubrieta? - I've found both spellings),but it never takes. It must be the soil, I suppose, though gardens on both sides and opposite have gorgeous trailing displays...
I’ve just bought a morello cherry tree for £4.99 from home bargains BUT I don’t have a garden! My intention is to trim it and pop it in a pot in my conservatory - I currently have it soaking in a...
A quick question. I have bought a bulb which apparently needs the crown exposed when planting. But what is the crown ? I looked on the Net and all the gardening websites seem to say is, "the area...
In 2017, I had my old lawn lifted, new borders put in, the ground levelled and new turf laid. Since then, I've swept up leaves each week, spiked the lawn and watered it, as instructed by the gardener...
I'm 99.999% sure it's a weed that I'll have to get rid of, but I do know that clearing other parts of the garden gave a new lease of life to plants I reckon a previous owner had planted. My issue is I...
...that seem to grow in the garden. I'm unsure if this was a part of some seed packet I sprinkled in the border, or a weed; I suspect the latter because it is so invasive. I've let it be this year but...
We have a small (2 foot high) fig tree on our balcony. It was given to us in August and has actually given small, sweet fruits. We repotted it when it was given to us in August and it has thrived...

Any recommendations for a strong weed killer - not the wee spray type you get in supermarkets. Am going to lay membrane and chip an area. Has been dug out but the dreaded dandelions are through again.
I've seen a few nasturtium plants have come up in odd corners of the garden. Do you think they will have time to flower before the frosts come ? I often think plants seen to know what they're doing,...
I’ve manage to germinate some lavender seeds in pots on the window bottom - I’ve just looked and there is an invasion (well 3 or 4) of fungi I hope it won’t infect the lavender Am I over...

Do I prune the mopheads before the winter or leave it until the spring. Friends I have asked seem divided as to when is best. I am not a brilliant gardener so advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
This week I have weeded and mulched about a tenth of my borders. I used chipped bark and have so far used 180 litres. It's going to cost me a fortune! Anyway, what I want to know is... will the mulch...
Hi Green fingered ABers out there .... I've just taken delivery of a dozen hellebores as young plug plants. I thought about planting them out (in pots) today, but with autumn coming and winter not so...
I've asked about my aborted attempt to grow spuds already, and eventually shoved them in various bags hoping to plant them again next Spring. Been meaning to check up on them, and just have. Most were...
Why has my wisteria decided to have a second flush of flowers, healthy plant ,15 yrs old ,pruned as per RHS guidelines, weird but much appreciated.
