Questions

I have a bed of summer,mixed, and autumn fruiterer. Each year I prune my summer plants. I find there are berries unripe new on new green shoots. my question to you DO I REALLY HAVE SUMMER FRUITING RASBERRIES

I have freesias growing in a window box in the greenhouse. They flowered during the summer but have died down now, except for one. What do I do with them over the winter? Should I replant them in new compost and leave them in the greenhouse?

I am looking for a creeper to grow relatively quickly up the front gable wall of my house. Ivy while self supportive is fine but a bit too bland and maybe a little vigorous. Prefer something with a bit of colour.Maybe a mixture, honeysuckle? Virginia creeper?What time of year is best to plant? Should I cut through the footpath to plant or build bed on top of path? What supports?

What are the ideal trees for a wet site? I have an area of about 20m x 15m which holds water and has a few hidden springs. Thought about draining but not sure if area can be drained its so wet!Do Laurel grow in wet areas also?

Will a Laurel hedge survive 2km from the East Coast, My house is fairly exposed to the East wind.

I am considering buying a large specimen of an Olive Tree. It will be planted in the front garden so will be generally exposed to whatever weather conditions are there. Conditions underfoot are good and not prone to waterlogging. I am not concerned about producing fruit but wondering how an Olive tree will fare in our climate. I've noticed a lot of garden centres stocking these now.
