I sowed cosmos from seed this year and succeeded in growing three plants! They were a reasonable height but didn't flower. I had them in a planter not directly in the ground to try and keep the slugs away. Is that the reason? TaShirley

Three questions in one I'll try to be brief.I planted summer raspberries in my allotment two years ago this summer. They grow but not to any great height and leaves curl no fruit to talk of. I have autumn raspberries beside them and they usually are fine.I have a coronet coxes pippin in a pot which I regularly water and feed . There are plenty of apples coming on but I noticed last week that the leaves are curling and spotting. Will this affect the apples ripening?I have honeysuckle growing wonderfully but the old leaves are dying off. Is this just nature dropping off the leaves or have I a problem. They have lovely autumn berries.

I have had a very successful growing sumac in my back garden which is still producing plenty of suckers. however the tree has not produced any leaves at all. the male flowers developed and then nothing. Should I dig it up and how easy is it to get all the roots out in order to plant another tree. i was thinking of an apple any suggestion.
