I have blueberries in pots. I plan to put them in the ground in november. the soil is ph 6. should i use your polyhene lined trench method? or should i use an acidic mulch? basically i dont want to dig a trench but if it would affect my blueberries i will.

I have been growing 4 different species of chilli peppers in my greenhouse, in pots. Whilst I planted the seeds quite late (mid May, owing to the fact that I was building my greenhouse!), 3 of the plants have started to produce chillies.However, the leaves are withering a bit at the moment, despite keeping them watered, and there is no sign of whitefly/greenfly etc. The actual peppers look healthy enough.Any ideas what the problem is, if any, or is this usual?
I am new to gardening and have beautiful rosebushes in the garden of the house we bought recently. My question is : I have planted some ground cover plants such as geraniums and they are starting to cover the base of the rosebushes. is that Ok or do I need to leave a certain perimeter free of any plants Hope this makes sense.
I have a hibiscus growing in the garden for about 10 years now and every year it produces millions of flower buds. They get bigger and bigger and just as they are about to bloom, they just fall off. It has never actually flowered for me. It gets lots of sun and is in a walled garden. Does it need lots of heat or should I feed it more?
