I sowed patio-container type tomatoes, think they might be tumbling toms. I have them on my window sill and they are growing strongly. This weekend they have started to develop white spots on some leaves. I want to find out what this is and how to stop it. I haven't started feeding them yet, will start now. They are in quite a sunny spot.

We have a new garden we have just finished clearing out (it was in a landfill state when we bought it) and have finally started to plant. Can you advise on what flowers and plants would be good for the less formal /wild flower look. Also there is a corner at the back which gets pretty much no sun at all, is there any sort of tree /shrub that could be grown in this spot to cover the fence?

I have two young apple trees, this is their first year to blossom. I have them since they were little more than whips they were a gift in 2006. They appear to be very healthy, they are old varieties, Appletown Wonder and Glenstal Cooker.One of them has 4 - 5 blossoms and the other is covered in blossom. My question is should I remove some of the blossom from the heavily blossomed one (Appletown Wonder)?
