What would you advise to start planting to get myself up and running as a new gardiner? I have a small back and front garden. south facing.paved in the back with plenty of room for plants on the edge or in pots and all grass in front. I bought and planted sunflower seeds in a pot which are sprouting.Otherwise I have no idea where to start.....any ideas?
I bought cabbage, spinach and baby gem seedlings yesterday and was wondering when I can plant them out. Is it still too cold?I have a mini greenhouse so would you advise putting them in that for a few weeks? Or perhaps putting them in the greenhouse/indoors at night time and outside during the day? Either way, at what stage do you think i should plant them down?

Can I do anything to restore this bitter, red, very dry rhubarb.It's been like this since I moved it from another part of the garden. I've added lots of manure but it,s still the same.
Dandelions, docks - what type of soil do they enjoy?
My pot-grown Rowan developed coral spot. I am aware the fungus lives in dead wood and as the tree was young and got wind damaged I presume it was susceptible to the disease. I have disposed of the tree but should I also dispose of the compost or can it be reused?
