Hi Gerry, I am just back in the country and need to know is it too late to prune a rose tree. There is new growth and stands at about 8 foot all the new growth is at the top of the tree. I prune every year in early Spring to about 3 feet and it always performs very well. Your advice would be appreciated. Pats

Hi Gerry, I want to start a new vegetable garden from a rough lawn. The problem is that the garden is used by 2 dogs and it is contaminated with dog poo. Can I ever grow veg there (I have obvious health concerns) and if so how do I prepare the soil? Many thanks, josephp
My first foray into vegetable growing, my onion seedlings, sown a month ago, in a seed tray filled with multi-purpose compost, on an indoors windowsill , where they still reside, are now about 4 inches long but refuse to 'stand up'.Is this normal or what have I done wrong ?
I have been having problems with growing seedings in my propagator. They all die, they flop over and they have very thin stems and don't form their true leaves.
