I was given beetroot plants last october which i planted in my polytunnel. They have overwintered ok, and are growing. Will they produce beets this year, or should I take them out and plant new seedlings now?

Gerry, Boundary hedge is a blackthorn hedge. What would you suggest for trying to stop it growing in to garden as it is growing very strong and can be hard to cut back every year. Would like to put a mixed border inside the hedge but not sure what would grow considering the blackthorn will continue to grow inwards.

I have just spread Sulphate of Iron for moss together with Sulphate of Ammonia to feed the lawn. The moss has already turned black. How long can I wait before I can scarify the lawn.
