Planted 2 brooms 3 years ago, have pruned fairly hard each year but they are just getting too big with strong branches & a bit bare at bottom. Can I cut back to 3 feet & remove some more branches.Always get very beautiful flowering & colour.They are planted about 3 ft back on both sides of driveway. Help.
Hi Gerry, we have a holiday home with small stones all around it. This is looking really bad with weeds. We have tried various weed killers, but with only very limited and short lived affect. Is there something we can use to kill all the variety of weeds and then seal the ground?Thanks

I am planting grass and wild flowers into 8" wide bowls for wedding centre pieces for next May. What flowers would you suggest that will be in bloom first week in May and when do i plant them? What tips do you have?
Hi Gerry, At least ten, maybe more years ago I planted some alliums in a bed in my garden. A year or so later I decided to get rid of them. However they will not go away and have spread all over the garden. Every year since then, at this time of the year I remove hundreds of them, being very careful to remove the little bulbs as well, and am always always on the lookout for any bulbs I might have left behind Is there anything I can do to get rid of them once and for all? Many thanks Regards Kay
