My Mum has MS and uses a scooter. She loves gardening and used to look after our walled garden at home. Are there any gardens you would recommend suitable for us to visit in Leinster? I was looking at June and Jimi Blake's gardens however they are on gravel and have a hill. She would need hard or light gravel paths and no steep hills.

I used an organic bug spray from Tesco (contains 20g/l natural fatty acids and HEXAHYDRO-1,3,5-TRIS(2-HYDROXY-ETHYL)-SYM-TRIAZINE) on parsley, thyme and other herbs that I have growing on my balcony. They were covered in greenfly. Would it be ok to eat these herbs within a few weeks?

My parsnip plants have started to get brown patches on the leaves. Do you know what this could be? I used to have them covered and uncovered them about three weeks ago.

I have small parsnip plants which I have had covered with a netting tent. I was wondering if I should take it off as it limits the amount of sunlight reaching the seedlings or should I leave it on to prevent any bugs getting at the plants.
