I planted a Chamomile lawn in spring and it has done really well. I trimmed it back in july but left some which flowered beautifully. I wonder now tho' what I should do with it now and in spring? IT has some weeds, which I will pull out but should I feed it, if so, with what? will it withstand a severe winter?

I have planted snowdrops and hope to 'force' them to flower at xmas. Can this be done? If so, I have put them in a dark cool place but wonder if I should water/feed them, and also, when should I bring them into the warmth/light in order to have them flower for xmas.I have also planted baublets from my lillies (they were vey beautiful and healthy this summer) and potted them in a mix of compost and grit. I have also put a layer of grit on top of pots. Where shuld I store them - light/dark, should I water/feed them over winter? when shuld I plant them out? after frost? Thanks Harriet

I have lots of lillies in pots and in the ground. They have largely stopped flowering by now and I am wondering if I should let the stalks die back naturally or cut the stalks. Would appreciate your advice
