I want to plant some shrubs between my neighbour's house and mine to act as a screen.Can you recommend some shrub that is hardy, evergreen and will grow tall and wide. I have lost a few shrubs in recent weather so need something that will be hardy.

Our neighbours have some very tall trees planted right beside the boundary fence between our gardens. There is leylandii, beech and oak - all are very tall at least 30 foot. I was planning on making a flower bed beside this boundary fence, is this possible or will anything grow so no near these trees. Not sure whether roots of trees will affect plants growing near them.

Last week I bought some Home Guard seed potatoes. When I opened them they are very soft with very long shoots already on them. I'm just wondering will these be okay to plant or should I take back and get others. I have other seed potatoes of British Queen chitting and these are much harder with shorter shoots.

Can you please advise most suitable bamboo to grow in a semi shade spot, non invasive / clump forming types only and will also act as a screen. Also bamboo needs to be hardy to cope with recent winters.
