I have approx 150 ft of a narrow bank approx 3 Ft wide approx 45 degree slant south facing . As I can't mow it, it gets quite unsightly in summer I have just started this year to keep Bees and I was wondering what would you recommend that I sow that would give me flowers in the summer and ground cover in the winter.Would lungworth be suitable? I went to plant finder on the web site but came up with blank.Many Thanks Sean

Dear Gerry,I have a vegetable patch that is one year old, at the east side of a new house. I grew some vegetables it is last year but the soil is not good and nothing has been grown in it since last last autum, its now quite weedy with the remains of last years vegetation grass etc I intend to get a couple of loads of top soil in the coming weeks and spread approx 6 inches to a foot of top soil over the area. The question is do I need to kill the weeds etc and dig the ground before I spread the top soil .Many Thanks Sean
