Monkey puzzle problems

Sorry, your problems aren't showing.

Is it waterlogged after the recent period of heavy rain? What kind of light situation is it in, and what kind of soil do you have?

Covering horsetail has no effect, I'm afraid - it'll just run along to where there is light. Your best bet is to use a glyphosate-based weedkiller (glyphosate is non-residual, and inactivated completely on contact with the ground), crushing the horsetail first so it absorbs the weedkiller; it's also an idea to add a drop of washing-up liquid to the weedkiller. This won't get rid of it all, but will shift a significant amount. The rest can either be treated again, or you can keep pulling it up when you see it.

Sowing in wet conditions or wait?

Don't sow until the ground has dried out a little. If you sow into very wet ground the seeds may well rot, as you suspect.

No. If the plant has produced them without being forced under glass they are fine.

What's the weather like in your area?

It was a very cold night here, too - it got down to 0.3C. Fortunately, I'd brought my tender plants in.

clematis

Wait and see what happens. If it wilts completely and goes brown you probably have clematis wilt. Cut it back to ground level, feed well and you will get fresh shoots.

Cotton Lavender

Lavender and cotton lavender are not the same plant and can't be treated in the same way. Lavender is lavandula, whilst cotton lavender is santolina. If you cut into the old wood on lavandula it will not regenerate and die.
