Problem with my shrubs

Have you watered them? Don't let newly planted shrubs dry out.

Do you water them with hard tap water? Rain water is best. They need feeding with acid fertiliser. Flowers can turn brown because of frost or morning sun after a cold night.

MORNING FORKERS

Thanks Bev, I'd forgotten about Beechgrove.

Can anyone identify this plant?

Actually, I haven't either, but I saw the head gardener at Hyde Hall (I think it was) getting rid of it there on an old Gardener's World. He had to get the bed ready to plant for the new season. It was green and he sprayed it with Glyphosate.

Planting out

You don't have to hold back on planting the erysimum, as lazy gardener said, it is hardy.

The garden varieties would be much better. Here is a site to click on which tells you about them and has lots of different ones to look at.

another plant/weed ID!

They pop up in my flower beds, if anyone tells you it's a weed you can tell them it's a wildflower!

Can anyone identify this plant?

You really don't want horse tail and it has deep roots.The best way to get rid of it is to spray with glyphosate, but don't let it touch the rose.

Good Evening FORKERS

Who said they wanted cake? Will this do? It's my favourite

- gooey chocolate. It's a bit late now, but I had a slice instead of a mug of hot chocolatebefore bed.

EVIL Japanese Anemone

My thugs (that are not recognised weeds) are Virginia creeper (grows across the flower beds and up the middle of shrubs) and periwinkle, which is trying to take over my biggest border, growing over everything else. Have to dig up plants to get the periwinkle out of their roots.
