If you could have any plant / tree in your garden

I'm with Salino, Rhododendron King George, Mine is about 6ft tall and has been in situ for 4yrs and it's flowered for the first time this year, the perfume is breathtaking. If you haven't got space for King George there's a new rhodi called Tinkerbird it's small and white nothing like King George till you smell the perfume, so it's worth a look

Killing off old tree roots

if it's in a suitable place light a bonfire over it, it may take several fires but it will burn away eventually

Hi, I thought this plant was really pretty aquired some seed and have it in several patches in the garden. It's gone mad it's invading everything how on earth can I get rid of it, I've tried digging it out but just miss a little bit and there you have another plant. It's driving me mad and spoiling my borders, any advise would be gratefully received.Thanks all, Elise

sanity in need of restoring

Hi, we've got a large garden and through the years we've found all the above plus brake shoes clutch cables engine bits and old metal window frames. But the best find of all was a gas cooker I was double digging a patch and struck something that felt quite substantial when I excavated a little more I found the cooker. Now bear in mind I was double digging so it was quite deep so I'm afraid I covered it up and we've lawned over that area. Who knows at some time in the future someone else may have the dubious pleasure of digging it out I know I havn't got the energy so good luck and enjoy

Poorly hebe

Hi JG, Mine's done the same thing but yesterday when I looked closely wondering wether to did it up or prune it back and pray, I noticed  slight signs of growth at the base of the stems. So I think leave it awhile and cross your fingers

Rhododendron

Hi, some excellent advise on here there's just a couple of  other things rhodies can get sun  burn so don't keep it in the sun all day and make sure it doesn't get waterlogged and don't let it dry out. It's a good idea to stand the pot on a couple of bricks to be sure it can drain efectively

aldi easter monday.

I've bought roses, bedding, seeds  and  shrubs from Aldi and their plants are fine. last week I bought enough plants for 2 hanging baskets they cost me £5 60p, and have doubled in size in the laast week, the roses's 2 climber's and 2  shrubs bought and planted last year, are budding up nicely.It's just common sense if they look poorly don't buy
