Hi guys, I have inherited a huge grape vine that needs managing. In fact it needs reducing by half. Can I cut it back now or should I wait till spring? Cheers Jo

Hi guys, I have a large patch of ground that half of is covered in weeds and the other is full of shrubs. I have cut most of the shrubs away and now want to dig the whole lot up, however, the sandy soil I have seems to be rock hard and I can't get a spade through it. Any suggestions? Cheers Jo

Thanks guys. Now all I have to do is start digging. Think I'll put the kettle on first.

Hi guys, I'm planning on digging up some large areas that are full of weeds and dead plants. What shall I do with all the soil that I dig up? Can I compost it or will the weeds continue to grow? Cheers Jo

Well between you I think you've got it sorted. Having done some research following your suggestions it looks like I have a hibiscus shrub and a quince shrub.

Thank you muchly

Shows you how much I know, I can't tell the difference between a tree and a shrub

Here's a picture of both shrubs.

Hi guys,

I've recently inherited a garden and I need to identify a couple of plants. One is a tree that is blossoming now and producing some gorgeous flowers and another is a shrub (I think) that produced lovely red flowers earlier in the spring but has now produced what looks like a green fruit of some kind but I'm not sure if it's edible.

Could you have a look at the photos and tell me what you think?
