Im amazed. How did the flowerscubes into those ice cubes? 

Agree with tagetes with indoor tomatoes.  However the former need to be grown well before planting with the latter to help deter whitefly.  I'm sure this works.  Not so sure about combating ground elder though.  

Parsley and carrots need to be apart and I grow shallots or onions as a shield for parsley "carrot" fly.

Sir tid I think jolly bee is better than rozanne....................????

Plant of the century is impossible to identify. At each season a plant stands out but it's "fame" lasts only until the next pretender comes.

Can't do much.  Can you water thoroughly.  Those areas will prob die.  Suggest you reseed when those areas become bare

Never use fertiliser anything like that if it's state has become sticky,or lumpy.

Problem affecting impatiens, tomatoes and geraniums

Posted: 08/05/2013 at 16:27

Put them outside yes but I think fleece is a sensible precaution for couple of days.  I dont think there is an  issue but have a look for soil pests like vine weevil. They do attack pelargoniums and impatiens

sambucus black lace cutting back? confusing advice

You can cut elders as hard as you like...no problem at all.

I wouldn't move your elder.  However, cuttings are so easy, so quick and can be taken now.  You will have a new plant next year
