Astrantias not flowering

compost as possible and mulch. I have just looked on the Internet and several sites advise you to deadhead after flowering to encourage a second flush. I am going to try it. Nothing to loose. I bought small astrantia plants from eBay in May. They have all by christopher2

Some pics of my before and after garden

so hard in our gardens that sometimes it is good to look back and see just what we have done over the years. I must admit I cannot sit in the garden for very long without seeing something that needs deadheading, or pruning, or watering... the list by Lavender Lady

Leaving tulips in the ground

draining soil. Even if you dig them up dont expect them all to come back when replanted. Some people treat them as annuals. I plant a few pots each year with packs from Lidl. After dead-heading I feed with tomato fertiliser, or home-made comfrey by Charlie November

Geraniums (not Pelargoniums)

understanding had been that 'Mrs Kendall Clark' would bloom through to the autumn and that you can just leave them to their own thing. Then I read that you should deadhead them or cut the stems at the base to prompt more growth and blooms. I have 3 by yarrow2

Talkback: Identifying bumblebees

! Only a few visit my late opening roses and fushia flowers and just watching them flit between them is fascinating and deeply calming! I love bees, and they never seem bothered by me doing my job. As I'm deadheading, I've had several on my hands, just by kparry

Talkback: Cosmos

is keeping on top of the dead heading, but after a while you just need to chill out and enjoy a few dying heads! I can think of no better value for money than cosmos,I agree though that the deadheading is a bind. I've just popped in to see the new Gardeners by hazel.luskin@gmail.com

Plants still in flower

the garden far more than is usual in January. I have even mown the lawn! It seems a strange time of year to be dead-heading summer flowers! However, the frosts over the last few days have put paid to the begonias, marigolds and nasturtiums, so I have by ruth BAILEY

Talkback: Keeping up with the weather

Talkback: Dandelions

took a photo. If they weren't such thugs, we'd prize them. If they don't clash with my colour schemes I let them flower but try to deadhead. I also let other wild plants flower, like cow parsley, herb robert and red dead nettle, which lots of insects by bushybushkins
