Talkback: 'Grow Your Own' Week

Adam,this is good practical advice and I enjoy your tips in the magazine. But am I the only one who struggles with wanting to grow vegetables? I'm doing it because I feel that I should -- I want to teach our children how, and I've been persuaded by Jools

Talkback: Fragrant plants

My favourite in the winter is the Sarcococca - smells so sweetly and for a great distance. My late husband was blind for 15 years and I filled the garden with scented plants for his sake. His favourite was Sweet William and I still grow lots by Chiswickian

Talkback: A gardeners' visit to Madeira

I saw a poinsettia plant in Nairobi over fourteen feet high in full flower. It was glorious but then my Clematis montana is too, climbing over my garage roof. I agree, Pippa, it's lovely to see the exotics but the real thrill is what we can grow by Tammy McLeod

Flowers we don't like?

kerri, is it the scent of hyacinths that you don't like? I'm not a fan of cut flowers at all except sweet peas if I grow them. I prefer my flowers live and growing outside. Also, in the past, kittens and young cats have always seen flowers in vases by artjak

Talkback: Ivy

look out for this orchid-like, leafless, flower coming up, often yards from the host plant, from April onwards. I would love to grow a rambling rose against a wall, covered in pebbledash, but am not too sure how to prune a rambling rose, and how often by Anne Wareham

Gardening as part of the National Curriculum

would possibly kill its appeal anyway! I wonder whether the way forward is gardening clubs, as was featured on a tv news item the other day. A school had an orchid club and pupils were becoming expert in their care. Schools often have space for a garden by quercus_rubur
