Please ell me what to do with my summer bulbs!!!

. If you live in a very warm part of UK you could possibly risk well mulching them in the Autumn & leaving in situ- but I'm not sure about that. Ranulculus- plant claw-side downwards 2.5cm/1in deep in well drained sunny site, again march/April. Some however by PaperFlowers

be in the garden IF the snow 'mulch' has gone and if the ground isn't too cold and wet....there is plenty to do in the GH if the garden isn't an option. Pricking out is one of my favourite things to do...with my trusty radio by my side and a glass of wine to hand by Verdun

Alstroemeria (Peruvian Lily)

they need good nutritious soil and sunshine. When in good growth i try to give them a mulch but often forget! Mine are in such conditions and flower for ages. I have friends who grow this successfully in the shadow of the South Downs, very chalky by Rosa carriola

Too cold to relocate perennials?

. They's just been dug up from someone else's garden. Since the plants are dormant the risks are probably slight, and you could mulch heavily which is no bad thing in any case. If you are so stir crazy that you must celebrate Easter in the garden by Tim Burr

More plants needed

suggest that you plant more of the plants that you have, in groups of 3, 5 or 7 depending on the space available. You could then hoe between them and mulch with compost to keep weeding to a minimum. Thanks for the ideas. Hopefully it will be warm enough by Mrs F

How to widen borders which are clay

give away large clumps of plants when I divide my stocks so maybe near you??? I mulch my clay areas with the product of the shredder. It holds the moisture in summer and avoids some of the cracking. If the soil does crack the shreddings fall down by * Red Dahlia *

Compost bins - tips welcome!

the job and if you turn the compost yourself it goes even faster. Needs a good 6 months but will be just in time for spring mulching. I read the turning ones work less well as they don't have the cubic area to let it get warm enough. The larger the area by Tootles

Plant identification please

. Ideal requirements are a sheltered site in shade or part-shade in moist, peaty, acid soil. Cut off any frost-damaged spring shoots as soon as possible. Dead-head after flowering to improve growth. You could give it a mulch of ericaceous compost now by Jo Stephenson
