campanulas

! Should i lift the plant after removing damaged leaves and overwinter in greenhouse, as hasn't flowered yet? These campanulas are hardy so having it inside isnt needed. The leaves are probably beginning to die back now because of the shortening day length by diana dani`els

help my fuchia has been eaten!

I noticed a couple of weeks ago that fuchias overwintering in my unheated conservatory had bits missing out of the leaves. Today the leaves have completely been eaten. Does anyone know if I can do anything about this? Vine weevils usually eat chunks by mucky

LILY BULBS

- the beetles overwinter in soil. Re-plant your bulbs as quickly as you possibly can - unlike, say, daffodils they will be damaged if they dry out at all. by lindapalmara
