where to keep dianthus

better. I don't like taking hardy plants into the house to overwinter if I can help it - it promotes soft etiolated growth and as you say they're beautiful and bushy now, you don't want to get them all thin and drawn. by Bev Pounsett-Krynauw

Garlic in modules

I have decided to plant my garlic in pots to overwinter them. I am hoping I can then get them into the ground in the early summer. I have looked up how to do this ( fairly simple really) but it does not say how much to water them. I am finding things by frensclan

Green Bug-Nasties on the Pea Family

, but they not only came back on the Lupins but also infested my sweetpeas at the other end of the garden - never had anything other than the occasional freenfly on those before. I've aquired a number of other lupins and overwintered them in a cold-frame - but now by HyppyByker

How do I take and grow cuttings of Smoke Tree (royal Purple) please?

the parent plant. I too take cuttings as blairs does.....August/sep time...but in pots left outside in shade. For me, they are easy and root quickly. I cover cuttings with polythene bag for few weeks. Then overwinter, less polythene, in greenhouse by davielovesgravy

perennial plug plants

grown quite substantially by September. If my experience of T& M is anything to go by you will have had v small plants. I would pot on, as you have Melanie, and pot on again if growth is good. I would overwinter then until spring and pot on again by melanie walker

PELAGONIUMS

anyway Sounds good to me, how would you like to have wet feet all the time? Also it has ben very dark, and pelargoniums really do need light, lots of it. Our old ones whch have been overwintered for a couple of years are fine, but they have mature roots by lindapalmara

my rosemary!!

, and can over-winter as a caterpillar, so could be active on your rosemary now. Chemicals that work by contact with pests don't work on tortrix as it protects itself with plant material. I wouldn't want to advise a systemic insecticide on a plant you might by jdjp122

STREPTOCARPUS

then you could just remove it, or cut off some of it, wouldnt harm things I'd have thought. J. I keep mine in the cool greenhouse overwinter. Don't forget that you can make lots of new plants with the big leaves, each leaf cut across into slices by Maurice Vernon

Talkback: Purple-sprouting passion

I've got the same problem, three foot tall excellent plants but no flower heads and its november now any advice welcome. Early purple sprouting is worth the effort and will overwinter perfectly well (I live in the north) however, it needs staking by Pam
