Roses on my driveway
of cold winters and warm, sometimes dry summers.   I have been growing lavenders from seed since the spring (Hidcote, Munstead & Elegance Sky) and rosemary, and my plan is to use these as between and underplanting for some rosa rugosa.  I will probably go by ChapelGirl2

DAMSONS
and maybe putting fleece over it at night next spring. Reading your replies I am now wondering if they are actually damsons.  I have just picked them (August 10th) they are small, deep purple and very soft.  I have tasted a couple and they are quite sweet by Poppy Red

Dahlia
question you can try emailing him gardeningdilemmas@bbc.co.uk. I have three Bishop of Llandaff plants that look no where near being ready to flower, does anyone know what I've done wrong or is it the weather? They've been grown from tubers in late spring by Veronica3

Aftercare of geums
'm hoping she'll set seeds. I have two un-named much smaller Geums with little orange flowers on that haven't done at all well this year though. Orange flowers, but not sure of variety. I have just spotted a GW blog which said to split them in spring by Penninepetal

them until spring. The reason I ask is because I have just put some winter pansies in baskets and the label  says to feed every week. The whole subject of feeding plants sometimes makes me confused. We are told that certain feeds promote good flowering by jean riley

Just broke my new plant
, but watch for the whole rotting off. Just checking in book & the normal way for propagating this plant is by division in Autumn/Spring, but I suppose you can treat it like a penstemon or Fuschia both of which I treat as I've described. J. Thank you Jo by FloBear

Newbie needing help
and I'm sure someone more expert will responds. I just thought you could plant some bulbs for the springs, and wait and see what turns up next year in the flower garden. I think the best thing you can do is read as much as time allows about veg growing by Darren1976

Brambles
way is to chop off the top growth and then dig out the roots, that's the only way you will get rid of them.  Come spring, when the dratted things start actively growing again, you can spray them with glyphosate, wait for them to die & dry out, and burn by Keith 2
