Can anybody tell us what these flowers are
that brought me the seed. I'm an Erigeron fan as well. In my neck of the woods, they're called 'Dartmoor Daisies' even though I'm pretty sure they're from Mexico originally. I tend to cut mine back in the spring to keep them a bit more compact. Sometimes by Johnboy2

Green Pond
in there in spring, taking it out in the autumn. However for small ponds, you can buy liquid barley straw extract from garden centres, which does the same thing. It's good to remove dying lily pads, but living ones can help promote the shady conditions that you need by Oz

Dispute
these years later, I still spend a huge amount of time each spring and summer trying to remove this dogged little thug from every conceivable nook, cranny and crevice. Wild violets - don't do it!!  I'll just add that my comments above equally apply to any by Percy-Grower

Need Advice On Moving A Hedge
it, will I be able to keep the height? (2) After being there for 10 years, 11 this Spring, is it even a good idea to try moving it? (3) What's the best time to do this? I'm assuming not right now? I was told on another forum I'd have to leave by Phil83

Snails
(Uggghh).  Copper tape on pots really does help, I nearly gave up my hosta collection a few years ago until discovering that, plus taking out the top inch or so of compost every Spring (that's where the eggs are if there are any).   I have not found by nodlisab

Planting out
try, you will damage the roots and stress the plants enormously in this heat. As already said, they're best moved in spring or autumn when it's mild and damp. Alina is right but sometimes needs must.  Unfortunately I'm having to clear out a whole by pash2

Lily beetle
not produced many flowers this year. I dead head them when they have finished flowering and feed regularly, any tips to encourage them to flower next year.  I also re-pot them in new compost in the spring. Are they just coming to the end of their flowering life by SilverFairy

Quince
because I was looking forward to my wife's quence jam. Last year was fantastic for most fruit. We had masses of blossom, a few fine days, and that must have done the trick. But, as has been said, a wonky Spring in 2012 has almost certainly ruined by Ahmadmirza
