Heucheras
as the soil is permanently damp. They are woodland plants. Whatever the colour they always seem to be bright, probably because the crinkly leaves always reflect what light there is. | have these in my front garden border. They are really lovely, and they come by chainsawsal

honey fungus
What can I do about an area of garden that once had a tree infected by honey fungus?  The tree has long since been cut down, but nothing grows there.  Is the honey fungus still in the soil and what can I put there that will stand any chance by Christine Eyre

Talkback: Alpine strawberries
for my first harvest. But with my newly planted garden strawberries i pinched out the flowers last year and now they are full of flowers, should i do that with the wild ones aswell. Wild or woodland strawberries are the same as alpine strawberries by happymarion

Red Insects
, and occasionally from humans! The adults (eight legs) feed on vegetable matter and garden debris. Sometimes called harvest mites, they can attach to the skin of animals and bite them. They live in garden and woodland debris. Red spider mites are much more common by Mortane8222222222222222222222222222222222222222222

Problem with Bluebells
to dig them out, but at the moment I'm thinking that digging them up, or even worse weed killing them, is the only option. It's quite a small garden so all space is precious and I'd much rather have the plants I've put in over the years than four clumps by Leggi

Too many raspberries
We inherited raspberry canes in our overgrown garden. They are very tall and have gone bezerk. I plan to spray them, chop them down, and dig them out. We would like to keep some in this spot though. Would it be best to dig out some plants and keep by Blueboots
