    lovely to see all the fellow gardeners , I moved to my new place adapted bungalow Feb’24 .So am having to start all over again - hard work that I’m no longer able to do but my old fella still does the bulk of the work even though he is slowing down a bit ( don’t tell him I said that 😁)

    all it’s wonderful to see your gardens. I must admit I do try to keep the garden nice. I love all flowers but especially roses, Lupins and rhododendrons. I don’t seem to have much luck with hydrangeas for some reason. We are right at the top of Scotland so it’s difficult with some plants. My husband used to help with the garden but due to his Parkinson’s he’s not longer able to. So I’ve noticed some of the plants are slightly overgrown. So in autumn this year I need to prune a few. We have a weigela plant that needs a good trim. If anyone could offer advice on the best way to do this it really would be appreciated. Oh and an elder blossom that’s huge so again any tips would be wonderful please.

    It's been lovely seeing some of the plants and garden's. Thanks for the tip on the rhododendron. I'd just planted 2 in the garden, I will now take them up and put them in pots. Anyone any ideas about how to stop bamboo spreading, mine is causing a nuisance, thanks 😊

    Keep it in pots only as the roots go down and creep in the ground it is one plant that takes a lot to control or get rid of chop a root and leave in the ground and it will grow

    Best pruned just after its finished flowering cut out the oldest stems at ground level will encourage new growth and shorten the ones you want to keep by about a half

    Sooo my lovely gardening people, can anyone help or advise with my garden??

    It's more weed than grass. I used a weed puller yesterday and got up over 40 before giving up, as I wasn't even half done. 😕

    Is there anything I can use to prevent or slow them down? And not hurt the grass??
