Gertrude Jekyll putting on a beautiful second show this year. The photo doesn't do it justice.

We usually get a couple of blooms this time of year but its gone crazy and smells fantastic.

such nice contrast one of my faves for sure

All the rest are white except this one with a bit of pink, the bee is loving it

Hi All,
I planted this rose in January as a bare root. I thought it usually flowers in May/June as most old fashioned French roses do. However, I found these blooms yesterday. I wonder if it is because it was so hot that it has become confused, particularly since it has been so mild recently. Have any of you found plants in your gardens blooming out of season?
Good gardening to you all.

Just in the process of planting out a new top bed. Borrowing some inspiration from Tom Stuart Smiths garden at this years RHS badminton. Structure will be Yew balls then will drift perennials and stipa inbetween. I’ve purchased a number of Allium Sphaerocephalon and tulip bulbs but final layout with the perennial planting not likely to happen now until spring (stuck a few in to see if works).

So how do garden designers get around this issue? If dig them in now I’m guessing I’ll be digging them back up when planting. Do you take that chance or grow on in pots and plant out come spring?

I've been using my new brush cutter on brambles at the back of garden. Once I've cleared them and I looking to go low and chop them up into pieces what is best way to deal with it? Leave them on the ground, bag up and throw away (will be a considerable job) get shredder? Iam looking to create a semi wild environment wifh some planters and maybe grew house wirh wood chip etc. It's quite a large area 14m x 15m etc

Has anyone got experience with pyracantha? These have been in for around 10 years and have been great until now. Last Autumn a tiny patch died off after pruning. I cut further back into the shrub and it recovered fully. This year I’ve kept on top of pruning more regularly, so haven’t needed to cut back too hard this Autumn. The diseased area has come back and looks like this after two weeks. The leaves are now dropping but all the stems are green when I scrape back the bark so there’s no dead branches to cut back to. Will it recover or should I cut my losses and replace with something else?

This is my first year growing tulips. I admit I’ve gone a bit mad and bought roughly 150 bulbs. Has anyone else bought a large amount of tulips

Went to the bottom of my garden today to find this damage to the lawn. The damage is scattered dug up holes and a strip dug up. The depth is around 10-20cm and the forth photo shows potentially the droppings of whoever caused the damage! My initial thought is a badger but any help would be really appreciated. Thanks.

This only got planted last week. It arrives pretty beaten up and I cut the two bottom leaves off as they did not look like they would perk up. My dad has used some zip ties around other two leaves but that seemed to have made it worse- the two tied leaves snapped too exactly at the point where they were tied. Another leaf snapped this morning. Only two leaves left. The plant has been watered well when planted and it has rained since. It’s in a relatively sheltered spot from wind. Any ideas what I’ve done wrong?

Any advice welcome!

Hi! I'd love some suggestions for large, colourful and/or evergreen plants, suitable for pots on a decking that gets pretty much full sun in summer please 🙏

My decking is HUGE, old and ugly. I wish I could get rid but the ground underneath seems to be smashed up concrete...

TL;DR - what chemicals do I need to kill these and how do I apply them?

I moved into a house earlier this year that has these Sumac (I think) trees in the front garden next to the drive, they look perfectly nice and I would be happy to leave them but they keep sending out rhizomes all over the front garden and keep popping up all over the place and specifically where I am going to extend the drive.

My original plan was to keep the established trees and get a big fork and when I see a little one pop up where I didn't want it I'd go in and rip out all the roots connected to that sucker(?) and eventually I'd keep it contained. I've been doing that most weeks for the past few months and it hasn't really been working so I'm resorting to chemical warfare to completely remove all of it and replace it with something easier to manage.

What chemical do I need to apply to kill it including the roots? I've read about Epsom salts, is that literally the big bag you can get on Amazon, cut the stem and put some in?

Hi all *wave*

Just a quick intro. These are my potted nerines being magnificent one morning this week, it's a superbloom moment for them, normally I have just a few flower spikes. They're underplanted with erigeron and linaria purpurea.

I've moved to my first owned property and forever home a few months ago. As as renter I had an extensive potted garden which was very challenged during this summer's heatwave and hosepipe ban, and I lost most of my nursery.

The nerine lilies were a lovely and welcome surprise after all that heartache. To see something thrive is so encouraging. I also didn't have to do anything special, just keep them alive and make sure they get a lot of sun, their prime requirement. The showing off is almost entirely their work!

I look forward to learning and sharing alongisde you all!

Hello, I've got an acer pushing against a garden wall of a house I moved into around 12 months ago. There's been no obvious movement in the wall over the past year, but I feel like I need to sort the wall out and I'd like to either put a higher fence on top of the wall or plant some hedges for privacy.

The tree is around 25 years old at a guess. I've been told that it can't be moved and I'm wondering whether it's viable to keep it in place (and pruned) or whether I will need to cut it down prior to fixing the wall.

I'd also appreciate suggestions of other things I can plant to provide screening if the tree has to go. Any other thoughts welcome.

Everything identical apart from the pots. Does one pot being glazed account for it?

I recently took on a new plot and in one corner a former tenant has planted a tree. It’s quite small right now and rather pretty but, I don’t know what species it is so, I’m worried that over time it will get too big and shade everything else out. I love trees and generally wouldn’t advocate removing one but the plot isn’t very big and I’d like it to be productive. Open to any ideas. Thanks!

Inexperienced gardener here. I have a wide bed that was over planted by the previous home owner and then neglected. It has been overwhelmed by a giant ornamental grass that I'm allergic to and am desperate to remove so the remaining plants (winter jasmine, quince, honeysuckle) can thrive. Unfortunately the bed is also home to toads. What's the best approach to take that won't harm them? I'm happy to leave the job until a different time of year but it needs doing. I will be leaving some ground cover but removing the grass will involve a lot of digging.

Picked the last few chillies.

Plants are now prepped and ready for overwintering.

Any ideas what I should plant in this shady patch behind my flat?

Context: just moved into this flat in London, landlord cleared all the weeds from the back garden plot as they were overgrown. Patch is at a bit of a slope and gets very little sunshine. I’m new to gardening looking for advice! Not looking to spend too much, ideally low maintenance plants.
