Agapanthus tips Steve and Elaine Hickman, holders of a National Collection of Agapanthus, have given us their top tips for keeping agapanthus happy in pots. If you’re buying smaller plants, place several together in a pot as this restriction of the roots initiates flower buds. Put two or three 9cm plants in a 30cm/10 litre pot. They should be happy for two years. Then repot into a container just 5-7cm bigger than the previous pot. Ensure there is good drainage, with a mix of 2 parts compost to 1 part sand, gravel or grit.

If there's one flower that's fallen foul of fashion in recent times, it's the once-popular chrysanthemum. Monty Don thinks that they're well worth revisiting and shows us how to get them off to a flying start. And if you're thinking of giving your garden a bit of a spring revamp, Joe Swift has some helpful suggestions to get things going. Moved here : https://video-clump.com/2017/11/26/gardeners-world-episode-3-2015/ Gardening how to's : 1.Prune shrub roses Now that the weather is beginning to warm up, this is your last chance to prune your shrub roses.

The biggest mistake with shrub roses is to overprune. 2. Lift & divide snowdrops As the flowers start to fade, it’s a good time to lift and divide snowdrops. With a trowel or spade, gently lift a clump of bulbs and carefully divide into smaller clumps and s...

With her help over the coming year, they're hoping to create the garden of their dreams. Gardening and Horticulture 02-2015 1. Sow broad beans If you’re daunted by the prospect of sowing veg, then start with broad beans. They are easy to grow and taste really delicious when picked small and cooked shortly after. To start, choose a well-drained site. Then dig the ground over, adding some garden compost or well-rotted manure.  Sow seeds 5-8cms (2-3in) deep and 10-16cms (4-6in) apart.  In open ground, sow in double rows 23cms (9in) apart leaving 60cms (2ft) between each double row. This will give you...
