Hello James, Assuming the fungus has produced spores, very likely they have, your bagging will not kill them. They are well designed to survive the most extreme conditions. Perhaps the council have an incinerator?? Tony.

Hello Geoff, Yes there is a sell-off on the last day. Some of the exhibitors are happy to tag (cash with order) before the RHS allowed time to dismantle exhibits, I think about 4.00 pm? Something with wheels to ferry your plants, as the barrowing service by RHS volunteers is heavily used, to your car (close to £10 to park a car at show). Final note. Half a day for a first-timer is too little time, especially as you intend to buy too!! Enjoy the day, Tony.

Hello Fin, I have noticed this on similar plants, that is their flowers, all belonging to the Composteae (Daisy family), including marguerites. My conclusion was that the critters were nocturnal, which suggested to me earwigs most likely. Recalling a friends tactic to protect her Dahlias , why not try placing some canes amongst your plants, with an inverted pot on top, each pot having some straw / crumpled newspaper placed in them. Report back any critters found in them?? Good luck, Tony.

Hello Pauline, Assuming you mean our native gorse, Ulex europaeus , and that the plants are 3+ years old? It should be safe to cut them as hard back as you like (with long-handled / telescopic loppers!!) even to ground level. Here in Surrey established wild gorse regrows very quickly from their roots following heathland fires, you may see similar on Exmoor - not far from you? You may know there are other species of Ulex (another two are native) which may grow less vigorously. They are not very shade

Bonjour V, My suggestion is try to contact a commercial rose grower. There may be a preferable technique which avoids rubber banding? Also I recall a horticultural supplier who sells to the amateur, that may? have what you are looking for, LBS is part? of their name. Hope this helps, Tony.

Hello BG, We here in Surrey had -10C during January for 3 or 4 consequetive nights, I think this would be cold enough to kill tree ferns. However, contact "Fernatix" they are very helpful and KNOW their ferns, better than most! Tony.

Hello Fin, Check past exam papers, for RHS General (level 2). Look for Qualifications tab / link, at RHS web-site. I found reading over old exam papers, including examiners' reports very useful. Some colleges do "mock" exam. for the practical, again this I would recommend. If level 2 looks daunting, try City and Guilds Certificate in Gardening, five modules minimum to gain cert. Go for it, and good luck, Tony.
