I should jolly well think so!!!!
Chillies... never let your plant grow taller than about 18 inches and encourage side growth rahter than top growth when the first fruits appear otherwise you get lots of chillies of miniscule proportions instead of big fat juicy ones. |

"So its april...the raint month.
what can ya get going in the garden ?
rainy too 
Ohhhhhh bugger, forgot rubes bin   "
onion and garlic sets, sow leeks, experiment with pak choi into fine tilth, but grow some in trays just incase of frost. Preparation is the keyword for April its not too late to get some well rotted manure into the beds. Also start on the ginger beer by checking the shed roof can cope with a blast in the likely event of an explosion... |

Half hardy annuals are too delicate - best to leave them until end of April mid May. Don't forget to add some moisture retaining pellets to the compost as baskets have a habit of drying out in the hands of the pale green fingered..... water in the morning and early evening and if the sun has gone round the back, water during the day too.
Have you thought about hanging tomatoes between the blooms? You can snack as you water  |

Dear Fab Gardener's World,
I recently purchased some Senetti flowers from my local garden centre. They looked great when I got them home from the garden centre but have now gone rather limp.
In an effort to revive them I was thinking of crumbling some Viagra into 5 litres of water and then giving them a soak.
Will this revive my floppy blooms? |

Think organic rather than orgasmic in the gardening world Im not really a fan of chemicals. You might be better to stick to something more rigid in future - like strelitzia aka Bird of paradise. This will sit happily in a vase for a month before fading.
Hope this helps

Remove dying flowers, if it goes leggy cut it back.

I'm told the Poundshops have a good selection of seeds.
As with all of these things you'll get far more than most people can ever use so go through the pack and pick out the healthiest looking stuff.
If you're in Central Scotland the East Kilbride Seed Exchange is the place to go. They choose seeds designed to cope and prosper in the unpredictable Scottish climate and the 'exchange' bit it something of a misnomer. |

well if you get you pot herbs from asda and other supermarkets why not split them up in two other pots it works |

I wouldnt replant any supermarket herbs personally, as a packet of seeds will give you 50 times more plants than you could ever grow from one at half of the cost. A lot of people are scared of seeds but if you germinate indoors you can rarely fail. Overwatering is the biggest error. Use a mist spray to moisten soil until the seedlings are established. Also sow in stages so as not to have a glut too early in the season. |

"wish sooty would get his ass in gear and landscape our garden
as he does it for a living "
Hmmmm lethargy is the garden's mortal enemy - as is a woman on a mission. I would talk of tales of naked romping amongst the cabbage patch and frantic lovemaking in the lobelia to tempt him into action....

Excellent advice and 100% agree. We always germinate seeds indoors, usually in the airing cupboard for a couple of days, then window ledge until established. I always use John Innes #2 for germining and seeding, never let me down. This year's project is my lavender lawn. |

Id love to hear the progress of your lavender lawn. Keep in touch.
Growing courgettes outdoors. I find the fruits can rot if the grwing stem is in contact with the soil. So would recommend lifting it with a couple of pepples along the length. If you can grow it against a wall train it along a stiff mesh so the whole plant is suspended but be careful when picking. always surround by lots of grit and slug pellets. |
