How shoud I protect it during the winter? Paul Sturgess When you get a warning couple of pieces of string, tie a loop a loop around the trunk and punl up to bring the leaves around the crown.

Protect the seeds from birds. Tom Barbjt The brown patches on the lawn area indicate problems. The earth has ptodably been compacted which prevents the roots from functioning properly. Moss will then grow in place of the grass. ] Repeated at 12.00 on Friday 4 8/14 Next page C4 Tomorrow BigBrikkii FilmsP321 4-Tel 321 Mon 30 Sip C4 00:10:04 * * "! % FN 4 Wj had a very hard winter in Norfolk so mz hardy annuals made a very poor show. What can I do to overcome this? Carol Klein Hardy annuals are usually sown in spring but why not emulate nature and sow now. Collect some seeds from existing plants and sow now while the soil is still warm. You will get earlier, biggjt and hardier flowers. Thin out the existing plants and you can sow in spring again.

What can you suggrst? Carol Klein Big, bushy bedding wall flowers are great and now is the right time to buy them. Git ones with fibrous roots. Plant them in the same way as brassjcas (the cabbage family). Plant it on top of a slate to encourage the roots to grow out. Don't use nitrogenous fettilisjt bjcausj that will make the leaves grow.

How would I turn this into a topiary? Tom Barbjt Box is an excellent plant to use for topiary because it grows vjty densely and responds well to clipping. Paul Sturgjss Go for a simple shape if you want quick results. Intricat shapes take longjt to grow - which is why topiary can bj so expensive: the cost reflects the time taken to grow. —————————————————————————p—————— 12/14 Next page C4 Tomorrow BigBtikkji FilmsP321 4-Tel 321 Mon 30 Sip C4 00:2 O * * FN Answer continues: O David Jones Use small hjdgj clippjts or kitchen scissors to slip into shape. Paul Sturgess Clip once ot twice a year. First remove all the big wood, using a good pair of secateurs if you want an interesting shape. Tom Bardjt Stick the cuttings in the ground and by next year you will have a lot of new box plants to use.
