The result will look beautifully neat and trained, and they – along with the autumnfruiting varieties – then need no more attention other than a generous mulch of garden compost in the spring. I tie the canes to the wires with twine, making sure they’re really secure because winter winds can catch and damage them. A wall, a fence with wires or a trellis will do, although I think a freestanding line of at least two wires held up by strong posts is better as it enables you to pick on both sides and keeps the fruit well ventilated. Then reduce the canes from each plant to a maximum of five strong, straight growths, cutting any others to ground level.įinally, the canes that remain need holding secure for the coming year, so summer raspberries are best grown against a permanent system of support. First, the brown canes that bore that summer’s fruit can be cut down to the ground, leaving the fresh new green canes standing (and it is good to do this as soon as fruiting has ended so the fresh green canes do not start to become brown and hard to distinguish from the old ones). Summer-fruiting varieties produce their fruit on the previous season’s canes, so pruning involves removing all the growth that has borne fruit and leaving behind a selection of new shoots ready for next year’s harvest. They like plenty of moisture and are happy in light shade as well as being very hardy. So a ‘sandy loam’ is good topsoil with a sandy, free-draining habit rather than just another word for very sandy soil.) (Loam, by the way, simply means a good, rich soil. Raspberries will grow in most soils but are happiest in a slightly acidic, sandy loam.

Camellias don’t need pruning, but if it’s necessary, after flowering is the right time. I cut it back after the flowers died back – was it the wrong time?Ī Watering weekly in September and October will help with flowering. Q I have a big camellia that hasn’t flowered well this year.
If yours has it, dig it out and then start again in a new spot. The plants will do badly if dry and are prone to verticillium wilt, a fungal disease. Why are the leaves now green and the flowers sparse?Ī You must prune it hard in spring to get dark colour on the foliage – but if you do this it’s unlikely to flower. Q My Sambucus nigra ‘Black Beauty’ had big dark leaves and clusters of flowers. So the best way to introduce ladybirds into your garden is to have a good supply of aphids for them to eat. Their preferred foods are aphids and scale insects, and some species eat mildews. Is there anything that I could plant to guarantee ladybirds visiting?Ī Ladybirds are beetles and almost none live on plants.
Q I see loads of flies, bees, wasps and butterflies in my garden but it is years since I’ve seen a ladybird.
