I think one of the problems we get a lot of queries about is 'damping off' of seedlings.
Another problems raised a lot here is the problem of 'growing on space' when seedlings have germinated over heat, and then been pricked out and potted on a few times ... by that stage they are taking up a lot of space ... if the spring is kind and planning has been good they can be planted out before they've outgrown the space available ... however last spring there were some very late frosts and some gardeners were caught out with nowhere for their tender plants ........ the small plastic 'greenhouses' are not suitable for tender plants if the frosts are sharp as they can't be heated ... coming up with some sort of temporary greenhouse which can be heated and which can be put away once the spring frosts are overwould be a good challenge?
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
I know what you mean @Topbird. Maybe I just see too much spam and 'general nonsense' threads on the forum these days
I'm inclined to agree with @BenCotto re the grammatical errors though. I find it quite astonishing if that's the standard of English students have nowadays, although my nephew is a lecturer, and is often horrified by the poor standard of grammar and punctuation he sees.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

No good throwing your snails next door @BenCotto -
Ha! I’ve thought of that. There is now a 6’ high stone wall between us so, by the time they get back home, they’ll be exhausted and the delphiniums will be 2’ tall and mollusc resistant.
Unfortunately fresh snails come in from the western flank.
We are UCL students and we are trying to learn a bit more about what kind of problems do people have with their plants health and how they take care of them. It would be great if you could write down the problems you have and how you are trying to solve them. Feel free to describe any type of issue, this will help us gather market insights. Thank you all!
Pretty sure this is a trolling post. As far as I'm aware UCL does not offer horticultural training. It's entry requirements are among the highest in the country and I'm pretty sure their students have a better command of English grammar than is evident in this post.
Based in Sussex, I garden to encourage as many birds to my garden as possible.
