    Carolyn - i had the same trouble some years ago. People used to burn the middle of the plant but it still regenerates so I got rid of mine by cutting it down hard and putting glyphosate solution on the new shoots, then digging it out piece by piece. It was hard. I love alliums, and have many. One of the easiest and fragrant and flowering now is Allium Neapolitanum. Allium triquetrum has naturalised and not to be recommended unless you have acres of room away from common ground. Leaving leeks to seed gives you glorious big blue heads and free leeks the following year. The yellow alliums are favourites of mine as well and all alliums keep aphids away from rose bushes.

    Help & advice please....4 years ago I planted 2 lilac bushes in different parts of my garden, for 2 years I had a lovely display from both and they appeared to be flourishing, but last year on both bushes part did'nt produce foliage, during the late Autumn I trim back the "dead" section, this year both appear to have died. Both, although a good distance away from, but are situated directly underneath the canopy of huge Yew trees, could these have contributed to my poor lilacs demise.

    Can anyone help?
    I have a very large flowering cherry tree in our garden (moved in three years ago) and it has blossomed fantastically. However, it was in bud and just about to go when the whole thing came to a full stop. The buds didn't open and there are no leaves. It happened in a couple of days, but we didn't have any freak weather. Anyone any ideas?

    Just as we're being encouraged by the Dig In campaign to grow our own veg, Sky decide to take off the UKTV garden channel and dilute it into the new channel 'Really'. Apart from being the most inappropriate name, it's bad timing makes you wonder whether those who make these decisions actually want to see it fail. We used to love Saturday mornings watching UKTV gardens and planning the rest of our weekend, having been inspired by them. Well done Sky (not)....
