    Help needed with Buxus Plants!

    I removed all my Box this year due to box moth caterpillar damage. Not worth battling with it. Other alternatives if you want evergreen topiary are Yew, Ilex crenata and Euonymus Green Spire.

    Spring Bulbs coming up early

    Don't believe it about the mice. We used to find just bundles of leaves where the mice had eaten the crocus corm underneath.

    Is it worth or even beneficial to tidy up the garden?

    Watch out for weeds. My weeds are growing fast and furious and it is still poring down and blowing strong but their numbers will be up one day soon.
