    Perovskia - how much would you cut down?

    I have pruned it down to the first leaves but my feeling tells me that it should be half the height. What do you think?Many thanks in advance.

    The disease list is a bit terrifying when you see it all written out like that. In practice though I've never had anything worse than a bit of blight and the odd slug hole, and that's replanting my own seed potatoes for a few years running now. Probably tempting fate saying that.

    Rat problem

    Think one of the biggest draws to rats is BBQs, especially 'chilled out' neighbours, not tiding up, or leaving the tidying until morning after a jolly good BBQ.
