    A good reliable garden pea variety

    Kelvedon Wonder does well for me as does Early Onward. Alderman is a tall growing good cropping old fashioned variety with long pods and a good flavour.

    Senetti info please!

    It died back over the winter months so frost wasn't really a problem Froot. However, the islands winter temperatures rarely drop into minus figures. :)

    which climber

    I would plumb for jasmine. But the climbing roses from David Austin are very scented, and beautiful to boot.

    Advice for patio plant please

    Russian vine is also known as 'mile-a-minute' Lucius. It is rampant and will take over the garden in a very short time, it will also need cutting back once a week when it's established.

    borders with bulbs

    I usually get two years from Tulips planted in deep pots but not as much luck in a border even when just as deep. Don't know why!
