Hi
Have just stumbled on your great forum whilst searching the net frantically looking for gardening Info/help .
I have recently moved house (5 months ago) and we now have a fairly large established garden for the first time .
Only problem is I know nothing about gardening and it is growing at a rate that I am finding it dificult to control .
When I came home from work tonight I was shocked to find one of my favourite bushes has completly snapped off at the root and was lying on the lawn :confused: Is there anything that I can do to save this plant ???
Iam not aware of what type it is ,shall I post a pic ?
If someone can advise me on what to do I would be greatfull

Thanks

Stuart

 

to post a pic, upload your photo into photobucket, reduce the size by 50 % or more, then control c the bottom of the 3 descriptive lines under your pic, and control v back in this forum in the posting box at the bottom - then we can help. Have fun!

 

pop the roots in a bucket to allow plant to drink be4 re planting....... it sounds a bit odd, did you get a sudden windstorm?

 

Yes please post a pic. If the roots have remained in the ground, thats good! It could possibly have been something that needed pruning anyway,(but probably not so drastically !!!! So hang tight, post a pic, let us all have a look and try and find out what it was for you. Lucky you inheriting an established garden. One of the best tips I think I ever had was to sit back and wait for a year before you do any digging, and find out what comes up each season. Then make any changes you need to. Enjoy!!!!
