I have had this planted in my front garden for over two years (prev in a large pot) and its about 5 foot high with 4 upright branches. I have notived that some of the leaf sections at the top of the branches have become soggy and rotten. Two of the heads have dropped off all together and the "wood" part of the branch is spongy. Is it on its way out? only bought 4.5 years ago!. My neighbours have these which seem to be thriving and are much fuller and taller. Thanks

I have grown some wallflowers from seed this year. Intended to plant them out in the autumn for spring flowers, however they are now developing flowers. Should I remove the flowers and plant them out as planned or have I misunderstood the bi-annual flowering cycle? Help would be appreciated TW

Thanks for so many prompt replies which we will act on - most likely not to buy topsoil now. Thanks everyone.

With two horses & using wood shavings instead of straw in their stables I have large amounts of soiled (dung and urine)shavings to dispose of. Can it be used as a mulch, straight from the stables? How long should it be left as a 'muck heap' before I could safely use it as a compost? Any other uses?
