Hi Guys,

I was living in flats before so I did not get a chance to do any
gardening. Now I have got a small garden, but I dunno anything
about
the gardening at all. Basically the garden already has got some
rose
plants and few other plants which i have not got a clue what
they are -
they may be even some weeds (pardon me I am not good at
English
either)


About the Rose plants -

I have got two tall grown rose plants one of the two plants got
flowers and florishing, the other one has got lots of buds than
the
other, but these buds are falling down and some kind of granules
falling down from the rose tree and it looks like sicky. I
really do
not know how to explain the desease.

please some one help me what I suppose to do for that tree,
I really want that tree go back to normal


I also want to grow some tomatoes , chillies and beans etc in my
little
garden - Is it nice season to put the seeds? How can I carefully
maintain them? please advice this little dummy
I can really recommend some books you can buy new from B&Q or
occasionally
from carboot sales. They are the 'expert' series. I recently
bought 'the
vegetable expert' and 'the garden expert' but you can get
houseplant one
and
rose one and tree and shrub one. They cover everything from
species
identification, to pest and pest control etc.
I did a quick look on ebay and they have several on there. Here

Yes; re, the *Expert" series of slim books,- they are well-known
and
highly regarded: I have fogotten the well-known Author but they look
like
the usual magazines which bedeck Newsagent's shelves.
I have gleaned plenty of good sensible and workable knowledge from
them, and
can recommend them.

The books were written by Dr. Hessayon. They are all excellent value.
