    I think this is quite normal as they will be busy making a good root system, now that they have their first true leaves and are thus able to photosynthesise. Patience is the one virtue that all successful gardeners have and you will be rewarded. Beware. Slugs love Lupins. Good luck with them.

    Pruning Cotinus (smoke bush)

    I managed to do it once by pulling up low branches which had grown along the ground and started rooting and potting them up.

    Carnivorous Plants

    Thanks for the input. I purchased a pack of mixed seeds and will have to identify each different plant that grows.

    Planting next to a Fence

    I agree with JWK, move the fence onto the boundary line given that you know where it is. It'll save hassle in the long run even if it costs you now. Of course you'll have to tell your neighbour...
    I agree with JWK, move the fence onto the boundary line given that you know where it is. It'll save hassle in the long run even if it costs you now. Of course you'll have to tell your neighbour to move his shrubs, but he shouldn't have planted them so close in the first place.

    Overgrown Buddleia

    They are tough as old boots so don't be afraid that you'll kill it with a trim. The mature wood has a hollow stem and eight inch sections in a bundle make nice insect 'hotels'.

    Lots of assistance needed - south facing, terraced garden

    I think your thread is being overlooked here in this forum Russ. I'll see if it can be moved to a better place for you by @Zigs or @ARMANDII, if they would be so kind. :)
