    hello again,

    i will be buying a lot of plants for my new garden this weekend, some evergreen grasses, evergreen flowering perennials and stuff like lavender, margheritas etc etc
    I'd like to know if once planted, i have to water them everyday. Also every how long should a garden be watered in the summer? I will nt be cultivating any tender species.

    I'd also like to know what plant species is this:

    thanks

    Hi GL. When you first plant you should water in well. And possibly for a couple of weeks. Then I personally just water when they look like they need it. It depends on the temperature, the soil type and of course the plant. Once plants are established they need less water.

    Love your bush but don't know what it is. Looks like a honeysuckle relative.
