    hi folks, I have rows of giant Daisys lining my drive (Margherita Gigante I think)
    After they bloomed last year I cut them back a bit to about a football size ball. I'm just wondering is there anything I should be doing at the moment with them to prepare them for the coming year?

    Cheers

    Paul...
