1) Enter your email into the box. I don't use your email other than to send you updates and answers so if I can't contact you to give you an answer, I don't answer the question.
2) Give us more information than you think we need. "Why did my plant die?" isn't enough info for us. You have to tell us the where, how, what, when of it all. What were you doing or not so we can help you.
3) Check the search box above -if it's been answered before, I won't answer it now Hey - if you don't want to spend time reading the articles and answers we've already done - why would I ask my other readers to repeat themselves.
4) If at all possible, add a picture Questions with relevant pictures stand a better chance of being answered.

Got a Perennial Propagation Question?
If you have a question feel free to ask it using this form.
Questions without email addresses (you enter that on next page) will not be answered. I don't use them in any other way but if I can't be sure you'll read the answer...
Please understand that I do not answer the same question over and over. So if a question looks like it could be similar to yours - it probably is.
Have patience - there's one of me and lots of you and I simply can't get to all the questions. If it's an emergency, contact your nearest garden center.
If you have a pic, add it!
