Plant magnolias in a sunny or semi shaded position with protection from cold winds & hard spring frosts. Magnolias prefer a rich moist well drained acid to neutral soil. Incorporate plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost to improve the soil prior to planting mixing it thoroughly & deeply. Magnolia plants establish quicker when their roots are shaded. Following planting apply a mulch of rotted bark chips manure or garden compost taking care not to mound it around the stem of the plant.
Water regularly throughout the growing season until young magnolias are fully established. In spring apply a mulch of well rotted bark chips or garden compost to the base of the plant. Magnolias require little pruning other than to maintain their shape & remove damaged stems or crossing stems.

Pot up penstemon plants & grow them on in frost free conditions until plants are well grown. Pinch out the growing tips while plants are still small to encourage bushier growth. When plants are well developed acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7 to 10 days before planting them outdoors into borders & patio containers. Grow penstemon in a sunny or semi shaded position on fertile well drained soil. Penstemons can tolerate dry soils once established but dislike heavy soils that are particularly cold & wet in winter. Improve heavy soils by adding plenty of coarse grit prior to planting.
Feed & water penstemons regularly until they are fully established. Once established they are reasonably tolerant of drought & will require little maintenance. Deadhead faded penstemon flowers to maintain the plant

Grow raspberry plants in a sunny position in any well drained soil. Prior to planting incorporate plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost into the soil. The stems of summer fruiting raspberries will require support. Before planting prepare a framework of wires stretched horizontally between two sturdy 1.8m posts. Autumn fruiting varieties will not require supports. Plant raspberry canes in a row against the wire supports allowing a distance of 60cm between plants. Water well. Canes should be pruned to 15cm above ground level immediately after planting to encourage more shoots to be produced.
Water well for the first year until plants are fully established. Loosely tie the stems of summer fruiting raspberries in to their support wires as they grow. When berries begin to develop place a net over the plants to protect the crop from birds. Apply a mulch of well rotted manure or garden compost to the base of the canes in spring. This will help to retain moisture throughout the summer.
Summer fruiting: In autumn prune the canes which have fruited over summer to ground level. Canes which have not fruited should be
