Charing Gardeners' Society - Advice: Pruning
http://charinggardeners.org.uk/pruning.shtml
Your garden is bountiful. It's overflowing with plants but if you're not careful they'll take over the house too! Most plants are pretty resiliant when it comes to pruning but there are a few simple rules to follow that will help you avoid disasters with favourite plants and keep them looking good.

Charing Gardeners' Society - Advice: Vegetables
http://charinggardeners.org.uk/vegetables.shtml
Here is where we will add advice on growing vegetables either to eat or for show. How to grow show-winning carrots.

Charing Gardening Society - Advice: Rainfall
http://charinggardeners.org.uk/weather.shtml
This is our section about the local weather and water records. Rainfall records have been kept for over 20 years on Charing Hill for the Environment Agency and Tylden Reed has given us access to his data. These charts are updated quarterly. Links to reports from the Environment Agency and a SE Water chart have also been added to the bottom of this page.
