This is my first year of having a go at gardening. I haven't achieved anything especially exciting, but the garden of my rented house now has a collection of nice pots, some strawberry plants and raspberry canes and a lovely circular bed in the middle of the lawn where the landlord had a bonfire before we moved in. I've got a sweet pea trellis there, some more strawberry plants and a few others plants like lavender and peppermint. But I am going on holiday for two weeks in July and am now worried that everything will die if we have another dry summer. How do other people deal with this? I think I just have to not go on holiday in future!

I'm very new to keeping houseplants and my biggest struggle so far is understanding whether I'm giving too much water, not enough or just the right amount. I was just wondering if anyone can point me towards some good resources that will help me to understand a bit better? Anything from books to videos, but I'd be very grateful to hear what resources others have found useful. I currently spend far too long agonising over my peace lily and my monstera!

Hi all, hoping for some advice. My mum gave me a few strawberry plants about a month ago, which I planted out in a rectangular planter. They are doing well and look very happy. Over the bank holiday weekend she gave me a few more, which I brought home and planted out in the garden yesterday. They are in a bed which I dug over and added compost to a few weeks ago. They looked fine this morning, but when I checked them after work today, they look droopy and not very happy. I watered them thoroughly when I planted them out yesterday, and watered them again this morning. Do you think I over-watered them? Any advice on how to help them recover would be much appreciated!
