Every week my Inbox fills with gardening-related, and some non-related, questions. Readers are often looking for some tips and hints to solve some of their garden problems or troubleshoot issues with their plants.

In the past, I've usually taken the time to research their queries or pass on some of my limited knowledge. Then it occurred to me that most people who read my blog would probably be able to give even better answers than I can conjure up.

So, each Friday, I plan to 'open the floor' and put out the best questions for you, the reader, to pass on your valuable knowledge. Over time, I shall devise some way of honouring the best answerers but in the meantime you can be satisfied with having your name in front of a few thousand people each day.

Here we go;

Karen asks,

My large fuschia plant has been producing some seed pods. Is it possible to plant these and produce more fuschias? If so how do I go about it?

M. asks,

My friend has a beautiful Lavender Crape Myrtle that is blooming now. She has noticed that the bark has been pealing off up to the lowest branch and even out onto the branch. Is this supposed to happen?

And Jennifer asks,

Hi! I have a staghorn fern that's about 35 years old (inherited it from my greandmother). It's been in the same spot for the last 15 years and has been very happy until the last 6 or 7 months-the fronds have started dying and falling off all over the plant and the top of it no longer has any fronds at all. There's no fungi or any other strange looking thing growing on the fronds. What's happening to my pride and joy? What can I do about it?

Any answers to these gardener's queries?
