Plant this If you love clematis but don’t have room for one that sprawls everywhere, Clematis ‘Angelique’ at 1.2m tall is perfect: it’s dinky enough for a container. Its lilac flowers arrive in late spring and early summer, and it needs only a trim in early spring.
Weed this If forget-me-nots are taking over, pull them before they set seed: they should come out of the ground easily after rain. Tackle weeds between paving stones with a long-handled paving brush, and winkle out deep tap roots of perennials such as dock and dandelion with a long bladed weeding tool.
See this London could be getting its own version of New York’s much-admired High Line if crowdfunders have their way – the Camden High Line would transform the disused railway line between Camden and Kings Cross, linking them via a 10-minute walk. Walking tours of the route take place during the week of 21 May. Visit camdenhighline.com for details.
