    It is quite --but not very-- velvety.

    It could be a variety of sage... but then the scent of the leaves would be a dead give-away.

    Could it be Salvia Apiana (White Sage)?

    Planted rosemary in my garden 2 years ago and it seemed happy enough until about 3 weeks ago when it started to look burnt.

    Suspect it is because one of the cats have started peeing on it but don't know why they'd have started now.

    Don't know if you can see it in this pic.

    Does anyone have any other ideas? And if it is the cats how do I get them to stop?

    I doubt it is the cats. Is it in a pot? Its not a very good pic but it could have just dried out, its been generally dry for a couple of weeks. Or indeed it could have drowned in the time before that when there was a lot of rain. Rosemary can be a bit temperamental and just up and die sometimes.

    Weird. The reason I posted it here is that my original thought was that it's a foxglove, but gardeners I know all said nope (based on the high res pic) and some suggested sage.

    I'm confussed. But won't be eating it just in case!

    Looks like there's a flower forming at the top.. will post again if it blooms. Thanks!

    I'd think it is more like a Salvia than a foxglove, going by the white fluffy stem, not sure that its an edible herb though.

    Can anyone identify this? It started off in flower beds & covers them like a carpet

    Very out of focus, but if you're talking about the small roundy leaves, it could bevlesser celandine.

    No its a banana and thats what they often look like if they survive the winter.

    Repot if you can go about an inch larger pot and it will start producing new leaves fairly soon.

    Edit> Probably Muse Ensete "Maurelli" aka Red Abyssinian Banana aka Red Banana aka Ethiopian Banana. Thinking about it you can probably go a to a lot larger pot size and feed really well say weekly. Tomato fertiliser will probably do.

    Thank you. Its nothing a pot and new leaves started growing at the weekend :)

    Should I remove the dead ones?

    You don't have to remove the dead ones, I wouldn't remove too much if you do, just cut them off cleanly leaving a good bit of stalk and tidy up the stalk when it goes brown.

    Keep an eye out for frosts worst thing that could happen to it now is for the frost to catch the new growth. Even a light nylon sheet thrown over it could be enough protection at this time of year, just don't forget to take it off in the morning.

    New lawn put down last October, gave it 2 cuts in the last 2 weeks. Would Complete 4 in 1 Evergreen be good for the grass and weeds or should I leave it? Thanks

    What weeds do you have and how bad an infestation?
    Do you have moss and how bad?
    A few good pics can tell a lot.

    It's normally not recommended to use a weed and feed in the first year of a new lawn.
    Regular mowing will usually eradicate most broad leafed weeds that germinate along with the grass.

    Any ideas on this? It has popped up beside Anthymus that was planted last year. Not sure if more of the same or a weed.

    There's a bit of mare's tail but I managed to get rid of the JK. Had only a small bit at the gate, sprayed the bejaysus out of it for a couple of seasons and it seems to have done the trick. Fingers crossed.
