Now my foxgloves are finished flowering, what is the best thing to do, cut the spikes or leave uncut? They appeared from nowhere last year and left loads of little plants and the small area was a picture this year. Would like a repeat next year - including the good weather!

If you want foxgloves all over the garden just leave the spikes to self-seed. Otherwise, cut them off asap.

If it was gin you were wrong to say yes though...

I usually uproot mine after a few have seeded - loads of young plants appear in different places and I just pull out those I don't want.
