He's back by popular demand! Following the highly popular Q&A he took part in this summer, Phil McCann from The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) has returned to answer your autumnal gardening questions.

The RHS is the UK's leading gardening charity. It helps to bring gardening into people's lives and support gardeners of all levels and abilities. Phil McCann, PR Manager for RHS Gardens, with support from gardeners at the four RHS Gardens, will be answering questions from Mumsnetters throughout this week. And he's here on the Food talk boards to celebrate the harvest, following what can only be described as a 'bumper year for courgettes'! Whatever your query - from container growing spuds to protecting your peaches over winter - Phil and the RHS team are on hand to give you advice and information.

The final day for questions is Friday 22 October and to celebrate his return to the talk boards, the RHS is offering Mumsnetters an exclusive RHS membership offer. When you sign up for RHS Joint Membership by Direct Debit, you will receive a free Crabtree & Evelyn Gift Set for gardeners. Visit www.rhs.org.uk/mumsnet or email [email protected] with 'Mumsnet' in the subject line.

Phil, who was previously Assistant Producer on BBC's Gardeners' World, is a trained horticulturist and garden writer. He will be checking this thread each day and answering your questions as and when they come in.

Hello. Roses - when should I prune them and how much? I have 2 in my front garden, proper roses - and they have done v well this year but are getting tall (ie 1.5m tall( but I'd rather they were shorter with same amount of flowers). Any tips - feel such a fool as feel I should know but I just don't - always play it by ear but would like to know properly what to do! Thanks. Ann

That's it folks. Thanks so much for Phil for joining us again and answering all our questions. We'll be archiving the Q and A and will link to the transcription from this page. Fingers crossed we'll persuade Phil to join us again in the Spring.
