Question from

Something has been chewing the leaves down to the stems, removing all the leaves rather than leaving bites. There are no trails (slug/snails), organic slug pellets have made no difference and they do not seem diseased. Is it possible deer have been munching?

I planted some Campanulas this summer and was really disappointed to find after a few weeks of hot weather they all shrivelled up. However there are still a few little flowers left, right at the bottom of the plants.Can any advise me on what to do next please as am new to gardening and have read I should cut them back? If so, by how much?
