but thought id share my thoughts :)
i grew some things last year, hubby does the veg and im in charge of making things prettyful
i thought id make my life easy last year by buying mixes. it did make things easier but made it more problematic later when i couldnt easily identify the plants i thought were nice so i could save seed and grow them this year. also sowing a mix direct also made it tricky to know what was weed and what was what i indended to grow there! sorry probably well known to other people but not me
this year i spent a while in febuary i think it was measuring and drawing scale(ish) diagrams of the garden to work out what flowers are going where. I'll try and make a list of what im growing / intending to grow in case anyones interested, i'll probably miss some off tho
sorry i dont know the exact names of some of them but have the seed packets so can give more info if anyone needs or wants it :
borage
corncockle
phacelia
night scented stock
black pansies
blue violas
poached egg plants
poppies
phlox - 2 diff colours
nemophilia
alstromeria
freesia
lilies
alyssum - white and mixed colour
various mixed perennials, summer long mix and scented flowers (sowed in modules and seed trays so when i plant out at least i know theyre not weeds
)
I've probably forgotten some, got a better camera now so going to try and take some pics of work in progress and see how it goes. impatient to see results now and looking forward to having a prettyful garden ( i hope!)
