This year there is a new planting plan for the raised beds bordering the patio. This will be the first year I have not planted tulips here instead there are Wallflowers Persian Carpet, Digitalis Suttons Apricot and Forget-me-nots’. These have all been grown from seed a considerable saving on plants along with not buying tulip bulbs.


I have saved tulip bulbs from last year, these will all be planted in pots, then if they do not perform well they can be moved out of sight.
The tulip bulbs have spent the summer in the greenhouse they are now clean and ready for the planting.

The Foxglove, Digitalis ‘Pam’s Choice’ has been grown for the main border.
What have you planted for spring colour?
A lovely thing about gardening is being creative on how different areas are used from time to time. I look forward to seeing this spot again next year.

We are looking forward to some more spring colour in pots. I have even allowed Kourosh to have some tulips. We are having Alliums in pots and in the garden. We have been seduced by Farmer Gracy’s offer of reductions and free postage. I am sure we will not regret it in the spring :). Amelia

I am sure you won’t, Alliums are a great addition to the garden and much loved by pollinators.
