What a great idea! Thank you. And erysimum isnt a bad idea, I have some in pots already from last autumn, but I can see if there are any supplies in the garden centre.

Thanks @Plantminded I’ve discovered a nest in there today so it’ll be a while now until I tackle it again

Achieving a natural feeling distribution can be a challenge.One experiment that can be interesting is to throw a handful of stones in different colours (to represent the different species) then use wherever they land as planting location guide...

Thanks for the info mate. Will try them.

Thank you! This is really useful, especially the illustrations

Polygonatum x hybridum. You could lift it in the autumn and find a permanent spot for it then. Or Dicentra.

Right. Thanks.

Get a new GP, obviously a dinosaur, I had one like that until he decided to retire at the very beginning of covid. Some of them are just idiots, some are good.

Your system is most likely W11 compatible, but there are other factors, so you must run that W11 checker tool to ensure evrything else is correct.

Right. Thank you very much.

I like Cosmos (mostly as easy to grow) and the dwarf sunflowers (there’s oranges and reds too). I often aim to do some for picking, but I never do enough and end up leaving them in garden as they so lovely.Have a look on Sarah Raven site as she recommends lovely flowers for cutting.

I don't think all frits do. I have a pot of f. Uva-vulpis and there's no pong. Whereas the imperial one nearby is definitely smelly

Thanks everyone for the replies!

Perhaps best for the birds They are always hungry. This year they ate all our pyrocantha in december already.

Yes, I have loads of suitable nesting stuff on the ground that they completely ignore.

I have never been to Wagamama's - none round here! If there is one country that seems to have got it right, it's Finland.

I’d go for Karl Foerster in that location @CostasK, the vertical habit would be ideal .

Right. Thank you.

£3.39 for a 30 ltr bag puts it more expensive than a lot of potting compost plus £8 delivery. I dont think they want small orders, so why put it into such small bags?
