    I have a packet of Nemophila seeds, bought on a whim (isn't it amazing how big your garden is in your head? :snork:) - anyway, I have no idea where I am going to put them.

    At the end of my patio, there is a small wall that has a border in it, and just in front of the wall (patio side), there is a small strip of soil in the gap between the slabs and the wall. Last year, I grew wee flowers in there (can't remember the name, but they look a bit like alyssum), so I know that it can support some sort of life - thing is, I don't know how fussy the nemophila are about positioning and soil quality?

      I surely can't be the only one Fern - in my head, my garden must be huge, as I keep buying seeds and plants! I think its bigger in the winter time too, coz I seem to accrue a lot of stuff over the winter in readiness....... :dunno:

        In my garden they grow a bit like weeds, self seeding for the last couple of years. They are very tough little plants and don't seem to mind my poor soil so go for it fc :)

          Thanks again John :) - I found growing those other things last year that it really took the edge off the patio, so hopefully they will look just as good.
