Hi Bushbaby.... nice to see you around.
I am not planting any extra spring flowers this year because I am always gone when they are in bloom. There are plenty daffodils and other bulbs coming through and that will have to do. I will plant summer flowers once I'm back from Scotland in June. Don't know what yet.

It makes sense to not go to town if you won't be there to enjoy the fruits of your labour.
I am unsure what to plant this year. I actually settled on a colour scheme for the front garden and now just have to find the right flowers to achieve the effect I have in mind.
The backyard is mostly given over to herbs (on the porch) and some veggies and fruit in the garden proper. There isn't enough room to fit both flowers and a dedicated veggie garden in the backyard.

What will your colour scheme be? I've never had a herb garden, and always tell myself I want to start one. Maybe one day..... if I stay put long enough at one place

I'm not planting anything as such in my garden as they always say you shouldn't plant iin the first year of moving into a new house, and see what comes up first.
I have decided that I will plant cherry tomatoes though in containers and perhaps some peas and beans... it all depends on the amount of sun we get in our back garden.
It is good to see we have snowdrops though
Spring Flowers - Pampered - 27-01-2005
The garden in our new house is in pretty bad shape. So I have bought some daffodils and tulips for spring flowering. For Summer flowering I have bough a box of mixed bulbs, with things like Dahlias, Gladioli and Lilium. I also treated myself to some Agapanthus (one of the prettiest plants in SA I think....) some Arum lillies, and also some Jacobean lillies.... I think they will all look glorious. I also want to go and get some roses, but I will leave that for a month or so.
