That’s a beautiful house front. What sort of look are you after? I’m currently obsessed with fleabanes/érigerons as I think they look beautiful, but they’re quite a casual look and they spread like wildfireCan anyone recommend a seed for me to plan in my wall and advice how I plant them? This isn’t my house, it’s a one for sale down the road but this is what the wall is like.
I think they’re very pretty. I have campanula growing on the wall between my house and the neighbours and it looks lovely when in full bloom. Pinks would be a nice mix and I do love that combo. Do I just put the seeds directly in the wall?That’s a beautiful house front. What sort of look are you after?

If you want it cascading over the wall, creeping phlox would look good. Come in lots of vibrant colours.Can anyone recommend a seed for me to plan in my wall and advice how I plant them? This isn’t my house, it’s a one for sale down the road but this is what the wall is like.
Love this! Maybe not in the red white and blue (don’t want to look like I’m waving a flag) but this would look very pretty.If you want it cascading over the wall, creeping phlox would look good. Come in lots of vibrant colours.

No I agree but I just posted that pic to show the different colours.Love this! Maybe not in the red white and blue (don’t want to look like I’m waving a flag) but this would look very pretty.
@Girty Drifter thank you very much. Here’s hoping I can get some going in a brick wall rather than stone
Earlies mean when they crop so first earlies will be ready about June and July, second earlies a bit later.Right, tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce and peppers started today. Disappointed that my chives, most of my aubergines and strawberries didn't germinate at all (they were sown two weeks ago so definitely not worked). I need to start some courgettes and get my onion/shallot sets in the ground (slightly worried I've left this too late) and chit my potatoes this week. I've got 3 first early and 3 second early - I have no idea what this meansThe first early doesn't seem to have sprouted much but the 2nd earlies have gone crazy in the bag (I briefly lost them... for a month...).
So the plan for my garden this year is -
- Lettuce (iceberg, little gem and red cos) and maybe cucumber in the greenhouse soil (has had tomatoes in it for two years running now).
- Tomatoes, mixed salad leaves, aubergine, melon and cape gooseberry in pots in the greenhouse
- Garlic (been in since October), onion, shallots, peas, courgette, ? cucumber, beans, leek if they germinate and carrots in the ground of the veg patch
- Potatoes and strawberries (got an old plant still alive, and will try and germinate some more from seed) in pots/sacks on the patio
I think that's it. I feel like I'm missing a few veg there. I want to try and have a decent variety of things.
And they’re one of the first vital sources of pollen for bees!If you have a garden plant crocuses in the grass during September. It’s such a lovely sight in the Spring seeing them come into bloom.
I don’t but I did see an ad saying they are £15 at Tesco !Does anyone have any experience with olive trees? They're £17 at aldi right now and I would like one but would it do well in our less than sunny climate?.
