Hi folks, I'm waiting for a delivery of Tree Lily "Picasso" bulbs from T&M - just wondered if anyone has tried these? If so, any top tips?

Hi all, I got given a lovely pack of mixed wildflower meadow seeds for Christmas, and I'm wondering about the best use for them? I have a large patch of ground where we have recently removed a fir tree, and I was planning on creating a mini wildflower meadow there as I've been advised they like poor soil. Should I just scatter the seeds and hope for the best???

I'm a new gardener too and have a large, plastic walk in  greenhouse and a couple of small 4 shelf ones - all unheated - and I wonderd if these would be warm enough to put my plant and tomato seeds in next month??

Front garden plants?

Hello, I am looking for some advice on what to plant in my front grden. We moved to a new house last year and currently the front garden is just (pretty scrubby) lawn. We have a low wall, about 10 ft long, and I'd like to plant some hedging type shrubs along it to give us some protection from the main road. We get a lot of sun in this garden - when we have any! Any suggestion of a pretty hardy plant that will survive the traffic and the sun but will grow quite big?

Thank you!
