Too chilly to plant now?
spring. Consider though what you want form this area, do you want to fill it with perennials or could it be filled with a mix of annuals also. how about growing some of your own food here mixed in with the shrubs, standard fruit bushes can make good focal by CuriousGardener

Ideas for new rented property
are the cheapest. Hardy annual seeds you just scatter on the earth according to what the packet says. Or you could put pots of flowers and some garden furniture on the concrete bit, hard to tell how big it is. If the budget runs to it it would be nice to have some by adejones

Wildflowers
in grass I'd go down the plugs (or larger), route. If I was sowing a hay meadow from scratch I'd sow everything in weedfree soil in the autumn. If I was growing an annual cornfield mix (cornflowers, poppies, corncockle etc. I'd sow direct into cultivated by Bookwormy

Damnation to double flowers
it gave me the idea. I've divided it now to make space for single flowering plants which will give them a helping hand. I have some more hardy geraniums to go in and have started off Cosmos, Echinacea,Rudbeckia,Oriental poppy Dwarf Allegro and an annual by Woodgreen wonderboy

What was the name of that lovely plant
this year. That's great kate1123 - sounds a really good buy. I do agree about the biennials this year and am thinking of growing some hardy annuals later in the year to overwinter indoors ready to plant out next year - sounds a bit extreme maybe but I have by Ken Wallace

Dogwood Cuttings
also use some of them as 'hoop' supports around potentially flopping hardy geraniums. BTW none of these stems did root, but agree with Verdun about checking around your shrub to see if it's already done the job for you. J. I know chap who uses dogwood by Jammy2

Leaving tulips in the ground
be the sticking point. Good luck. It really is hardy worht growing hybrid tulips to come back year on year as most of them don't.  I do have a few that have retuned for several years, but mostly I regard them, especially ones grown in pots, as annuals.  They by Charlie November

Do these grow through plants?
soil fill those gaps with annuals-iris,aliums, gladiolis being single stemmed flowers will just grow though. I'm going to grow stuff roughly 2/3 the recommended planting distance for non-sprawling plants, as I need to cram in the plants. But help by Adam Young
