Talkback: Nature in the garden

Advice for a novice
for most things to start permanent planting.  Bulbs for spring need to start being planted end of August into September for daffodils, much later for tulips, violas are good now and may flower all winter depenedent upon the weather.   Evergreens by Stewart Forward

Meconopsis- blue poppy - lingholm. Bareroot hostas
hydrangeas, even tulips survive the clay. Also received  some bareroot hostas should I pot on first and plant out in a few weeks? The meconopsis do well in scotland in damp acid woodland type conditions.   I grow them from seed, but I sow the seed in late by dizzylizzy

Talkback: Bedding plants
Glasgow)has a great nursery dept which sells plants and at the end of spring they leave all the dug up tulips aside for the public to help themselves to them. My chrysanths are still trying to flower too! Great money-saving tip, boabd. Certainly worth by dolores
