Growing Lillies in containers
but I have succumbed again. I put a layer of wine corks and grit in the bottom for drainage and then use good quality general purpose compost.   I give occasional liquid feeds of rose or tomato food to help the bulbs produc ebetter flowers each year by David 25

Nematodes...every slugs enemy:)
caulis, sprouts and broccolli this  year, and I've heard that the slug gone is very useful to use as a mulch around them. They also have other stuff in there, including ladybird larvae, glue bands, sulphur rose (for treating blackspot), you name it by The Manic Slughunter:)

Nightmare Garden To Design Around - Help Needed
,  honeysuckles, Clematis vitalba (Traveller's Joy/Old Man's Beard) .  You could also put in some rambling roses, hazel, sambuccus niger (black leaved elder) - the list goes on .....  Because you've got all those tree roots when planting shrubs I'd buy small ones by Myfallenheart

Spring -summer
flower early. There are a number of clematis that flower early, especially the (large) clematis montana and there are also roses that start in May. Spicebush and Fothergilla are two early-flowering shrubs that flower around April and May. Thanks GG I by Bunny..

Front garden very uninteresting
and, if I ever get on top of the couch grass will then plant a selection of shrubs and a few perennials using a colour scheme of red/orangs with odd bits of blue. There is a Queen Elizabeth rose(pink) but can't move that as the neighbours gave it me by Rosa carriola
