Planning your year

zoom

Spend time on the winters evenings planning and looking through the seed and bulb catalogues – I love this job – it is great to make notes of the things you want to grow – what was successful last year and which specialist group of plants you may want to try your hand at growing.  For example, dahlias, chrysanthemums. See www.hallsofheddon.co.uk for a really comprehensive list of dahlias and chrysanthemums.

Get your orders for seeds in early to avoid the Christmas post and an to ensure your selections are available – see Chilterns seeds, www.chilternseeds.co.uk, Nicky’s seeds, www.nickys-nursery.co.uk or  the Real Seed company, www.realseeds.co.uk and The Garden House also has a great selection, see our website under shop, www.gardenhousebrighton.co.uk
