Novel idea SFord, not buying plants randomly. I'll give that one some thought. Won't change anything I'm sure. That's why I've got so many things in pots waiting for a home.
In answer to Verdun's original post, I do give plants a chance before I decide they have to go. Once they've had their last chance, thats it! Living in Cornwall, most things do reasonably well but the thing that causes problems is the strong wind and the salt laden sea breezes we get (I live very close to the camel estury).
Hi Verdun - Yes, lots of growth already (hoping we dont get a frost now!). My roses are showing shoots already and I still have japanese anenomes and penstemon still flowering in the garden from the summer.
I also use sand mixed in with top soil for my carrots. Keep meaning to collect seaweed too but have to choose my moments to fight my way through the visitors! Christmas and new year were incredibly busy.

Nice picture Sam.

I like to re-do a border after a few years and joy re-planting shrubs or plants .
Do you guys find the salt causes alot of problems then?
