Ok thank you for your help, I think they may be bluebells I am not sure though (except the longer ones I don't know what they are.) Also not sure if they are still growing, please could someone advise me if they are dead as they don't seem to have any green shoots or anything growing from them, I will insert a picture below
Remember to put a little marker of some kind where you've planted them - a few twigs or stones or similar. That way, if you plant anything else in the same bed/border you can avoid chopping them up with a spade when you dig!
If you can post a few pix of the area you want to plant up, you'll get some suggestions. The direction your plot faces (the aspect) will help with ideas too. There's lots of plants which are happy almost anywhere so it won't be too difficult. If you like using herbs (you mentioned chives) they're are best near the kitchen door for instant access, but most of them like a bit of sun so it's more important to get the location right. Chives like a bit of shade though.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Ah thanks so much for the advice everyone that's good to know! Yeah I will replant them then and add markers. Definitelty the longer ones if they're bluebells, does anyone have any idea what the round ones are?
I'll post a pic next time I remember to take one, it's a very small area and think it's mostly in the shade. I have a few ideas of flowers I'd like to plant but still looking into whether they'd grow well in my garden!
the round ones might be bluebells to. I used to look after a garden overrun with the flippin' things. Used to remove barrowloads every couple of years.
Ha ok thanks hostafan1 maybe they are all bluebells then, ill throw some out and keep some!
Please could I get some advice on ivy - I have ivy growing up the wall which I want to keep growing, but there are some parts that have gone brown, can i just cut these bits off with scissors? Also there is some growing along the floor, to encourage it to grow up the wall would I just need to use a stick against the wall and attach the ivy?

Thanks!
The longer ones are bluebells
None of them will be dead, just plant them where you'd like to see them growing and they'll give you flowers next year
In the sticks near Peterborough
