Hi All. I'm new too. Have sought some troublesome potato advice this week and always enjoy reading your posts. I'm like Jimpyp really. Have caught the gardening bug for the first time since moving house. We have a big garden with veggie plot in the country and I am complete obsessed with it! (My husband frequently rolls his eyes when I try to talk to him about it). Veg is all planted up and now I have a flower bed to fill so would appreciate any advice. I want an outrageous show of colour - fire colours I think would be fun.
PS my little boy is called Monty - pure coincidence though as I wasn't a gardener when we named him!
Hi Ali- forget hubbie and chat to us all here instead!
If you want to get your son interested try something like nasturtiums as they grow quickly-he can help you put the seeds in and they come in nice fiery colours!
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

Thank you Verdun
...I hope you have a large garden, as I think most of us here enjoy a bit of virtual planting...
i wouldnt call it large salino, but i look forward to all the ideas coming my way ...
virtual planting is great - establishes quickly, always looks great and no digging required
I find it cuts down on the weeding remarkably - never any vine weevils, and the weather's usually warm
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Welcome Jimpyp. Have a great year in your garden.
Very good ladies! Virtual gardening is great isn't it. All seeds germinate almost instantly.
And Dove-it's always warm in my virtual garden..
Virtual or otherwise Jimpyp-enjoy your garden
