May have heard it before

I only thought about it last year, but I love gardening as a lot of you do as well. It is time consuming, but so worth it for the end result.

On my decking at the back of the garden I have too fairly large pots. I have back problems so most of my plants are grown in pots as it is easier for me. The two big pots, by the step I put in lots of spring bulbs, once they have all flowered and died back, I then empty them and store the bulbs for the following year.

I then plant up another pot that actually sits really well inside the larger pot with summer bedding. Hopefully if we do get a long hot summer the pot will still be going strong. I can take them out and start putting in my spring bulbs for next year. I then just place the other pots around the decking until they have finished flowering. It just saves on wasting a healthy summer pot, when you need to get the spring bulbs planted up in the autumn.image

    That's a very good idea....floral crop rotation.....and it looks so pretty.
