Margaret's top 3 plants for your patio!

AgapanthusGiantBlue_1.jpg 1. Agapanthus A truly remarkable perennial which keeps  coming back year after year. My own Agapanthus actually survived the last two arctic winters, though I know that people lost some varieties to the bitter weather. The secret to survival is having very well drained soil. I used plenty of grit when planting and it really paid off because the plants are thriving off it! They have a very long flowering season and you can expect masses of blue flowers from June to October.

    Midsummer’s day has passed and everyone is wondering whether summer will ever arrive this year. Eternal optimists, we have still managed to eat quite a few meals outside in the Neville household recently, hopping over the puddles to get to our outdoor dining table.

    93549953_1.jpg I discovered to my horror at the weekend that our entire potato crop has been affected by blight. In all the years that we have been growing spuds this has never happened to such an extreme extent. There was a blight warning issued to the farmers last week and with all the rainfall it is no surprise.

    obelisk_1.jpg It can sometimes take years to get the right balance in a planting scheme. There are areas in my garden which I am  still striving to ‘get right’ and that’s only natural. However, the group of plants in the photograph is one spot that I am really enjoying at the moment.

  • Garden colour – hot colours or pastels?

    bee-on-foxglove_1.jpg Small town gardens can visually double in size simply by using the right colour scheme! Pastel pinks, soft salmon, balmy blues, creams and whites give the illusion of distance and space so these colours are very useful in a smaller garden.

    lavender2_2.jpg Well summer is here and, regardless of the rain, plants will still thrive and flower, some more than others in the wet though. One such plant that is familiar to most is the Hydrangea. I love them and have many different varieties in my garden.

    This time of year we hope to spend the majority of our days in the garden. However, there may be other things besides the rainy weather stopping us from lounging on the lawn or having a kick about with the kids.
