I am a complete novice but have decided to throw myself into improving our bland garden. I really like the idea of having flowering plants for much of the year. However, i know nothing about this.
If you had an area of your border in which you planted something like snowdrops, could you also plant bulbs in the same area for daffodils, and then something else to bloom in late summer? Do you plant them all in exactly the same place? Do they not compete with each other when growing? Or do you scatter them around your garden leaving empty spaces dotted around?
Also, if all in same area, does it disturb the plant if you have to plant bulbs later in the year? I hope i am making sense?! My favourite flowers are snowdrops, bluebells, daffodils and jasmine. Are these all easy flowers to grow? Any other suggestions on plants i can use to give me colourful flowers for most of the year? I would like to stick to a colour scheme of blues, yellows and whites.
Is it easy to grow a cutting garden? I love the idea of going out to my garden to pick flowers and put them straight into a vase. Sorry, lots of questions here, hope i get a few answers!
