Now is the time to sow seeds for spring and early summer biennials.
These include forget-me-nots, wallflowers (pictured), Sweet Williams, foxgloves, pansies and more. They’re all easy to grow from seed.
So if you’ve bought them as plants in the past, try some from seed instead this year. All you need is an outdoor area of soil which is usable as a seed-bed. Work the soil down to crumbly, friable consistency. Mark out the area and then sow your seeds in rows, thinly and not too deeply. If the weather turns dry, irrigate the soil to keep it moist.
When you hear the word ‘orchid’, what comes to mind? Whatever the image, it’s probably not a border perennial. Nevertheless, hardy orchids are the prettiest plants in my garden.
Of the world’s 28,000 orchid species, 52 are native to Britain. Many lack value in a flowerbed or are unobtainable. But some of the remainder are beautiful enough to delight even a discriminating gardener.
Most are wild species, brought into cultivation. But there are hybrids too, all fully hardy and easy to grow. Then there are more challenging orchids; difficult to nurture but beautiful.
