Just googled them unfortunately they wouldn't last our Irish winters.

Damn, that's unfortunate. I live in the US and they love the weather here. Good luck with your search for the right flowers to grow this year. I'm sure @Joey66 will know of more appropriate flowers to grow in your area.

As you plan your 2021 garden, pick plants that support bees, butterflies and ladybugs

Many beneficial insect species are declining and need humans’ help. If you’re looking for a new challenge this year, consider revamping part of your yard to help them.

Dear Joey.

Just spent the last 2 hours mowing the lawns, back and front.

Despite listening to the collected speeches of 'Dear Leader' (Jeremy Corbyn) on my MP3 player, I still feel exhausted and demoralised.

Advise Please.

I planted some lobelia on Monday am I going to have to dig them up and bring them inside with this cold weather coming from Monday?

Throw yourself in the road, you've got no chance.

Anyone got an idea what this is? Can't remember planting it.

Last year I got a 6m long wooden box. I cut two 2m long boxes out of it to fit between fence posts. They are 2.5ft wide and 2.5ft high, not knowing much about flowers I ended up buying a load of flowers which ended up being mostly annuals. I thought all flowers just grew back every year. Now the boxes are terrible looking and wanted to know if people could show me pictures of their gardens or tell me names of their plants to get ideas. I'm looking to mix it with spring and summer flowers to keep it flowering for as long as possible. Cheers

You want perennials... they should come back each year... or bulbs

Thanks. Looks like it doesn't it. I used that app but wasn't too sure it was that.

Delete your MP3 player guff, and replace it with Joe Walsh music.....
