Herbs and Wildflowers

Ok, I am not sure, what is answering what to what on the above????

I would guess a Mullein. There tend to be lots around here this year-very eyecatching.

That looks beautiful! :thumb:I'm planning to do the same with a bit of border up the side of my house.

I have Rosemary Mint (various - Apple Mint, Lavender Mint, Berries and Cream Mint, Ginger Mint). also Pennyroyal, which is a type of mint, I THNK!! Lavender - LOTS of lavender!! You can cook with lavender.....and anyway it smells so good. Orange scented thyme - this is heavenly, such a...

LOL thats basically the route i was going to take anyway:D

We allow one of our fields to grow as a wild flower meadow and don't let the horses graze on it until late summer. We have a lovely display of flowers every year:thumb:

wow. very pretty flowers.

I live in Norfolk and we are eating dill and corriander already from my raised bed. These seedlings seem too close and have had too little light. Perhaps turning the pot 180 degrees daily might help too. Good luck.

Good luck Whiskey. Despite taking cut grass away and refilling seeds every year, (this year Yellow Rattle) I fear this year, year 4, we will have few oxe-eye daisies as the grass and buttercups take over. If so, we start again in the autumn with a plough and another plan.We cut August and...

Hi Kalmia I use the Reader's Digest Field Guide to Wild Flowers it cost me 11.99 a few years ago, it's now 8.99 on play.com including delivery. The only drawback is that it can be confusing because it is set out in plant families and I prefer to look up the flower colour and work from there, but...

Just bought some parsley from A Well-Known Supermarket, (no, not Tesco) but I don't hold out much hope, parsley's a bit difficult...... I do sometimes buy herbs from their Garden Centre Department, but usually I buy them from Jekka's Herb Farm. Just off home to do some more planting!!

Go to Gordon Riggs in Walsden and/or Rochdale.

I was intrigued about that many years ago Persephony.. I used to companion plant in planters & beds whenever I could.. . Depending on how big your container is, here are some herb combinations that will all grow well together as companions in pots:1) Sage, rosemary, lavender, thyme and...

OOOOOH ! I read this halfway through a cup of tea. LOOKAT THE STATE OF MY KEYBOARD ! God I love Basil, and the wee rat was cute too !

Hmm - I do understand what you're saying but I need to consider that I may not keep the house for very long. What would a potential buyer want....a wildflower meadow? Yes, in flower only.

Almost certainly, at least you know it is not something you have done or not done.

Thats so pretty!!

Shiney,they would be ok for us as our North border at the bottom of the garden is very wet so they would be happy there.We have managed to grow for the last two years Ragged-Robin[Lychnis flos-cuculi} and it is shedding it's seeds everywhere with a little help from me so it might be worth trying...

And now for the real answer. Annuals, these are sown and flower the same year. Biennials, these are sown one year to flower the next. Perennials, these are your trees and shrubs. Herbaceous Perennials, these are plants which grow, flower and die back every year. Among these are Dicentra, Phlox,...

This link from the BBC looks to me like it fits your description Linlin http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A617564
