    What are we doing in the garden 2026

    Thank you @Busy-Lizzie, the challenge now is to find flowering plants that don’t lean :). Grasses and Nepetas are fine and the Rudbeckias I got this week should be OK in the sunniest area.

    What is this please?

    It started growing last spring after I had scattered some wildflower seeds. I kept it in hope it might flower at some point. Any ideas please?

    What pot? You say you are going to put them in a hanging basket. They are only small plants, they don't need a deep pot at the moment.
