So I finally got round to digging over my border

Hi all

It's been a while, some of you may have seen my previous thread about my small border stressing me out. (http://gardenerscorner.co.uk/forum/...-is-stressing-me-out.52118/page-2#post-690173)

Well my mother in law came round yesterday and decided to make a start on it, so we were both out there for an hour or so and here is the result!



Apparently its not quite finished yet, but looks good to me, now I just nee dot figure out/decide what flowers to put in it. (suggestions welcome).

 

Well done

I'm wildflowers & veg department so its no good asking me

I'm sure the others will come up with a bit of autumn colour for you though

 

i'm a real novice when it comes to flowers and gardening. So have no idea what to stick in it.

 

I'd be putting Leeks, Purple Sprouting Broccoli, Kale, Land Cress, Lambs Lettuce, Garlic and Mizuna in

That's why I got fired from the Council Parks Department

 

I like leeks, can i grow some in between my flowers?

 

Yep, there's a few series on edible flower gardens, i'll see if I can find you one.......

 

Thanks, I went to my friends mom's when I was 15 and we had dinner the salad had bright blue flowers in it, I think her mom noticed the surprise on my face, I'd never eaten flowers before and to be honest I only ever eat them when I visit her.


I love colour and low maintenance (with the exception of a one or two but not the whole border) so hoping someone will be along who can help with that.

 

I was thinking of Geoff Hamilton's Ornamental Kitchen Garden, but it's not on Youtube

 

My mate got disturbed when I had Nasturtium flowers in me sandwiches

 

after a quick google she put Borage in the salad.

I have to say even now i'm still a bit disturbed by it!

 

Ahh, must be Pimm's O'clock time then
