Hoping.....

Its nearly the end of March and usually by this time of the year I have my decking gleaming, my cream walls painted and my pots glowing. I am usually checking my plants every days waiting in anticipation for the first buds to emerge. I always have a wish list of plants ready to order for the summer but this year its still a mess out in my garden, I dont know if it is the combination of last years weather which seems to be continuing into this years that has zapped all of my enthusiasm but I gave myself a big shake today and made a start.

I am always looking to improve things and so I have ordered the following plants in abundance, I want to create an orange and purple mingled look so I hope I get it right this year.

Agastache ‘Black Adder’
Erigeron ‘Dunkelste Aller’
Thalictrum delavayi
Salvia verticillata ‘Purple Rain’
Tulbaghia violacea
Geum ‘Prinses Juliana’
Geum ‘Mrs J. Bradshaw’

I do hope that they look good together, and I cant wait to watch them grow….

“Your mind is a garden, your thoughts are the seeds, you can grow flowers or you can grow weeds” My motto for this year. xxx

They sound lovely choices, well done you on not being put off by the weather and spending the time planning ahead. I look forward to pics when they're all flowering and putting on a wonderful display!:)

I like your motto, and I like the thought of purple and orange together. Contrasting colours can create a bright and lively effect.
I hope the weather will warm up soon. March isn't a warm month but this year it is colder than usual.
