Plant Me Now to the rescue I’ve had a spring delivery of plug plants from Plant Me Now and will be planting up some new containers and filling in gaps where the wet winter did it’s worst. The plugs are good size and well-established so with warm weather forecast I should be able to plant them out after they have had a few days in the cold frame.
I’m planning to plant the white-margined Hosta Minuteman in pots with an underplanting of Viola Labradorica – the deep coloured leaves and purple flowers will be a good foil for the hostas. On the basis that a shady garden can never have too many foxgloves, I’ve also got some of the Dalmatian series foxgloves, while the plants of Campanula Blue Bell are destined for a sunny spot in the border.
I love campanulas, so I’m not sure why I’ve not had any in the garden up to now. If they like it here I will be delighted.

Foundation plantings often are overlooked and underappreciated, but they don’t have to be utilitarian and boring. The right foundation plants can add instant curb appeal by providing color, texture and structure.

There’s a reason it’s called the Mighty Oak: Oak trees are stately trees that can live for hundreds (yes, hundreds!) of years. “If you want to plant a tree your great-grandkids can enjoy, go with an oak,” says Greg Huber, a Georgia Registered Landscape Architect (RLA), and program coordinator of the certified landscape and plant professional programs at theGeorgia Center for Urban Agriculture, University of Georgia. “There’s tremendous variety, and oaks have a classic beauty that feels solid and unchanging.”

I love the way Francesca Grace stages a house. I love it because every room doesn’t look the same. I love it because her homes are filled with good ideas. And I really love it because she takes home staging, which is the epitome of sameness, and does the opposite.
When I first installed raised beds in my garden, I often felt like a dolt and mistakes were thick on the ground. I’d neglect adding compost and then not understand why my raspberries weren’t thriving, for example. Or I’d forget to turn off my timer on a rainy day and kick myself for wasting water. I also assumed certain things that just weren’t true—like I couldn’t plant any summer vegetables after spring.
