| Thank you to those who wrote in and made suggestions, though the majority were not helpful. In the end I decided to do my own research by going round and looking at what is doing well in some of our neighbor's gardens.I highly recommend this practice as it is also a way of getting to know them and new plants!
Our list, not by any means comprehensive is as follows: Abelmoschus Hedychium (Ginger Lily)
It seems enough to be getting on with and I haven't even mentioned trees or vegetables! Don't worry. There are plenty I have failed with. If it's not in the list, it's probably one of them. One I forgot to mention, but they are surprisingly good are Roses. You must prune them often, however. One tip I have found very useful. Wherever possible in clay soil sow seeds direct, working in plenty of sand into the drill. The problem occurs immediately after germination when the roots find it difficult to penetrate the dense soil, so give them a good start...and of course don't forget to water! If you'd like to know more please mail me: ifraser57@hotmail.com. |
