"Probably going to plant some herbs on my balcony and see how they do. Unfortunately it's almost north facing so doesn't get much sun. Any advice gratefully received"
Chives mint and parsley will do well North facing .
You can get small pots and grow chilli's indoors on a sunny windowsil too.xx |

Nothing this year. I planted out loads of tubs last year but my (then) pup chomped on quite a few of the plants so this year I’m waiting to see if any will recover, grow and/or flower. I’ll plant out some more next year.
My daffodils are looking nice and the Tulips are coming on.
Snowdrops were a very poor show this year. Seemed like they only flowered for a week. |

"Planted a few mixed flowers into tubs, hanging basket trailing and tomato. Tidied up strawberry plants that survived winter. "
I bought a meadow flower tub for the bees, and waiting for some sunflower seedlings to come up.
Do you/anyone know the buckets council provided to put food waste out in, if they’d be suitable to grow a sunflower in? Maybe one caddy to one sunflower? |

Be careful with mint.
Keep it in pot on its own.
It's going to spread when established |

I put a couple hundred of tulips in in Nov and they’re looking good. Got a few lavender and rosemary plants to go in.
No veg this year as I will be away too much to care for it which is sad as I finally have a big south facing garden and greenhouse |

I was walking to market with my cow and I encountered a little old man who persuaded me to trade my cow for 3 magic beans.
I've just planted them... Not sure if they will grow into anything at all.. |

Just sorted my herb garden. And I've planted a potato vine this week. I have 3 veg beds I need to start planting. And potatoes to put in their tubs.
In addition to that I'm going to plant a native hedgerow instead of fence panels. Better get my butt in gear  |

"Got all sorts going on.... The usual daffs and tulips, some gladioli, peonies, bleeding heart, hyacinths.
A few climbers, passion flower, clematis, honey suckle...
"
Oh I absolutely love peonies they're beautiful. Though I'm rubbish at growing them |
