I have just agreed to take over a patch of my elderly neighbour's garden which is currently overgrown with weeds - she is elderly and has just got out of hospital and the bit of garden I will be responsible for is the bit people see first, down the side of the driveway by the letterbox.
I didn't really want to spend money on someone else's garden when I've been forcing myself to be frugal with my own so whipping down to the nursery didn't feel like an option. I decided to have a look at what I had in the way of seeds. She wasn't keen on Lavender (I have seeds for the dwarf munstead variety) because it attracts bees and the last thing she wants is to get stung when she goes to get her mail. The trouble is I deliberately selected loads of seeds to attract bees, like Bergamot bee balm etc.
I decided on Gaillardia Lorenziana Mix which should look good enmasse and hopefully a good range of colours germinate. I've sown a whole tray so fingers crossed.
Pity they're not perennial, will have to think what to put there next...
