Hi - I am a complete novice gardener and although I'd like to eventually learn more about gardening, at the moment I simply don't have time
I have just pulled up two hedges and have been left with two flower beds. I want to plant them with plants that don't have to replace every year and have some all round interest.
The soil around here is slightly acidic and the soil doesn't appear to be in great condition... But I really don't have the time/inclination to do much to improve it.
The beds are west facing and one gets full afternoon/evening sun, the other gets afternoon sun/morning and evening shade as it's in the shadow of a house
I went so far as to buying some little evergreen shrubs which I've planted already.
I now want to plant with just a few hardy, low maintenance (cheap!) plants that will look half decent.
Any suggestions?mi know I probably sound really lazy but all the information I've seen so far is really intimidating and I'd just like to be able to have something that looks a little bit nice for the summer!!
