What can I buy online for my pots?

[ScottyDottyDooDah]

I should pre-empt this request by saying I am the world's worst gardener!

I have a couple of hanging baskets plus some wall-mounted baskets, and about a dozen pots in the garden.

I usually go out and buy whatever little plants take my fancy, and take no notice as to what they'll need in order to flourish.

Invariably they have died by the end of the summer, and I get rid of them and start again the next year!

What can I buy (I'll need to get seeds online, I think!), that will be hardy and look after itself, can be planted now for early summer blooming and will provide a riot of colour? I need quite a bit of variety :-)

I am willing to water stuff whenever I remember!

I’m desperate to support our local place so I called them today and they are delivering:

125l compost
5 x seed packs (I wanted sweet pea, sunflower, etc)
And I asked for a couple of plants with a requirement for location and price but asked them to chose the specifics

They took payment online and are delivering on Friday and wee very grateful for the trade.

I said I would call again with my bedding ‘asks’ after Easter. No issue from them.

Could you do the same to support a local business?

Potatoes do well in pots
Sweet peas, mix night scented stock in between and grow up a few garden canes.
Try and use a compost that has food in like Miracle grow etc as it feeds then for the fist few months
We use a cheap Ebay irrigation system on our pots its well worth it if not on a water meter

Easy seeds for flowers are cosmos and nasturtium...I picked up a couple of packets on my local Sainsbury's when doing a food shop. Cosmos are starting to shoot after 3 days indoors . I'm looking for online suppliers for tomato plants and gro bags to keep kids occupied but not used to looking online

Bacopa is easy and would be good for the wall mounted and hanging baskets as it trails .

I have Lamium ( mega purple and white nancy ) in difficult /neglected spots in my garden and also in hanging baskets .It's more or less a weed !

Nemesia is lovely .

if you can get any of them as plug plants
