Is it too early to plant up some patio pots?

[Chippychop]

If not what can I put in them? Can I plant up some herbs too? Don't have a green house

Where in the country (assuming you're in the UK) are you? It's a bit early for tender things like pelargoniums, but you might get away with it if you're in a mild microclimate and/or can cover them with fleece at night.

With herbs, it again depends on how tender they are. Most will be fine but tender annuals might perish if there's a frost.

I'm in north beds. Thinking of putting herbs on my patio, east and south facing on two sides? The rest of the garden is getting landscaped so patio is my only thing I can add colour to at the mo

My potatoes, peas, onions, runner beans, aubergines, strawberries and raspberries are all fine in pots on my balcony. South coast, east facing :)

it's not too early, but please please please watch the forecast and with any sign of frost overnight cover them with fleece or plastic.

plus, you can buy a small plastic greenhouse for about 20quid.

hi - complete beginner gardener here. We have a newbuild house with a small, north facing garden. The end gets some sun but the patio near the house is in shade 100% of the time. Am thinking hanging baskets would be the best way to add colour and maybe something climbing up trellis' on the fences (very tall, wooden, quite raw looking). My questions are:

1. How do you make up a hanging basket, ie lining and flower suggestions please
2. For the climbing plants, how much lawn do I need to dig up to give the root space it will need? I presume I then add compost, especially as the turf is poor quality and the soil mostly builders rubble

Many thanks

sorry, ignore that, was meant to be a new thread!
