I have some nice pots for planting but whenever I think I might plant some bulbs, or bedding plants or whatever, I find myself so utterly confounded by the choice available that I end up doing nothing. For years now. I don’t know what combinations work well, how many plants to put in each pot, how to look after the plants over the months. The only thing I can be trusted to do is water them, and admire them!
Could you wise gardeners tell me what I should buy this weekend so that I will have something pretty to look at at some point in the future?! Or some principles that I should apply?
I have six round pots, each about 40 cm in diameter.
