Hi all,
Novice gardener here hoping you can signpost me to the best options for direct sowing now, that will still produce flowers/foliage/coverage this year. I’ve done some googling, but I have adhd so I end up down a rabbit hole for one type of seed/flower and teach myself a master class in that one thing and then tend to lose sight of the overall aim to just get some pretty things growing in my garden.
I’ve been away to Northumberland recently, and noticed on Holy Island that red Valerian was growing absolutely everywhere, I’d love to grow some in my garden, and understand that it’s pretty easy and hardy from what I’ve read. But I’ve also noticed that appears to self seed absolutely everywhere, I’m not committing some huge gardeners etiquette faux pas that will annoy all my neighbours, if I plant some in my garden and it takes over everywhere else too?
Also, have suddenly had some (presumably self seeded) foxgloves in cream and pink/purple pop up in various parts of my garden, very pleased with them - especially because they didn’t cost anything and have taken no work from me 🤣 Is there anything I can do to encourage further self seeding so I get more and more of them?
Thank you x
