Hi
We moved into a new house last year which has a big front garden.
As complete newcomers to even having a garden, we don't have a clue what to plant. We were thinking about daffodils to begin with because we think they are straight forward. Is it the right time of the year for daffodils, can anyone suggest a couple of nice varieties, where to get them (we live in co Wicklow) and any other useful advice would be great
Thanks

I see no one has replied to you.......very briefly, the time to plant spring bulbs is in the autumn, and you will be able to buy them at any garden centre then.
In the meantime, start to look around at what other people are growing in your area, that will give you an idea of what plants like your particular conditions......and buy a couple of beginners' gardening books. We all started as beginners and made plenty of mistakes, and slowly learnt a little as we went along. That is the great thing about gardening.....as long as you are enjoying it, there are no fixed rules as to how to embark on this journey. Good luck! |
