Hello, I am a 72 year old living on a hillside in Wales we have very
sloping land (not garden) with a thin covering of shale, therefore most
of the flowers need to be in pots. I have a 10x8 greenhouse, not
heated, its shaded and down 13 steps so carring much is not on, The
Good points are that we have a long leanto on the North side of the
house where this year I have had some success with geraniums, (but not
enough) We also have a Balcony 55ft long by 12ft at tree top height on
the South side of the house, its open to the sky, this area gets very
as you would imagine.

Now my question I want abundance of colour next year , I would like to
have some stimulation through the winter growing plants for colour and
scent also pot plants for the home and stuff my wife can cut for
arrangements. I cannot heat the undercover areas but I can fit soil
warming cables if required.
What can any one suggest. I love scent and colour, cant lift much and
digging is out of the question, perhaps I should take up stamp
collecting or train spotting. Proff

Hello Proff,

You could try some bulbs. They are easy to grow in pots and come into flower
earlier in a greenhouse.
Hyacinths and narcissus smell nice in spring and In summer lily's smell amazing.

I'll look up some more for you later today.......
