Good luck with your planting. Show us some pictures in due course.


Thanks again.

Just wanted to add: searching for one of the plants you mentioned randomly
brought up:

http://apps.rhs.org.uk/plantselector/

which has a nice searching function and fills in the details about water,
soil and light requirements.

I did not know about that site - seems useful

PS -

"acid feed" -

Would something like this:

http://www.housewaresonline.co.uk/ga...re-plant-food-
doff-1492105-ericaceous-plant-feed-1ltr-p-262.html

blended with neutral feed to achieve neutral pH water (at the correct dosing
rate), be a sensible approach?

I'm not even sure what our water is like here (East Sussex) - but I know how
to test it

On another tanget, seems most of my herbs would like good sun (with the
exception of coriander which apparantly makes more leaves in part shade) -
so they sound like good candidates for the front, which is handy as that's
where the kitchen is anyway!
