Beginners question
I am finally getting round to getting my small back garden into some
sort of shape. I have even planted something [1] which was rather fun. My beginners question is - is it actually a good time to order new plants (e.g. perennials or an Acer) and stick them in the ground now or should I really wait until next year? The J Parkers catalogue [2] suggests it is a good time to plant before dormancy sets in. I'm just a bit dubious as to whether "baby" plants will root in time and not die over winter - especially in quite heavy London clay soils. [1] some grasses and hellebores. Bulbs go in soon providing the soil doesn't become horrendously wet. [2] free with gardeners world magazine. -- Paul C |
