I quite envy you all planning next years garden, I dont see much point in
doing that this year as we are planning on putting the house onto the market
next year, of course it might not sell for ages but I dont feel like
spending money for someone who may not be interested :-( so I will continue
to read what you are all going to do

You could plant what containers you are going to plant up, ready to take
with you ;-)

And which favourite plants you are going to propagate to take with you.
That is best done sooner rather than later.

Mind what you are going to take and make sure the purchaser is aware :-((

When we came to our present house I brought lots of pots with me but found
to my delight that the previous owners had a very similar taste in gardening
and planting to me, so I need not have brought so many, the chances of that
happening again are fairly remote and as we are moving up to Scotland I
guess that gardening there will be different to gardening in here in
Gloucestershire. I have however started collecting my best loved plants
such as Pheasant berry fuchsias and bays.

How about planting up some pots that you could take with you?

As long as you tell the prospective purchaser of you intentions.

Can we start another thread then for what's best for winter pots. Most I
see are usually weird combinations or those blasted artificial looking
heathers and cabbages

We have Euryops chrysanthemoides in the ones outside our front door.
They've done well in the past (different plants) but I'm not sure how
they'll do in this already wet and cold winter.

Northampton, Kathy somebody or other, she did have good combinations,
under planted with bulbs but i lost her list

Yup, winter pansies, Ophipogon (black one) ivies, tete a tete daffs etc. etc.
I take it you don't like yellow?

Too right no ideas why, just don't like yellow/orange. Finding it
jarring/unrelaxing (if that's a word.)
Like citrus yellow though and the bronzey orange that echinacea can go.

Your plant list would be okay unless the hanging basket is above eye
level surely?
First time I've thought about winter baskets and only because people
keep asking me for ideas!

Mine currently have some ivy, pansies, cyclamen and some kind of
non-trailing lobelia, apparently. (They don't look like any kind of
lobelia I've seen!)
Oh, it could be this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobelia_inflata

No problem. I found it by accident. :-)
(I picked it up in a "this looks nice, I wonder what it is" kind of way,
only found out cos the lady at the till knew it)

Mine has kind of red flowers starting to form, so it's possibly not
quite the same as that one, I didn't read far enough to check what
colours it comes in ...
