That is a lovely selection Esther, wish I could grow some of them but I have too much shade. My bedding will consist mainly of begonias, bacopa and mimulus.

I only use bedding for containers - plus a few annuals to pop in gaps. I'm going to grow lime green Nicotiana, because they seem to 'go' with everything, and Butterfly Antirrhinums because they're beautiful whatever colour they are.  Like this one. ;D |

are you giving busy lizzies a miss this year Esther? I like your selection.
I will try and get some of the butterfly antirrhinums this year, did they survive the cold, or are you getting new ones Geranium? and definately cosmos

Are you going for more subtle shades this year Esther? I really like that Snapdragon Geranium, I'm tempted to look for space for that one. I think they're much underrated and so easy to grow.

Grindle, there are a few still there - but most look dead. I shall get seeds and start a new lot very soon - this month, in the propagator.
Merlin, the only problem with this type is that you get so few seeds in a packet - I find I need two packets. Also - they don't seed themselves like the 'ordinary' ones do.

It will be similar to last year Merlin - 'cos I like it that way I love your Antirinnhum Geranium - it is beautiful I haven't grown them for a few years - maybe I should |
