Days and days of it with a few clear spells in between, are making it hard to get planting a newly dug out and turned over flower bed. It's becoming very boring to see this dire weather all the time and last night, we had yet another horrible gale that went on for hours. However, I've been told that the choice of what goes into this bed is mine entirely (I'll believe that when I see it!) and so I'm able to enjoy a bit of dream-gardening, at least. So far, I'm thinking of Dahlia Engelhardt's Matador, Thalicturm delavayi Hewitt's Double (lots), Nepeta, Phlox White Admiral, Iris chrysographes, Nerines,
Dianthus Old Mother Hubbard, Diascia personata, Salvia involucrata and as Ray says when I list that lot to him - a rather bigger border altogether! ;-) As an experiment - because it might not live - I'd like to try Thunbergia gregorii up the wall. It goes mad at Coleton Fishacre but they're so close to the sea that it suffers little in winter. And because it will be outside bedroom windows and the office window, I'd also like to try a couple of Lonicera for height and scent. As I say - one can but dream!

Don't forget the spring/summer bulbs
