What can i plant now?

It's too early to buy the winter bedding as plug plants, that's more of an autumn thing. I usually do mine mid october when I pull the summer bedding out. However if you want to try growing from seed, I think you could start now if you were quick and started them off indoors.
no i was going to buy them as schrubs as opposed to seeds, i will get some in october and plant them :jRaven. :grinheart:grinheart:grinheart0 -

we're going to put in Christmas spuds (Pentland javelin), some cheeky carrots (well - you have to try! I have some random seed left over) onions (Hi Keeper and Rouge Long de Florence - both for overwintering), spring cabbage (April) and some peas for overwintering (Meteor...). If you had a poly tunnel you may get away with sowing stuff to be ready in Sept/Oct... perhaps.0

Still time to get some lettuce / mixed salad leaves and spring onion in
Also a good time (Sept/Oct) seperate a garlic bulb into cloves and get it in some pots or in the ground - mark where you've put it so you know when it starts coming up in 3 months time....
Anything that overwinters will be good - some onions are good over winter and if you're in the South you might want to try runner beans in a sheltered positionYou can bury a lot of troubles digging in the dirt

I am going to try some Heucheras for the foliage colours.
They are evergreen and lots of different colours. Also the little Winter flowering Violas are reliable and long lasting :-)Member of the £2 savers club.£320

Ooh, I've got some wisteria if you were close you could have tried a few cuttings! I've just pulled out a fragrant bush plant that I loved but was leggy, and replanted with some penstemon, a grass and some bulbs that seem to be coming through so my garden is slowly getting there!You can bury a lot of troubles digging in the dirt

If you've got any Gardening Centre Group shops locally, they have Heucheras on special offer 2 for £10. Lots of different colours, reds, purples, multi shade greens, etc. Lovely in winter 0

Hellebores will give you some early interest
Cyclamen tooYou never know how far-reaching something good, that you may do or say today, may affect the lives of others tomorrow0 -
Love Hellebores, bees don't though so don't plant if you're trying to attract wildlife but gorgeous aren't they - great suggestion!You can bury a lot of troubles digging in the dirt
