Is it too late to plant??? (image inc)
Hi, (image below)
I plan to plant a row of flowers or plants to cover the gap under my shed.
Is it too late to do it now? If not when would I need to do it by? If it is then when can I do it and would doing it now be bad for the plants?
Also, I plan to plant a rosemary plant that I currently have in a pot next to the apple tree in the corner, would that be a bad place to put it?
There is a down pipe from my shed on its left but the apple tree sucks that up fairly quickly.

Rosemary likes plenty of sun and a well drained soil. Also it would compete with your apple tree, although that would not really matter if the apple is not primarily for apples. Rosemary attracts a lot of beneficial insects, which is good for the garden.Warning: This forum may contain nuts.0

Which direction does the flower bed face (how much sun will it get), and what sort of plants do you have in mind?
Pot-grown plants that are hardy perennials (tolerate winter conditions and come back every year) can be planted all year round so long as the ground is neither frozen nor waterlogged.0 -
The garden is south facing so that part gets no direct sunlight ever.
Does that limit me? I need plants that cover it year round but nothing that will grow huge or ruin the concrete bedding under my shed.0 -
It only limits you if u have your heart set on a full sun plant
