I can happily say that, with the help of cuttings, splitting perennials from my garden back in England and a large dose of Lidl's excellent flower seeds, we now have flowers in abundance!
The planting is an informal mix, but we're pleased with the result and fortunately we like poppies - most of these have self-seeded from outside the garden!
We look forward to the flowering of all the China Aster, Snap-Dragon, Dianthus and Hollyhocks etc.. grown from seed but I think you'll agree, we've plenty to keep us busy in the meantime!
