My Proto Garden

So, in addition to my grass areas which I am going at with the garden shears, trying to leave the areas where I've got buttercups and herb robert uncut, I've been gifted a few pot plants which I've set  up around my front door.

It's just the start.

My folks got me these for the bees, although I think only the lavender will really attract those - to be fair they wanted to get me lobelia to hang up, but there wasn't any.

No worries, I can add further plants myself, this is just my little start.

    Nice selection of plants. Keep a close eye on the buttercups and herb robert if you don't want them to take over the garden.

    The lavender should attract bees, and things like cranesbill, perennial geranium and a plant with yellow flowers - possibly St John's wort are good too. A good excuse for allowing a bit of untidiness.
