My mum was a fabulous gardener, and one bit of advice she gave me was to check out what is in the local gardens around you. You can tell what plants are suited to the environment that way, and those will be more likely to survive.
I look at the local council gardens to see what is possible in this area, what micro-climate a plant needs ( iow, does it need shade or sun, warmth or coolth ) , and when to do planting and pruning.
That's also a good idea, thanks again sea
That's some great advice, thanks spring chicken (and spring chickens mum)
