Good evening all,, due to cut backs at work I'm looking for getting good results in my garden without paying top end prices.
Being a novice gardener I'm bound to make mistakes being overwhelmed by pretty flowers, that won't do well in my garden. I have no idea of my soil type but can tell you I have a nice sunny garden south west facing. Bit of wind but not overly exposed.
I would rather buy my plants from reliable garden centres where staff know what there talking about. But simply can't afford there prices. So I'm thinking of reverting back to b&q / supermarkets and such....
Problem there being I always feel the staff are unable to advise correctly & after talking to some staff I always come away dissatisfied with the customer service.
So here I am again looking for advice from you kind folk. Ive got a garden fence in the front garden I'm looking to grow something against it. But don't know where to start.
It's south facing
About 10 metres in length by approx 3ft in hight
I'm wanting to grow something that flowers will spread and climb
Must be hardy & easy to grow (aberdeen area)
I've been thinking of a climbing rose but always thought there hard work to keep looking good I might be wrong? Do all roses do ok in north east Scotland or is there one I should look out for to buy or avoid?
Pleases guys suggestions will be greatly appreciated
Many thanks Steve.
