Cottage gardens have no need for mood planting, all types of perennials are simply put where they will thrive. However, some gardeners prefer to plan their garden as they do their homes, with colours which complement, match or contrast with each other.

Nothing is more satisfying, than seeing plants growing strongly, but of course there will always be some failures. But how sad it is when the failure is your fault. To avoid this, it is vital that you find out about the plants, even before you buy them and especially before planting them. Make certain that the types of perennials, are going to thrive where you are planning to put them, before considering the colour scheme.

Some people are blessed with green fingers. Others are blessed with a talent for murdering plants in cold blood, no matter how hard they try to nurture and tend. I fall into the second category, as if you had not already guessed.

You would think that, being a person of some limited capability with regard to gardening, I would live in a place consisting mostly of concrete with the occasional indestructible tree defying all my attempts at slaughter. Instead, I live in a garden which stretches the entire length of my house and is at least four times the width.

Compost piles are feeding centers for billions of microorganisms. While it may be said that inside every gardener is a farmer waiting to get out, in reality every gardener with a compost pile already has a huge number or plants and animals under his or her care, grazing and growing in the midst of the pile.

Compost piles are best thought of an one unit when thinking of care and feeding. We build the pile as the optimum ground for an invisible creature made up of billions of microorganisms and then let nature take its course. Like all creatures, our pile needs food, water and air to survive.
