I tried to make a special effort to do more flowers this year, raised many from seed, potted on, etc... but then life happened, most of them died :( TBH the hot/dry conditions would have likely wiped many of them out anyway. I should try and get more autumn/overwinter flower planting done... which I tell myself every year, and never manage. Maybe this year! (Probably not at the rate things are currently going.)
Which all re-enforces my preference for low maintenance perennials lol... I'll probably keep trying though.
(Also no shame in buying in plug plants... well, I keep telling myself that haha.)
