Growing flowers on our allotment

Many allotmenteers don;t consider that there is a place for flowers  on an allotment but we disagree.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dead heading dahlias

 

If you want to prolong the flowering period of your dahlias it's important to dead head.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Growing and propagating lavenders

Lavenders make good edging plants and provide perfume. Bees and butterflies love them and so do I.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Growing sweet peas

Beautiful cut flowers to perfume your home.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

An annual flower bed

An annual flower bed not only looks good but provides beneficial insects with a place to dine.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Self sown flowers

Some plants just don't need the gardener and do it for themselves.
