My next step was to go through Pippa Greenwood's book writing down all the plants she mentioned then looking them up on the RHS website to see what they looked like and if I liked them and how easily they'd be to get hold of.
In our old house I made great plans for our garden only to find I can't find any of the plants I wanted as the book was written in America and plants that are commonly available there aren't necessarily as available here. We were on a budget and for me to have the flowers I'd fallen in love with would have costed much more than we could have afforded and they probably wouldn't have survived a British winter.
Once I'd got my list I wanted to make sure we'd have something flowering in the garden all year round so I put all my chosen plants in a chart and marked on when they'd flower and when I needed to plant them. Whilst doing this I realised that I'd picked plants that I'd be able to grow from seed quite easily. My chart is below.
