Bloomin’ good and bad

Peter Dowdall suggests you get out your pencil and paper to record what worked and what didn’t for 2014.

Soon we will be inundated with reviews of the year and the highs and lows of 2014 — everything from births and deaths, rock concerts, natural disasters, wars, protests, celebrity marriages and good news stories will be included.

So now is the time to do your own review — to take stock of your outdoor space and decide what worked well in the garden this year and what didn’t; what plants have outgrown the space and what space needs more plants.
