    Hi, I have recently moved into a new house and I'd very much like to plant some of my favourite plants/bulbs into the garden this year. I love Lilies, Peonies and Azaleas but as a new gardener, I am unsure when I should plant these out... I have looked at various websites but I can't seem to find definitive answers. If someone could please advise me, I would be most grateful. Many thanks, Fuzzypeach.

    Hi Fuzzypeach,if the soil & weather permitting plant peonies now also lilium may be planted,plant lily bulbs on sand with 3in soil above the bulb, azaleas need an acidic moisture retentive soil,hardy varieties can be planted now,

    Hi jonjon, Many thanks for your reply! That's just the answer that I was hoping for. I would hate to get to the summer and not be able to see any of the plants that I love so much blooming in my garden! Fingers crossed that they get going before then. Thanks again.
