2. Add a low-admin plant

If you are after a love-it-andleave-it plant, turn to the delightful forget-me-not. Seeds can be sown and seedlings planted now. This generous wee bedding plant starts flowering at this time of year and will continue until summer arrives. Plant in drifts under shrubs or trees, as they suit shade as well as sunny spots with a reasonable level of moisture. Blue, pink and white colours are available.
