Hi Carol
I grow mine in a pot which is about 24 inches across. I grow them up a wigwam and have two plants at the base of each support. They can grow up to about 4 or 5 feet tall. So you will need to support them, so in answer to your question: it will depend on where you have enough room for them but you can put them in their final place straight away at the size they are now.
Thanks Chris, I might plant them out this afternoon.
How exciting to have a new garden to start from scratch. Yes, a Rowan or crab apple wouldbe nice so would a ornamental cherry tree, again with beautiful blossom. Shrubs boarders would make an easier to maintain garden. Love to see more photo’s as your garden develops. 
I planted new bulbs in the Autumn to add to my collection, some of these were a spikey plain orange variety (whose name escapes me) but a couple of them I planted in a dry area under a large shrub and they’ve come out with a beautiful stripey pattern.
Those are gorgeous Tina @DaisyWings, such pretty patterns!
@reladesigns ooo a blank canvas, that’s a fab project to have! If you’re looking to encourage insects, & you still have the logs from the apple trees then you could try a woodpile in a corner somewhere? Or what about a bit of wildflower meadow for super low maintenance? Or a pond - one of the best things you can do to encourage wildlife apparently - wish we had the space for one!
By the way, anyone looking for wildflower seed then Landlife is a fab site & they are still shipping… https://www.wildflower.co.uk/
They do different meadow mixes for different conditions / areas or you can get smaller packs of particular species - I’ve always found the seed to be good quality. I just need to decide what to get for my ‘shady side’ as an alternative to the moss, brambles & weeds I currently have. I’ve decided my lockdown project will be to get it all cleared, ready for some seed in autumn 
Looks like you are all keeping really busy in the garden.
I finally managed to sew some tomato seeds and spring onion seeds - I’ve started them off in the toilet roll tubes (thanks for the idea @TeodoraPaintings x)
I’ve got carrots, lettuce and onions to go next but I’m going to sew them directly outside.
I found this pot hidden away and I think it’s got plants in from last year - I think they were petunias - do these look like petunias to you or am I growing a pot full of weeds?
Think they might be pansies Sarah. Not sure with container pansies if they’re annuals or will flower again, hopefully someone will know if it’s worth keeping them
They look like pansies to me too Sarah @thedotterypotter . Just stick them in the ground somewhere and if they flower again this year it’s a bonus!
Yup - pansies Sarah @thedotterypotter. They will flower again too.
Yes, they look like pansies. In my experience, they should flower again in autumn. But some of my pansies died completely, some flowered again in autumn then again the following year in spring.
Honestly, I think I may be going crazy but I don’t even remember having pansies last year…lol!
I look forward to seeing what happens with them
When anything new appeared in my mam’s garden she used to say it was a present from the birds 
I often plant bulbs and then forget what they are! This little beauty is showing her face at the minute and she is all on her own … any idea what she is called folks?
I think it’s a snowdrop Carol, quite late for snowdrops but i think your in the cooler north?
Thanks Chris and Tina I’ll put them on my list , love some beautiful blossom in the spring.
Aha it does looks like a snowdrop. I saw on Gardner’s World that there are many varieties of snowdrops. Good call Sue @SueTrevor and yes I am in the cold north tho not so cold today.
I’ve always done this for my runner beans to start them off in the greenhouse , plant straight into the soil as the cardboard breaks down .
If its taller than your average snowdrop then its a summer snowflake (they are about 12 inches tall snowdrops are about half that).
You learn something new every day! I’ve never heard of a summer snowflake, thanks Sasha @SashaGarrett. It is very pretty and I will collect the flowers when they are finished and see if I can grow some from seed.
