I live in Germany and I would like to know is it the time to plant flowers and trees in my garden?

I've been living in Germany for half a year now and the wheater hasn't been nice but now it's getting normal like about 19 Celcius but it can get windy so all i want to know is it the time to plant? Also i have pots on the side of my balcony and hanging from it so nothing Big! What could I plant?

I'm British living in Germany and I never know when or what to plant.





But my neighbours have started, the weather is getting better (in fact it's been really mild this winter, be warned this was nothing!)





Try herbs and perennials on your balcony (so long as you have space to bring them in during the winter, maybe you have a Kellerraum to keep them in). Sadly the choice of herbs in German garden centres is quite meagre, but there are some specialist centres which are better stocked.





Again, trees will need to come indoors during the winter, but a Marguerite or an Olive will look lovely surrounded by other plants.
Reply:Yes for trees...plants...depends on what kind...frost tender ones like Fuchsias...Geraniums..Petunias...you need to wait unless you plan on planting them in pots which you can take inside when it could freeze at night. But there are allot of other plants mostly perennials which you could plant now..I live in north east part of Bavaria
Reply:the best idea is get a garden plant book for the bookshops or library if you have one that will give you bags of information if not watch your neighbours then you cant go wrong ask them and see if they will help you.
