Hello,
I have joined here to get help and advice.
I am a total beginner with a tiny patio garden which gets lots of heat but not too much direct sunlight.
I am looking forward to hearing your tips and advice to get this place blooming.
Cheers,
Benjamin

Benjamin, can I suggest you take some photos of your garden and upload them to this message board and give us an idea as to what you would like to achieve?

Hello Sean, thank you for the suggestion and here goes.
This is a view from our living room onto the patio.
Although the patio doesn't get much direct sun it is very hot in the summer.
Direct sunlight does hit the front right in the morning and front left in the afternoon. The back wall gets no direct sunlight at all.
In each corner we have something established.
To the back left a Red Robin.
Back right a jasmine.
Front left is a honeysuckle.
Front right is a xxxx rose.
Front left and right I hope will one day trail over the sliding doors. They are on their way.
I would like to be able to compliment these established plants with pots of colour through the year.
I have some good sized pots to fill and want to buy a couple of taller ones for a terraced effect at the back.
It all looks a little 'bitty' at the moment and I want it to feel more resplendent.
I shall be on here asking for advice rather a lot I should imagine!
Happy gardening.
