New to the forum & gardening. Planted out my pots with annuals & a few fuschias for summer. Need advice on what to plant now for the autumn/winter/spring please.
Also, what do I do with the petunias that I have cut back, that look sorry for themselves but hopefully will come again that are in the pots! Can I 'double up'?

Autumn is the time to plant those Spring flowering Bulbs like Tulips, Hyacinths, Daffodils and Crocus.

I have petunias that I have cut back as well. I am leaving them be. They will refill the pot in no time.

Thanks for the advice cue_chik!
Do I just push them into the same pot as the petunias /fuschias are? Is there anything I can put in over the winter?

Im not positive, but I think you can plant those bulbs right into the ground in your climate (unlike here in the subtropics, where the ground doesnt get quite cold enough, we keep them in the fridge over winter and then plant out in the spring)
