The purpose of the cottage garden was to provide food. It contained livestock, herbs, fruits and vegetables. Flowers were an optional extra and tended to be ones that had some practical value, such as seasoning food or repelling bugs.
William,
Welcome to All Things Plants

Do you have a garden?
I don't think I have seen a zone 1 before what are your growing conditions?
