All of the above. I've been working on my garden for nearly four years and it looks no better than when I started. However, it supports wildlife, mostly birds and invertebrates, and occasionally produces something worth eating. (Last summer's raspberries were scrumptious and mother was full of praise for the beetroot. The rhubarb's good, and reliable.) And I enjoy every minute I spend in it.
My garden is a well balanced, carefully thought out dream and could pose for fancy magazines.
I voted a as I do put a lot of time and effort in and it is my passion. Not that I think it could be in a glossy magazine 😄 And b and c wasn't true of mine at all 😊
Mine is like an explosion in a paint factory, I like it like that.
It's the only way @Lyn. My planned bits are usually just ok and the bits I shove in willy nilly till I think of something better are sometimes gorgeous. Works for me!
My garden looks as if my whole family jumped out of the car, put whatever they fancied in the trolley then rushed home and planted it.
Mine tends to sort it’s self out really, in the Spring and early summer it’s all pinks and lilac colours, with delphiniums foxgloves and a few others, then in the late summer and autumn it’s reds, yellows and orange, it just seems to work on it’s own like that.

None of them I'm afraid! Nothing in the garden in Oct when we took over! A tumble down dry stone wall,and a dozen overgrown Leylandii. So veering towards buying cheap perennials,and plenty of climbers! One dead straight path,no grass!!
The whole truth is an instrument that can only be played by an expert.

Toooo many variables for me. Flowering time, colours, height, conditions...the reason I play jenga and hate chess!!!
