Fear not @Perki your garden is really beautiful with or without a white covered wood chipper. It bothered me not one iota. Too many other lovely, lovely things to look at
@Perki, thank you for the full picture, it's beautiful. Even if you could do something about the bags, why would you, to look better to strangers on the Internet? I am quite sure your garden is a paradise with or without them. Aiming for perfection is a perfect recipe for getting mad, and social media culture heavily promotes that.
What a beautiful little Rhodo edhelka, it really is quite dainty. Are they difficult to source, I have never seen one in our GC as far as I know.
A few pictures from our gardenOur first water lily flower, so beautiful but such a short life.I have just planted out a couple of Castor Oil Ricinis plants, grown from seed (bean), and will reach a good 4 - 5 foot tall by late summer.A Red Admiral enjoying the Pyracantha flowersMasquerade climbing rose with large flowered clematisOur pond with beautiful reed in flower, creeping Jenny and Cooky Geum along the side, and plenty of blanket weed in the waterOur wildlife haven, yesterday I watched a family of Wrens taking flight for the first time, the sound of their tentative tweeting was the best music.
Lovely @Guernsey Donkey2, that trellis looks great and the rubble pile and poppies looks lovely as well as being a haven for wildlife by the look of it. (I'm aware that sounds ironic but I mean it!)
@Guernsey Donkey2 I bought it from rhododendrons.co.uk (Millais Nurseries) as a completely unplanned purchase while buying a different rhododendron I just had to have it. Unfortunately, they have it out of stock at the moment.
More photos, but it's amazing what can change in a week at this time of year...
First roses starting to bloom, can't remember what variety this is annoyingly, but it always performs well, despite a complete lack of attention
This cistus is a mass of new flowers every day, then they all fall off by the evening
Campion coming to an end now in the wildlfower areas, but the oxeye daisies among others should start taking over in the next few days
Am so pleased that the foxgloves and allium have finally coincided this year after a couple of failed attempts, albeit only just. Hoping the Allium white cloud I planted last autumn will give the same 'balls and spires' effect with the white delphiniums and monkshood into the summer.
This border on the left has always been a problem for me, its deep dry shade under conifers in the main, then was flattened by a falling eucalyptus last spring so started from scratch with ferns and white flowers, monkshood, anenome, geraniums, foxgloves, pulmonaria and the like. It looked better than ever before by last summer, and has now filled out nicely so although it doesnt look much I'm really pleased as its been one of those 'I must do something with that' areas for years
