Wisteria (PITA). Any big trees (as I have a small garden). Beds of a thousand tulips (because I'm not going to plant them all, but they look stunning). A wall of dark red virginia creeper (because it needs full sun to turn red). Peonies. Tithonia (lovely but entirely wrong colour). Gorgeous masses of pink roses that flower all summer long (because I don't do pink).
I thought this was sposed to be "lovely but in someone else's garden, not just stuff you don't like My friend has a wisteria and montana on his double-fronted Victorian red brick villa, they look fantastic for a few weeks in spring, then he spends the rest of the year trying to stop them from blocking out the light! I also wouldn't give roses houseroom but I think a dog rose growing up a tree is a beautiful thing

Cats are lovely in someone else's garden. I don't dislike them.
When it is a choice though of having the neighbours' cats in our garden, or a plethora of native wildlife that helps keep pests off my food, gives me hours of enjoyment and pleasure and a sense of all being well with the world, I'll take the wildlife.

So no change.
Cats.
