    I will have to look at the logistics of getting a hose from the water point from which they water the wicket to the area I will be working on 
    Will try to take a look maybe later or tomorrow

    @Keith-16 Hope someone can help.
    I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.

    Good Morning GardenerSuze
    I hope so 
    I have taken a quick look at some of the things planted way back 
    I cannot identify them all 
    There are some Euphorbias Lavender an ornamental grass cotoneasters sedums agapanthus euonymus a conifer tight up against a wall Montbretia 
    A Climber which used to climb up a trellis which has disintegrated 
    The whole scenario looks tired and “scruffy” 
    Bit of a poisoned chalice really 😃

    This might help you re posting photos Keith.

    Don't stress too much about them coming out sideways if you don't know how to make them smaller. It's a forum "glitch" that's been going on for ages, but there are some clever members who are able to put them the right way up. (Not me though).

    Bit of a mixed bag planted there at the moment , l can see your point. I wonder if it might be worth going for the type of shrubs known as "car park planting" because you tend to see them everywhere in, er, car parks.
    There's a reason they're so ubiquitous,  they are tough and don't require a lot of maintenance once they've established.
    l will give it some more thought  :)

    Thanks for the link 
    Just been past as I was coming back from town 
    Found a watering point hiding behind a Buddliea  Black Night 
    Couple of hostas in another small bed 
    Everlasting Geranium in another bed 
    yes I need tough and low maintenance but with colour too or evergreen

    Somehow managed to attach a few of the photos but not all but I think you will get the general drift of what I am dealing with 
    very sunny at Thad moment so most of the beds will enjoy sun for many hours from the east before it disappears behind the buildings in the afternoon
