    Hi Oldtimer. As the others have said - if you can get some pix on here it will help with some suggestions. Start a new thread with a suitable title like 'looking for ideas for front garden' or something similar, add a bit of extra info with the type of soil,  colours you prefer, aspect and so on, and then you'll get loads of ideas image

     

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Hi Daniel, Have you any idea's for a plot of land in the middle of the mediterranean?Have just bought a rather large plot with olives and vines. They are manageable but I will need a lot of help with types of vegetables and fruit to grow. Maybe a suggested plan of action wouldn't come amiss, as it will be a retirement project so am looking forward to any suggestions...I mean any regards Napo

  • Yeah !!!!!!

    Hi,

    Where are the border design ideas from Gardeners world magazine on the Gardeners world website ?

    Hi Tim, the magazine and the website run 'in tandem' but they do not necessarily contain the same articles/information.

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.





  • Hello,

    I have a south west facing garden in a coastal area of south Wales.  Pretty exposed too.  I love Kniphofia (particularly red hot poker) but am looking for suggestions for complimentary plants - preferably evergreen to add to the 'Tropical' feel of the garden.

    Any suggestions gratefully received.

    Kind regards

    Karen

  • I've got a "hot border" and have Kniphofia in that.   To compliment I have:

    great burnett

    penstemon

    lupins

    potentilla

    astilbe

    heleniums

    monarda

    achillea

    persicaria

    knautia

    sedum

    primula vialli

    and lots more besides.   We're also very exposed and get some serious snow in winter so it's got to be pretty tough to survive
