    This isn't my garden, but a nearby War memorial which I'd mentioned  before because they have a bed of Hackenochloa in front of it and it's beautiful on a breezy day - looks like a golden version of the sea. I took this yesterday when I was out and, although it was quite a calm day, you can see what a lovely grass it is. I don't like the surrounding bedding but that's just me -  the parks dept. always do it for the summer. image

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



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

    Beaus Mum. The hydrangea was a gift last summer and I overwintered  it very carefully as they can fail here.  Mild winter and a wrapping of bubble wrap helped.

    fairy girl. I have never heard of havanotchichhchc? Looks nice, is it easy and hardy or is it an annual?

    Fairygirl, such a lovely photo image you can understand why planting grasses in drifts is recommended can't you. Oh, for more garden space.

    Lovely, Ighten. How is your house coming on?

    Kitchen finished and staircase going in (pretty much the last jobs) just the old pointing to remove and replace outside. Then the scaffolding can finally come down.

     Forgot this pic of  verbena bonariensis. I quite like it - Others don't and say its a weed. I think I should have nipped it out a lot more - we came back from holiday and it was 10ft tall in places still it helps hides the oil tank.
