    Choisya, cotoneaster, aquelia (maybe), a wild buddleija...not sure what that thing middle back is..

    Middle thing at the back is a Euphorbia (caper spurge)  watch the milky sap doesn't get on your skin. 


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

    In addition to daisy's collection I can see a Lonicera nitida probably ' Baggeson's Gold', Euphorbia lathyris, a cornus coming in from the left and a bramble.

    Weeding tomorrow please, the bramble and all that grassimage

    when i took over it, it was fall of grass and weeds and all sorts so i cleared it and know these plants have appeared.

    I did plant some lavender seeds there back in april, so left it till i knew. 

    I also put some sunflower seeds in but i dont think i have had much luck with them.

     

    This is my 1st year a have a garden. I live in a ground floor flat so only have small borders. Unfortunately the council have yet to cut the grass.

     

    Any advice to make this area better apart from weeding. How can i identify bramble/weeds?

    its a south facing garden.

     

    I like plants with lots of flowers, which will give colour most of the year.

    That's the Choisya.  Judging from the colour, possibly Choisya ternata 'Sundance'.

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    That one is a choisya

    I just typed screeds and it all disappeared somewhere.

    I would just keep the shrubs and weed all else. Then introduce plants rather than seeds unless they're cheap and cheerful annuals. Perennial seeds are too slow to compete with weeds in the garden.

    The one at the back with pointy horizontal leaves is a euphorbia. Watch that one they leak a white sap when you damage them (easy) and it burns your skin
