    there are smaller ramblers that will grow up a fence. I have just planted Phyllis Bide and Crimson Showers in same situation.

    Hi Lavender Lady, I must say your garden is beatiful! I am at the other end with my garden as I am just starting out. I would love a garden with a similar theme to yours. Would you have any recommendations for plants to start out with?

  • Wow Lavender Lady your garden looks great, and a huge transformation. You should be very proud.. 

  • Looks absolutely beautiful!

    Hi some great pics and comments L-L we just had to replace the decking at the bottom of the garden due to rot!

     AFTER

    I've been getting inspiration from here but at mo' have just attached a Wisteria to bottom right corner to see how it does.

     

  • Great progress, Budlia63. Let us know how the project goes on. The great thrill of gardneing is seeing how it develops from year to year and the wonderful greening of the environment that is created. I'm feeling very much inspired. My problem is that my OH has to be persuaded to do jobs and tends to alter them half-way through without thinking about the consequences. Perhaps I should utter some dire threats before he starts the next phase. Poor soul - he is bored stiff by gardening.

    Yes my OH doesn't really get involved unless I ask for something he's learning not to interfere as I'm quite specific with my ideas once I decide what i want where!  i have extended the rockery/alpines/scree are in front of the deck and I will allow it to develop as I see what it needs.  I'm all for living with it and getting inspiration unexpectedly image I am enjoying the dry weather at the mo' and wandering around trimming back and pulling up weeds do you like this time of year in the garden with the anticipation of what's to come?

  • Lavender Lady, your garden is absolutely stunning.  I am hoping to start a tranformation with my garden this and if it ends up looking anything vaugely like yours I will be more than please.  Thanks for sharing it.  image

  • Truly inspirational. Thanks
