Some really nice pictures of really nice gardens , you must be proud of those big colourful beds
Created a bed in front of a real old Hawthorn hedge so I could get to the Hedge I put a bark path down then replaced it with a gravel path , it works well for me
Thank you BM. I have spent this season working to regain some semblance of control in my garden after 2 years of neglect arising from mechanical problems requiring surgery on my neck and then both feet. There's still a long way to go but I have been doing my best to introduce more colour to the borders and have been pleased with the results, especially with the hotter colours starting in August and lasting till November.
Lyn - could be a treecreeper, although they're browner in the back rather than cream. I used to have one visiting regularly when I lived round the corner from my present house. He used to run up and down the sycamore at the front gate.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I spent ages with the birdbook this morning and that's all I can come up with Fairy. But they are slightly smaller. .maybe something has been blown in by the winds.
Oooops Busy that's because I was trying to catch up and just looked at the pics
ObelIxx I have just had a lovely time looking through your pictures, so amazing, you must be so proud, fantastic Hope you are recovering well from your operations xx

He was a light brown, not as dark as a sparrow but bigger, sort of fat and very sleek, pure white breast, and he was running up and down the old post. I have never seen one in this garden before. That is what he is, thank you FG
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.

Happy gardening everybody
Obelixx, Busy and Lyn, I can't find the words to describe how blooming gorgeous your big beds are but they are!!
I bet you are well inspired Neil and can't wait to see pics of yours in the making, love before and after pics

One day I hope it will be as vibrant as Lyn's and as exhuberant but quietly controlled as Busy's but the woodland and pond beds still need a major overhaul - http://s211.photobucket.com/user/Obelixx_be/library/1407%20garden?sort=2&page=1 .
BM, can't claim credit for the photo I posted. That is Sussex Prairie Garden, the one I was talking about in my post.
