by end of next year the lawn will be gone adn be gravel pathways.. i will have only 2 small circular lawns left.. the otherisde in the shaded part will be all barked..
the main path you can see is about to start on its re generation.. and either side will be borders which will join upto the round ones you can see.. i will add pictures as we go..
Gardeningfantic - what a super garden you have - I love the features: the old tree stump, fencing, pathways and the circular patch of shrubs and flowers set in the lawn. I expect you had to weigh up losing the lawn to gravel or bark against the labour saved in not having to mow so much.
By the way, that iris (is it?) is spectacular. I wouldnt have thought it easy to find many flowers that display such deep shades of purple.
There're still only 5 peony blooms of the ten out properly but the morning light was too good to miss for these shots. Unfortunately, the iPad can't seem to cope with the glare of strong sunlight but the colour is still impressive:
Saved this shot til last...
All is well so far... Submit

(Typing this after trying about A dozen different ways of editing a 'rotate' but this picture refuses to reorientate to 'right way up') but the colours still good!
Sorry Bev - best not look; it's a bit like watching a slow car crash - fascinating while it's happening but the after effects are not good.
Birdy, re photos. I drag and drop my photos from desktop and get a lot of gobbledegook(?) too. I have found that if I completely mark the goobledegook and delete it right to the end, I end up with the vertical curser signal in the middle. I then drag and drop the photo onto that again and submit reply and hey presto, it's in. Have to do a new one for each photo, but at least it works.

Beautiful pics fanatic. Love the iris, well worth the wait I would say.
