I'm rather lucky, residing in a terraced cottage, built c1840, extremely long, 200 ft plus, but narrow, around 25 ft. Garden is level with first floor, so sitting room is upstairs, and can see garden all year round. When we moved here 1994, the so called garden was just a tatty lawn. Now landscaped it, with veg plot incl glasshouse, east end, with 9 water butts. shed central area has 5 butts, and floral area, with some veg is nearer the home.
Whenever it rains, the water from the roof of the house, now fills my large pond via pipework, any excess goes into the man made bog garden.
I use upside down planted wine bottles, (recycling) along the path and to make various higher levels within floral areas, from all the hanging baskets compost over the years, (which needed to go somewhere) and amazing the various ferns etc, which have just grown inside them.
Hope you enjoy these images as much as I do in the garden.
i have certainly enjoyed them sky runner along with all the other pictures on this thread, everybody's garden so different but all inspiring thank you all
Lovely skyrunner- you've worked very hard to achieve all that
little ann - never seen green bars or pale pink on Miss Bateman- pretty sure it's always just white. Lovely anyway whatever variety it is - all clematis are really aren't they!
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Just watched Gardeners World and thought I post a couple of plants they featured tonight. I'd just taken these after the heavy rain we had today. I had 2 nearly empty 100 litre water butts at the weekend. Tonight they're overflowing. Iris sibirica, and Geum Mrs Bradshaw providing a good companion to the slightly drab Oriental Poppy Patty's Plum - complete with rain drops.
