Thanks Fairygirl, yes it is my intention to have it covered in climbers, but I am trying my best not to put anything else on at the moment, i tend to get carried away by starting and finishing things immediately, and then wanting to change again as its not quite what I want.
I enjoyed making the pergola, i thought about buying a kit, but that would have cost at least twice as much as just buying the wood and making my own. the decking its on, is already raised about 2 foot above ground level, which for my 90 year old 4"11' neighbour must seem like a sky scrapper, its about 10 feet from his side of the fence!
Great Pergola Singy - all that planting potential !!
Pleased with my late summer colour this year:
And the one below is the bit the deer can get to - they don't like Rudbeckia Indian Summer (although they love munching Rudbeckia Goldstrum - they are pretty fussy !)
It's climbing rose Mme Alfred Carrière growing over a pillar about 2 1/2 metres tall that forms an arch with another pillar and a beam over some stone steps.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

Looking really good Singy. Pergola's very impressive!
Are you putting more planting on the pergola? It's a great opportunity for climbers isn't it. Pix were fine when I enlarged
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

All taken early this morning.
My garden has a new flush of colour with the autumn flowers, such as Michaelmas daisies and sedums.
The cyclamen are coming out too.
Very pretty Lizzie - is that a rose growing over the tree stump in the first picture?

Here is a pic earlier this year.
Someone, ? Mrs. Garden, on Morning Forkers asked for Garden Gallery to be pushed up. Isn't it time Verdun took some more photos?
Not a great picture but cosmos purity white and salvia mystic flowers are still flowering their socks off (yesterday).
