So am I right in saying that if there alot of perennials in a couple of years I wont be spendin all my time workin in the garden...I can spend it sitting in it?
...well, sort of Oakley Witch, but even perennials need some attention occasionally... especially if you grow something like Miscanthus, which I find needs digging up [hard work] and dividing [even harder work] every 3 years or so, otherwise the clump spreads out too much and dies off from the centre.... apart from things like that, I suppose it can be a doddle...
thanks for your reply Verdun.... yes I can see lots of different colours in the foliage... nice red Phormium there centre shot... as long as we have plenty of variety, that's what I like to see too... that way you never get bored... I suppose you must have..what... 1/4 acre going on there..? something like that..? I didn't notice a sitting out area, presumably you have this tucked away here and there... I like a bench or two in sheltered or sunny spots... and a patio table... it looks as though one is always ready for tea...
edit... I've just noticed a gazebo or similiar in the corner there of one shot... so that's nice...
...lots of hard work in the early years Verdun, as it is for most of us... it's paid off here quite beautifully in your own way, and obviously a very lovely spot for you and those around you... I hope... I imagined that you must have a little more than what we are seeing here, as you have confirmed.. that privacy is to be respected...
perhaps we'll see some close up shots of a favourite plant or two, later on..... that would be nice...
Lovely Verdun. Wish they would enlarge. Only just seen this post. How did I miss it? We've waited so long for these photos, but you did send some once before. We knew you were an expert.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
