I'm so disorganised, I never even get as far as a wish list
. I'm afraid I do exactly what you shouldn't and buy plants on impulse and then find somewhere to put them.
A greenhouse.
Maybe next year
“It's still magic even if you know how it's done.”
A T . Rex
not the dinosaur
A Tetrapanax papyrifer "Rex"
Its to hide the disgrace of a pond. Actually I could do with a new pond liner too.
my wish list only has one wish......... someone to prepare and paint all ten 15 pane glass doors so i can then make my greenhouse out of them, such a daunting task, even masking all the glass up will take forever
having just got back from holiday - I'd like an Hibiscus and the required weather to go with it ! ?
Thanks aym
The landscapers done a great job and friends and neighbours have shifted the 20T topsoil from my drive, 200ft down the garden and into the borders today (while I was at work too)
but now it's over to me......
I'm sure with some advice from the helpful and knowledgeable folk on this forum it'll look even better when it's all planted and g/house in place
So my wish list for next year is mostly getting my new area all planted-up with help from the folk here.
Just got a pair of nice big wood compost bins with lids.
Will go and choose a 6x4 shed in the week so I can accumulate even more clutter, and g/house installed on 24th
I'll be back soon for some help
And, I want to start to create a blue and white border in the main bit of the garden, so blue and white plants on the list for 2017 too

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
The best neighbours I could wish for and that goes for most of the people down the road.
As for the jackpot, not quite, but Mum died in March after a few years of dementia. When I'd visit her in the care home she loved to talk of the days when she was evacuated and worked in the huge tomato houses in the war. We agreed that when she'd gone I'd have the end of the garden all done nicely with a proper g/house, so that's what I'm doing - it's Mum's Garden
The plan is to sprinkle some of her ashes in the tomato bed (the oblong of soil in the middle) - she better not kill them!

Can I suggest you add touches of yellow to your blue and white border?
Each to his own, but I just those three colours together.
Nice idea aym - she always liked Gardener's Delight - so that'll have to feature too and it's a fave of mine.
I used to tease her using the phrase 'when you're down there looking up at us...' she had a great sense of humour - and just as well
