DOTTYDAISYS SPRING BLOG 2.

it looks beautiful, a real credit to you

You have both done so much work on your beautiful garden. I love everything you've done! :-)) What is this "Cloud pruning" you mentioned?

All looking gorgeous - I particularly like your little crazy paving red/yellow path :)

i love your garden its soo pretty already, cant wait to see it in its summer glory :)

Looking good DD - well done!

you have a beautiful garden DDaisy - very well worked :))))))))))))) the first photo so beautiful !!

Have to say same as everyone you have a really lovely garden

Love all the little paths, makes it look like it goes on for miles!
Your planting is so clever :-)

Just beautiful , Dd !

ONE WORD ONLY: PERFECTION.

You're so inspiring DD. Love your garden.

Its lovely Dd, I like the pathways, you have to take a walk to see whats hidden away, I like a garden whereby you have to walk around to discover its secrets as opposed to one thats all on show....

A slow Sigh Dd, your garden is so interesting, i want to see more, im going to try cloud pruning one day, i dont have a clue where to start tho :) Dawnsaunt hit the nail right on the head, So Inspiring, I love it ..

DD! I am so pleased you put these on! I have been waiting ages to see more photos of your garden. It's absolutely fantastic...really really wonderful. I wish I lived nearer, I would definitely come and visit. As for your bedding plant dilemma....might I be so bold as to suggest a beautiful lime green heuchera for your lady's hair. It would look amazing and there is quite a bit of shade there for it by the look of her. That way, you wouldn't have to keep changing it either. She's gorgeous btw. I love your Lutyens bench as well, the colour is fabulous. And the bird house, and the crazy paving, and the cloud pruning...there is so much interest!! :)))) Made me feel happy!

What a pleasure as always to look round your garden Angela , perfect in every way . :o))

Your garden is beautiful and so full of interesting plants. I love all the different parts and paths leading around. I would definately come to your open day if I lived nearer.

Looks fab Dd.....love the attention to detail to every part of it. Wow your Ceanothus is out already! We had friends in Spain who used to cloud-prune their olive trees, I love to see it done.

Really lovely garden Dotty....:>)

Lovely blog, lovely garden, nothing more to add, its just great DD.

Dd its lovely....loving the colourful path..:-)

Thank you all so much for all your kind comments,I would love you to visit our garden what fun we would have, and I can certainly vouch for the cakes!!
To answer a few queries about Cloud pruning which is a Japanese method of training trees or shrubs into shapes resembling clouds(know as Nawsaki meaning garden tree) it takes many years of patience, and a lot of luck (not cutting off the wrong branch!!) but great fun.
Karen great idea re face planter using a Heuchera, at the moment I am growing a very pretty Nemesia blue white and yellow, which should look ok.
OH is still mending broken fences, but is slowly getting on top of it. Thanks again for looking.

Looking good DD!

allways enjoy hun .............. its lovely !!

A garden to be proud of DD so much of interest. Going on favourites so that I can study it in more detail.

You have worked hard Dd. your garden sure is a credit to you, that first photo is fab. Pure loveliness.

Stunning garden love everything in it - it is so pretty and you must have worked so hard to get it to look so good. Wish I could get to visit it too. I am sure you will get lots of visitors to wander around when you open up. Hope you have fun and that some GoYers manage to get to see you in your beautiful garden it is so lovely. :o)

You have an absolutely beautiful garden Dottydaisy2, love it so much!

Lovely photos Dotty and nice to see some different angles. My favourite is pic 2 ( Want your pot! Lol) and the Mosaic style crazy paving, an idea I may have pinch after the move. Did you do it yourself?

Thanks one and all for the lovely encouragement, Annella OH did the paving, it matches some more near the house.Michaella thank you, like you we are out every day doing something, managed to get a rose planted between the showers....Olive you would be made very welcome, glad you like it.
Thanks Gm and Stroller, Cris and Nariz.

Inspirational as always. I'm amazed at how lively the gardens look this early in the season.

Thanks Becks it is all the rain we are having now, better late than never !!

Sorry DD that should have said 'may have to pinch'. You should rent your Oh out, you could make a fortune from him for weekends ;O))))

Stunning Garden.

Annella what a great idea, I might just do that lol
Many thanks Jem....

so beautifull DD, love looking at your garden :o)))

Thanks San really kind of you.....

I love your first pic too Dd, still drooling, and I always wanted a dovecote. Looking forward to your summer garden:-)

Love your garden Dotty :^)

Love the path and the wall pot is fab! Such an interesting garden so much to take in. So lovely to be able to take virtual walks around members gardens on here and what beautiful ones there are and yours is a credit to you.

BA thanks, I feel the first pic is very flattering it is as if the garden has been airbrushed......
Daylily many thanks..
Maezymare that is very kind of you, thanks there lots of lovely gardens on here.

Dotty - your garden has had some changes made to it since OH and I visited at the end of May last year! ... I have just looked back on the blogs from that time and have to say that pic 7 on this blog could be from another garden! ... No hedge or little 'sentry box' shed in view ... pleased the Dovecote remains ... garden looking gorgeous as ever ... :o)

Shirley thanks, just trying to improve some of the ugly bits, the Dovecote wont go we like that where it is, although that has been moved once, when the shrubs have grown and cover some of the fence up, it will look a lot better, if there is anything still standing after todays rain and wind!! how are you keeping these days?

Have sent a PM . . .
