Pieris?

i would recomend them for lack of maintanance.they are tidy and it gives you even more of a three dimensional garden.there good if you have dogs.i wouldnt use wood unless its old used railway sleepers.there full of oil but all wood rots much quicker near soil

Hi Truds, yes raised beds are the best way of controlling your soil content, it's a modern way of having cold frames, as you can make a cover with Polythene sheets instead of glass.
If you have already made a plan of your own, go for it, if not get back to me and I will help you make one.

It is in a pot, i'm going to repot it in a bigger one this weekend. see if that works...cheers

hi..this plant looks very good, I have one of these but i cant get it to grow, had it about 3yrs,, do you feed it with anything also do you know what they are called??..other pics are great too mate...
cheers

What wonderful water lilies.
Excellent photo.

so nice to see a nice family pic

Oh what a colorful mixture and healthy too. Good job Truds.

That is really pretty and colorful.

The last 3 days as been quite nice, we had a heavy shower late afternoon, but in all its not been bad.We have got strong winds today, but its sunny although we are suppose to have rain later today.

So do we, Chris! We had a dry day today, for a change, the first one this week! Sadly, it'll also be the last as the forecast is R**N for us tomorrow - and lots of it too. Ah me. SIGH!

Oh dear everyone in UK seems to be singing the same song especially the Irish brethren. I guess we would all prefer a mixture of what other folks get. Here in Hungary we would like it cooler with some showers a few times a week (preferably at night). This is the challenge of gardening we all seem to have some extreme weather to cope with one way or another. Well it does give everyone something to talk about. I guess we should be grateful thyat we are not having earthquakes, hurricanes, typhoons etc. I expect you will all get a beautiful Autumn. I certainly hope you do.

Hope some sunshine reaches you soon Truds- Guess what- we have had a whole day today withour R***!
Sorry I can't write the word in full otherwise I might tempt it to return!
Try to cheer up- and all best wishes.

It's nice to share Truds. Sorry to hear it's still raining with you. I'll try and send some more pleasant weather to you from here. lol. But I think we're going to have rain tomorrow aswell.

I'm hoping to visit a Yellow Book garden in London on Sunday. It belongs to a 'professional plantsman' and was one of those featured last year on the 'Open Gardens' series on BBC2

Nice looking shed!

Looks really good!

Heavy rain here too! I am praying for no rain, for Saturday, as I am having a BBQ, got about 10 guests coming.
