My little garden (sort of)Not to be left out after all the wonderful posts about peoples gardens, I thought I'd show you a little bit of mine. This garden is a work in progress, and we have only managed to start on it this summer as it took the first 6 months of living here to have it cleared out and re-grassed. When we first moved here, it was overgrown, had bits of furniture and broken kids toys, pieces of cars, knives, wood, oil and anything else you could think of all over the place. My OH dug out the little flower bed for me as it is nice and easy for me to get to and not have to bend over too much. The reason around the playhoue is all messy is that OH put down the slabs last night and put the playhouse back on it in the dark! But considering what it was like, it is coming along nicely. Unfortunatley all my lovely dahlias have now been dug up for the winter so there isn't much colour now, but I will post pics now and again to show you any progress we make. Any suggestions on some nice shrubs to plant will be welcomed

Thats lovely. Really nice, are you planning on leaving the shrubs there forever - if so may I suggest a Sundance,bright yellow leaves with white flowers in Spring and a lovely scent when brushed against They appear to grow in the majority of soils and conditions. |

Looking very nice! As to shrubs, I'm personally fond of azaleas, nandina is lovely all Winter with red berries, and Winter jasmine is covered with yellow blooms very early in the Spring, earlier (and I think more graceful) than forsythia. The latter two aren;t that fussy about soil; azaleas like it acidic. |

Yes I want permanent shrubs for the corners of my garden and along the edges of my path. I like the sounds of yours and Kazz's suggestions DM so I will have a look the next time I go up to my garden store. Thank you! |

What a great little garden. I love your garden ornaments but OH doesn't like ornaments in the garden but he's been talked, or should that be nagged, by Louise into letting her have a wheelbarrow shaped planter in the Spring. |
