Perchy your garden is lovely.

I am off to bed now to sulk



I bet you are envious of the chicken fencing {rofwl} It may have been better if the fencing didn't range from steel to green to brown!

It's a pretty garden :-D A family I work with have the most beautiful garden - it's quite small, but lots of little areas and cottage garden type planting, really pretty - they have mirrors on the walls surrounded by climbing plants, so that it looks as though the garden goes on further than it does. Your pictures remind me of their garden.

It looks lovely - i was only thinking today how lush my garden is at the moment - the rain is a pain in the neck but it never ceases to amaze me how fast everything grows at this time of year - it's as if you blink and suddenly there's a jungle out there :-D

No, you can't, because little potters get really cross if you do that, and then they send their friends, the big potters, around to beat you.

Frilly roses, "Angel" they smell beautiful, they are in the baby run

Your garden is beautiful Percy, you have the knack for choosing the right things to maximise your space, and I love your planters :-D
