    @Anthony Rogers , I have had a message from you in my email inbox, but I am sorry to say I don't know where it is on the forum.
    Anyway, to answer your question, my garden is in a dreadful state at the moment. I haven't been able to do anything to it since last summer because my other half has been ill and all my time has been taken up in caring for her.
    I hope to spend more time in the garden this year now that she isn't too bad again (very disabled and in a wheelchair though, and needing help with most tasks)
    I do have some bulbs in pots by the front door, and some in hanging baskets...

              Welcome to the forum!

              As you can see by my name, I'm a number of growing zones away from offering helpful info but I can see by your pictures that I will very much enjoy your posts. :)

                What a wonderful, colourful and charming space you have created (in 9 years? Barvo!). As soon as I saw it, it put me in mind of @ARMANDII and his style
                Precisely what I was thinking, Our Mandy: aye!

                Sorry to hear about your wife's challenges, I hope she finds peace and enjoyment in the garden you've created; it's a magical place.

                Wishing you a great year ahead in your little piece of paradise :thumbsup:

                    Thank you all for your friendly comments.

                    @"M" Beryl loves the garden and always did things in it. She still sits by a table to repot 'her' Fuchsias and sow some seeds :smile:

                      And I'm sure she still derives much pleasure from it too. Which is good to hear!
                      Did she make the macramé hanger? I make the odd one or two myself (as well as other macramé items).
                      I love how the fuchsias are "hers" :heehee: Which is her favourite? Which seeds is she sowing for this year?

                      Hi Michael a belated :sign0016:to GC, I've been so busy with one thing and another I am only just now catching up.

                      Your garden looks amazing, lots of colours and no doubt nature friendly. I've just planted up an area and I really hope it turns out to be a lovely as yours :wub2:
