      You have a lovely Garden and the view is so uninterrupted you are lucky.
      I grow what i like, i look at the label and see what it says about light / shade and pop it in where it would be best suited.
      I hope you enjoy filling your Garden with your favourite things and get lots of enjoyment from all your hard work.
      Good luck

          That's a lovely view Twinkle. I think the most important thing is just to be growing something that you like. Doing that made me take an interest, and that lead to learning more.

            Thankyou so much, it is a lovely large garden, and I do have some Azalea's, Rhodendron and several Roses too, just maybe I could find something fairly tall with lots of colour as well that would add more colour, also I am thinking of some Hanging Baskets, I really do like them, but in the past I have just bought them ready made, mainly due to work, but I am part time now, through choice, and I would like to learn a bit more, maybe also getting a little greenhouse..
            Oh I have all these plans...:sunny:

                  :) Yes I have plenty of ideas, but when I see anyones garden from afar I so wish I could ask what their flowers are called.
                  I can't really go into a garden centre and say can I have a plant with spikey lilac flowers, oh and a white one with a lemon centre.
                  So at the moment my ideas are just ideas.
                  Learning so much here though and my little note book is filling up nicely.:)

                      Lovely looking natural garden there Twinkle, I love the fact that you have fields/countryside at the bottom as opposed to buildings or warehouses like many of us :thumb:

                      Bet you get plenty of wilflife coming in too?

                        Hello Pixie, Penny and Bilbo675.

                        Yes there is a lot of information here for sure Pixie, when I was on the other day I took so many notes and I have learned a lot already, but of course there is a lot more to learn, and I will be asking once I come across something that most likely is known already here.

                        Such a shame that your white rose too had died off Penny, I thought maybe I had trimmed it back maybe a bit too much, but I don't think so, but I will buy another one as soon as I can.

                        It is a lovely view, thankyou Bilbo675 and at times there has been the odd Deer, Foxes too, I hear several owls and many Squirrels as well.
                        At least I know that beyond my garden nothing will be built there.
                        Well, no word yet..
