Tirednewdad's garden

Ok guys, I'm feeling brave. After years of letting me snoop around your gardens and stealing all your ideas I've decided to post a few pictures of my own garden.


Please be gentle with me as I've only been gardening for 3-4 years, so it is very much a work in progress! It's a very small garden, only 7mx10m which is good for me to keep on top of things and I'm also pretty sure most of the photos will have a stray ball or large slide in the way

These are a few photos from today in rainy Wales!

Seed grown delphiniums and lupins- I was really lucky with the colour. I love it

 

At first I was gutted about the slope, but then I realised that it ment that I could grow so many different things. The things that need loads of water are at the bottom and the drought tolerate are nearer the top, but as I live in Wales, everything gets a good watering!

It also might seem a bit steeper as I'm 6"5 tall, so everything's taken at a bit of an angle.

 

A few photos from 2 weeks ago. It looks a bit bare but please bare in mind I only dug the new bed a few months ago. Warning! The photos are upside down!

 

Lovely garden TND....Some great plants and fab colours

Thanks lolimac. Really great full for your kind words. Its slow progress as i'm trying to divide things to bulk plants up- but its taking time!

I'll try and find some older photos of the garden

 

All my type of things THD. It's a fabulous garden and I'm surprised you've kept it from us for so long.
I would be bursting with pride to own such a garden, thank you for the invite today,

Looks fab, lovely colours!

 

A lovely garden TND and full of colour too.

 

A really lovely mixture of plants TND.

 

Thank so much for your really nice replies. I have to admit the colours were a bit accidental but they seemed to work out ok. I think i just looked at Pete's garden and tried to copy it (badly).
Trying to upload more photos but the files are too big. Anyone know how i can make the files smaller so i can post them?
