I would wait until your shed is removed and then you can see exactly where you need the privacy, you could also then post some photos which will...
Oh, thank you. We saw one of those in our garden onTuesday and I forgot to look it up
Violas will keep flowering for months if you deadhead them
Grey and gloomy here again today. We had 40mm of rain between 3pm-ish and 9.30am this morning and still raining on and off although drizzle rather...
I’ve grown Hakonechloa in very dry full shade under a huge cherry laurel @lizzie27 . It did fine. Not as full and luscious as it would be in damp...
