Ah, I hadn't thought of hydrangea. Toss-up between that and an appropriate rose, I think. Thanks!
Ah, it's the empty border in the middle of the photo I was talking about - is that the one you mean? There's no border to the right of the gate...
That's rather pretty, indeed. I don't have the depth for the trellis, I'll have to use wires. Here's a picture of the site at the moment. It's...
A good question! How far out from the wall will it come? Up to a couple of feet should be fine. I'll grab a pic when I get five minutes...
Hi again, We've got a north-west facing wall on our house, which has a small bed for part of its length, about eight feet long by nine inches...
Ouch - a conker tree - they get huge. Hmmmmmm. The second one is currently over 12 feet tall, and much "taller" than "wide", if that helps, with...
Here's the first, a full tree picture and a close-up. Is it some kind of magnolia perhaps? I'm pretty clueless. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Here's...

Wow.... I think I'll rehang my trellis a bit more sturdily...

Hi, The southern boundary of my garden is marked by a five foot high wooden fence, with a further 2-3 feet of evergreen hedge above (on the...
Just as I've filled a few pots with herbs outside, I see we've got another cold snap coming tonight - not freezing, but 2C or so. I guess I'll...
Oh here's one; a rather overpruned rosemary - any chance of getting any more life out of this, you think? It had rather taken over its corner and...
Thanks! A few more to come tomorrow if the weather continues to co-operate :)
Do you mean number 2 - with the white buds - from a quick Google, isn't Mexican Orange an evergreen though?
Laurel? Gosh! I've got a Laurus Nobilis in a pot on the patio (partly decorative, partly for bay leaves), so presumably a different member of...
I'd be quite interested to know what the following are... i) Random pretty-ish tree/large shrub [ATTACH] ii) Possibly a pear? Produced a...
