Hi Laurence, and :sign0016:. I have an area somewhat similar, except it only gets sun for about half of the day. I have planted it with pieris,...
Thank you for that, @Redwing. I will be looking for water plants in the foreseeable future, and the selection looks good.
No, I haven't. It has been burnt inside, and the burnt pieces of wood flake off easily. Hadn't thought about giving it a scrub, was just thinking...
It's looking very nice, @strongylodon. I like the leaves trailing across the surface. By the summer it will look like it has been there for years....

Great replies, thank you. I shall move my poor, hot and sulky sweet peas into the kitchen window again tomorrow and hope for the best. Planted...

Lovely poem! Thank you.
What a brilliant job you have made of your garden @Outlander. A lot of hard work, but it has really paid off, and the bottom of the garden must be...
Thanks, @luciusmaximus, I'm looking forward to it too!
I had a lovely hypericum in the front garden. It died off in the really harsh winter of 2010(?). So I replaced it with..... exactly the same...
Ooh, a dare, @luciusmaximus! I love a dare.... well, here it is, and consider yourself warned, it is not a handsome barrel like @strongylodon's...
