A little bit of my garden in the 'sun'

I say sun because that's highly contentious..

It's supposed to be the Mediterranean corner.. whether it comes off as that is as much down to my poor planning or lack thereof

 

Looking good

 

A lovely mix Stephen, all it needs now is the

 

Hey, Stephen, you are doing good there ... despite the weather and the fact it is not your garden. You will have your own garden one day ... and you can take most of these things with you.

 

Looks fine to me, an Oleander instead of the Rhododendron perhaps?

 

Thanks everyone, it helps that things are flowering, it's not bad actually, I'm moderately happy with it.

Strongylodon, in the winter that is the coldest, wettest part of the garden, I don't think an Oleander would be suited there.. plus it's actually my dads garden, he wanted the Rhodo there, can't really complain I suppose... at least it's evergreen.

I have some Gardenias in the other part of the garden but still quite small.

 

I think it looks really nice, although I'm not sure I'd use the word Mediterranean. I think that only because of 2 points. The colour of the wooden fence, which I think for the med look should be white, lemon yellow or very pale blue. Also, the grass, I don't think lawn grass is common in a med garden. But then that's just my interpretation.

Regardless, does look nice.

 

I meant Mediterranean style planting.. design just aint going to happen until I get my own garden

 

It looks good, and in time, if its what you want, you will have your own garden.

 

well, mediterranean with English touch

I like to see that you habe a tibouchina !!! I love them, but don't have means to get them over the winter, did you just buy it or is it an old one?

 

It's new, but I know a guy who used to grow it outside permanently against a wall, it survived every winter with only a little leaf loss, however his garden was an exemplary micro-climate. Fortunately the climate is mild here and I will be able to get it through in a frost free place, but with the assist of maybe a little heat on the coldest nights.
