    Hi folks,

    Just found the site - hoping to take a look around and find some much needed help and inspiration ! Trying, with not much success, to tame an unwieldy side and back garden (I live in a side door flat so don't have a front garden as such). Can't do much in way of hard landscaping so have been trying to make it look nice with plants, but it's not working !

    Side slopes in 2 directions, neighbours chain link fence, no privacy & not much sun - help !

    Yow Bananaman,

    Thanks. I've already seen some of your posts and enjoyed them, but myself and my family are still traumatised by the sad sight of Baby Bananaman's Sunflowers ....
