Ideas for my little plot please.

Thanks, Pro Guard

Unfortunately I have a south facing garden that is no good to acers. My wife bought me one last year and it continually suffered from leaf scorch. I have now given it to my parents where it is nice and shaded and doing so much better.

As for a small waterfeature there is actually a half-tub on the patio by the house with a few goldfish, a lily and a small foutain in.

 

Just a thought tree surfer, but you might consider setting some trellis at a right angle to the fence part of the way down the lawn on the opposite side to your path. You could grow roses, clematis or whatever over it and it would hide the hutch and bins as well as breaking up the contour a bit.

I admit to being a fan of arches and paths that take you under them into different areas of a garden. Its all a very personal thing, so just suggestions.

 

Well done TS your months of work are really bringing out the best in your garden although I have to admit the garden does look some what closed up but this should be sorted out by the time climbers have taken hold of all that trellis work.

It appears that your garden is still overlooked by your neighbour's up stairs windows have you thought about making a pagoda? Not only will it give you even more places to plant 'up' but it will give the garden a lovely intimate area where you can chill out after a hard days work.Hel.xxx.

 

If I knew what I know now about gardening 19 years ago, the first thing I would do is enhance the soil.
Add compost, peat, mushroom soil, and then start planting.

 

All great idweas folks, and believe me, the wife and I will definitely discuss them all. A pagaoda over the patio has been a thought previously and may be a project for next year or later this year. And we also definitely need a screen for the hutch and bins.

Cheers,
Matthew
