Since we transformed our 'yard' into a 'garden' (that's what i like to call it anyway :D )
The first picture is what it was like when we had just finished....

This is what it looks like now....

Grown a fair bit ey?









More to come

 

It's lovely and colourful, Pea, and everything looks so healthy. You've done a fine job! :D

 

aaarrh thank you. I just love it, can't walk past a nursery without going inside and making a purchase. Then i get home and wonder where the hell i am going to put it :D

The weather has taken a turn for the worse and its gone really cold, not good as i can't potter in my wee 'garden' :rolleyes:

 

Its lovely really full and cheerfull..you will have to get some winter plants to keep it going!!

 

Very true wildflower, this is my first year properly gardening for the summer. The next mission is the Winter. Any ideas on the plant side? i haven't a clue.


Some more pickies.........








Love these Snap Dragons, the colour is so pretty..
the yellow one looks like it should glow in the dark!
:D

 

I am not a genius on winter plants myself ..as you know all my plants dissapear for the winter..but last september i bought some winter pansys to put in a hanging basket to brighten a wall up for the winter..and guess what they flowered from september last year and are just dieing off now..still some flowers on though..i put them up a south wall and kept feeding them and i guess you can get some ivy to dangle in with them !! I dont really like pansys but its all i could find that looked cheerfull..post a question asking for winter plants ideas..some one will know..

 

Nice one for that matey.
Im not looking forward to theWinter and frost, haven't a clue what to do with the plants and protecting them but i guess i'll deal with that nearer the time, trying to enjoy the summer at the mo...But where has the flamin' sun gone!!!!???

PofS - for winter colour, search under each month i.e. January garden colour, February garden colour etc.

Members uploaded pictures of plants ablooming in each month of the year.

BTW - to all, please add to them, as the months go by.

 

That's quite a variety of plants there Fancy and a nice pond.

 

Fancy, that looks great, all you need is a few choice trees and your jungle will mature up nicely. One plant you definitely need is more tall grasses and some bamboos. I grow Miscanthus sacchariflorus which goes from zero in March to 12 feet in August. They look beautifully architectural defoliated throughout the winter, then in feburary you harvest the canes for various purposes and off they go again. I will try an find some zero to 12 ft shots for you.

Looks well thought out, great!
