    Had a good clean up today, planted out the Geraniums, moved all the Cannas and Dahlias from the windowsill in the bedroom to the kitchen for a few weeks, And used vine weevil killer in all the pots to stop the buggers decimating the plants. Fed all the Boos, Cordylines, Fatsias and palms with nitrogen and BF&B, and fed all the other pots.

        Used little pebbles to create mosaics in the gaps between the stone circle and flags.... and the false grass.

                Simon fancy a trip down to Somerset and planting my garden up once I've got it built please...

                Your garden is my kind of tranquility...

                Even hubby was impressed, and when I said that the kind of thing I want to do, have the garden crammed packed with plants, containers etc etc... He didn't faint or fall over..

                  What a lovely space you've created Simon! And the mirror is fantastic! I must look out for one of those.

                    Thanks!!!!

                    Still got loads to do, it should look like a jungle this year! I've gone for the tropical/chill out theme, this summer it should be a hot bed of red to mix in with the green....if I plan it right. Nighttime is great, and we use it as an extended room, nice to sit with a G&T or a Merlot.
                    I've just plumbed in a AirPlay music system too, so should work ok for friends popping round etc...

                      I love that garden, it's fabulous. Obviously a lot of hard work has gone into it. Very well done x
