              A lovely clean layout Aln , looks very effective :dbgrtmb: Did you do your lawn edging with a laser beam ? That's a very clean straight cut ! You seem to have a few semi-tropicals in your planting make sure you protect them this winter. I lost a lot of plants in the 2009 , 2010 harsh winters.

                  cheers all, nice to have good comments :SUNsmile:

                  the borders/edging was cut by eye. it needs height now, and i still haven't painted my fences!! considering how it looked when we first moved in last year:-

                      Wow, that's an extremely neat garden.:ouch1:
                      Are you going to keep it that way or let it soften a little? :smile:
                      What's the pretty little red flower,bottom left in photo 2?

                        Far too tidy, needs an old scooter with no wheels & a washing machine.

                          other than a lot more planting and painting the fences, yes, it'll stay that way (he says...........!!) its the ocd in me. :snork:

                          the little red flower is a salvia.
