    Shiney and Kristen,
    thank you both for that invitation into your gardens. I love all of the items you showed me today. All of them planted with forethought and judicious planning. I know that is the secret of good gardening and both of you have that gift for it.
    A credit to GC you both are....

        I also like to see the names when you know them, then if I see one on sale :heehee: or looking for something to fill a gap, I know what it looks like, and ultimate size as I don`t have a huge garden and have to be very aware of how big they get.

                Looking good, Woo. Your garden is much neater and tidier than mine ever will be!!:snork:

                The Hosta "Blue Angel" behind the Bowles Gold grass does seem to mind the damp, shady position on the competition from the other plants.

                This little Acer was only planted last year but seems to be happy in the shade squeezed between a Viburnum, White Buddleia [which is hidden] and the Choisya [Oh, and Nettles!!:heehee:]

                        Hi Woo, I haven't got the nerves or courage to let Judges into my garden as I know I've broken all the rules and that they wouldn't like it.:snork: I think my type of gardening will only appeal to a few:heehee: But with your knowledge and skill I'm not surprised that you've won so many prizes!!

                          Hi Armandll thank you my friend but really it's just knowing what the judges like as they all have different likes and dislikes,in fact I went two years without a trophy at all when Kim wild was a judge, :cool: Much the same whatever you are showing ,I found it when showing Roses and canaries;)
                          These were taken about 15 minutes ago.
