Yvonne's Nectar Haven - Work in progress

Thanks for the kind words folks. Jenny, I'll take some more photos tomorrow and list all the plants I've put in. Not sure there is any method to my planting, more of a case of getting them in the ground before they died!

 

Fantastic. Looks really nice.

Fabulous Garden makeover Yvonne looks great .

 

Ok, time to start logging what plants I actually have and where they are. Before I do that though, I thought I would share another little mini make-over. I bought 3 terracotta pots which had been painted orange?! They were in the sale half price so actually a bargain if I could just do something with the colour, so I did!

Before

After



Planted up with, Large- Ivy, Cerinthe Major and Acer Palmatum Bloodgood. Medium- Andromeda Polifolia 'Blue Lagoon' and the small pot- Pineapple Sage.

 

Front Patio Border


Sage, Cosmos Purity Astile (various), Allium Aflatunense and Christophhii. I did have Purple Sensation but it failed to flower, probably because it was in a pot too long. Unknown silver foliage which is about to flower, Wisteria, Passion flower, Borage, Apple sage, Thyme, Delphiniums (various), Saliva X Superba, Diascia Flying colours,Light Pink , Lithodora, Heavenly Blue, Orange scented Thyme, Silver Dust, Saxifrage, Rosemary and Aubrieta.

 

It's looking great Yvonne,
where's the Wisteria and what type please? What a lovely thing to own...

Small Wall border - I'm going to fix trellis to the wall to accommodate the Clematis, Montana Myleen I have ordered from T & M, that is why this border is a little bare at the moment. I have English and French Lavender, a Pink Jasmine, Mint and Icterina Sage.

 

Hi Jenny! Thanks to the wonders of technology, I'm actually updating this from the garden so I took a picture for you. It's against the wall at the back of the border and it's called Wisteria Amethyst Falls. I want to train it around the top of the wall to cover some of the poor brickwork. The flower buds are nearly ready to open

 

Continuing around the patio I have planted out a couple of successful germinations from the seed parcel Jumbo Pink Banana Squash. Whilst I'm developing the rest of the garden I thought I allow them some space. They are growing well, thank you whoever put them in, 100% success so far!

 

Your garden's come on really well Yvonne and I like your re-vamp of the pots.

 

Garden is a credit to you. Please what did you use to re-vamp the pots? Vee
