Today in the lovely warm sunshine..

Wonder why the plants die in this bed......have you any ideas??

Yeah, usually it's the dog that's dug them out but also neighbouring cats seem to use that one side as their toilet. The cat problem is now sorted. And there's been no more digging since.

It looks good. I love full borders.

Thankyou! We do too! We're off to the garden centre now for more plants now!!

Love the idea of fixing a plant support at right angles to the wall - what are you growing up it?

It's just clematis, we're doing everything that we can to make the garden more private in the spring and summer :)it's an archway that goes over the gate but was a little big so had to be fastened to the house :) we will be swapping it for a wooden one this year (we've bought the wooden one) just waiting for the building work to be done now :)

Very wise -those metal ones don't last more than a few years - at least ours hasn't - its held together with binder twine at present.

Our metal one is about two years old and it's already rusting.. We only bought the new one because it was less than half price in the winter/Christmas sales. It's not going to up though until we've had all the house work done as that's the way the workmen will go through to acess the back of the house :)
