A lovely Cottage Garden border Janey :o)

gorgeous planting :P It looks so well tied together and natural and i am quite jelous... :) *adds to favourites*

Wow, what a beautiful combination. Well done!

Thank you Bellflower....welcome yo Goy!

This is lovely planting Janey, is that fox and cubs bottom right, or something else? I like the way the shasta daisy above picks up the orange and blends it nicely with the blues. Very good!

Why thank you Karen! Where did you dig this one out from...Lol! Now, bottom right, well they're Marigolds, and maybe some Tagetes there. I'd forgotten about those Campanulas, they creep everywhere, but aren't they pretty....:o))

lol! I was looking through 'border ideas' in goypedia to try to cheer myself up!

Hope it's done that for you ....:o) I get such a thrill out of gardening books too, my boy in Oz sent me the RHS Encyclopaedia of Gardening last year.... love it, even though it's very heavy to handle. My all time fave one is Gardening in Small Places by Lance Hattat, I bought about 15 years ago...it has some great designs to inspire you and lovely gardens to venture through....they all seem to have wonderful backdrops, which is what I would like....:o(

Oh, I may have to look that one up, it sounds wonderful. Yes, I agree, gardening books are great. I also have the RHS ENcyclopedia of Gardening and the ENcyclopedia of garden plants...both very heavy! I love my clematis books as well of course...and yes, I think those of us who have trees or fields or hills behind our gardens are very blessed indeed! You do have that wonderful warm wall though Janey, and your beautiful cottage too! :)

Lovely planting - I'm starting to get excited about summer coming looking at that! Sadly it's still a long way off though...

Hello Annie...welcome to GoY! Thanks for your kind comment, I wish it looked like this now too....Lol. Another few weeks and we'll be on our way...it's still so cold here in Lincs, everything in the garden seems to be holding it's breath, waiting for the sun, a bit like us really....:o)

Just lovely! What are the pale purple tall-ish bell-shaped flowers?

Hi Joga....they're Campanula latifolia, they grow to about 2.5 ft, and spread like wild-fire!

Oh, thanks! They are gorgeous! I've got to get some of those. :)

A beautiful border bursting with colour,just lovely !

Thanks Whdebor......pleased you like it....

Oook, I've just bought some seeds for c. latifolia... do the insects like it? I'm so glad people keep comenting on this, its very pretty and I quite like being brought back to it :P

Hi Jennyfer, yes bees love to crawl inside the bells, like they do Foxgloves...beware though, it is quite a thug once established, I've been pulling it out, here there and everywhere.

Heehee, I will bear that in mind, thankyou :) However I do like anything that makes the bees happy... :P
