What a beautiful garden you have there.

superb..is that one long plant or a few..they look perfect climbing up the steps, thank you

It's one plant that has spread, they grow very quickly

love em

Looks lovely.

I love steps, always leading somewhere and pretty plants around them

I had these put in as soon as we moved in, it makes weeding the slope easier

I bet it does!

absolutely beautiful

wow, absolutely gorgeous Annella...

iv always loved steps anne especially when they are lined with lots of colour like yours, so pretty :o)

Soooooo lovely! I agree with you San, love steps. I have my little tyme steps of course. Actually, to be honest I'm glad my slope isn't as steep as this, it must have been killing work making it work.

A real killer but fun Karen, this is my gym and I neeeeed to get back to it!!!! I'm hanging on by my fingertips to a size 10 at the mo. This is a main part of my garden so I have to make it work. Btw your geranium is doing very well on there, near the top :-))))
Thanks San, Yorks and Alex

wow -I just love it.

anne i wish i was still a size 10 lol, dont think you need to worry.

San you are tall!!!!

yes 5/10 and a size 12 ish lol depends where i buy, use to be a 8 as a teen then 10 till i was 40 and now 12 at 51 so cant complain i guess, how tall are you anne?

5/4 San and size 3/4 shoes plus small shoulders so every pound shows! Ideal weight is 8 1/2 st then I'm a size 8 (my metric is crap..Lol)

yes i see anne, and thats right size for weight as you say, same as my mum and sister, both not tall, im like dad and brothers.you will soon be on the steps again ;o) off now so nite anne, sleep well x

Nite San x

Annella I love this pic of your steps, have added it to my favourites.

Thanks Dotty :o)))

You two! I'm so glad I'm not standing beside either of you in my size 16!!! jeans! :(( I'm off to weight watchers on Wednesday, you've just made up my mind!...but don't worry, I still love you both really, but no more talk of size 10 PLEASE!!

Ok Karen x

;)

Planting at its best Annella.....:>)

This is pretty Annella :o)

very pretty, do you get lots of sun on your garden annella? that planting is really lovely.

In the summer yes, but none at all in the winter Sticki. The bottom garden is in the shadow of the house for months. I'm amazed at how many things will grow here and try new plants every year, one or two things at a time or there could be expensive mistakes. The heavy clay doesn't help in the winter :o))

i havent got clay or sun; most of the garden is in the shadow of trees behind for most of the year but in the middle of the summer all the garden gets at least some sun.

I have the same problem with a large old Ash tree just above that border Sticki, It takes the sun from about 4 o'clock in midsummer...beautiful old tree though and it has a preservation order on it

well ive put your picture on my favourites ~ to remind me that it can be done!! shade or no shade!!

If you would like any of these plants let me know Sticki....This is north facing too so all hardy little b....rs!!

thank you annella, i cant get over how kind people are on here!
i still have dead leaves and dying stalks to clear up as well as builders mud but if its ok with you i might come back to you and ask ~ thank you!
we go thru your county on the A14 regularly to see son in suffolk.

Closest point to me is Kettering! Feel free to ask when you are ready hun :o))))))) Wheeeeee oh no that's another blog.....

This going on my favs too Annella you really made it look a picture..tell me..what is a size 10? I think ive heard of a size 16 but that was years ago...lol!

oh tetra!! made me laugh!
annella have you had a go on the dumpr.net website - this picture would look really good on that museum or art gallery one.

I want the Monet look..you know the beautiful splodgey one ..

funny you should say that cos i fancy doing that with my back garden picture - thought i would get out some bits of small sponge, some paints and have a go!

Here we go...Lulu's AA is starting to take off..

i think we need a commentry on the picture!?
The artist has used broad colour strokes to highlight the main feature of the picture; notice how the steps naturally lead the eye to .... oh well you cant see it but behind the bush is a table with a carafe and a glass!

You lost me Lulu's AA? Arty arty!

OMG be careful my steps are wonky....

You mustve been 3 sheets to the wind Lu, this artistic academy thingy, thought we were coming up for free boozee...or was it me 3 sheets to the wind???
Confucious he say, "beware of OAP's in drunken state: what little brain left becomes soggy"

Well i waited and waited for y'all to arrive and I downed all the booze!
