Improved Patio

After H removed the pavers from this end of the patio to make room for my old Hostas...we set about redesigning and hopefully improving this area, so far we are pleased with what we've achieved...

Looks very nice

Love it. What's the point of spending all that time and effort in the garden if you can't just sit and look at it in a nice comfy chair now and again?

Thanks everyone....What I like about this area more now, is the extra scents around us...Origamo and lemon Thyme, across the bed, the soft scent of Ghislaine Rose, and behind the seat, Pots of Parsley Mint and Rosemary...and Petunias to the left, that really have a lovely perfume...I like the smell of Box too when its been watered...

Sounds very nice - I bought some orange fizz Geraniums, lavender and thyme for our smell and goldcrest conifers :)))))))

mmm....love the sound of orange Fizz Geraniums, are you posting a pic Paul...
I adore Lavender....but it grows like a demented weed in our garden, and if I can get it in I'll take a pic of one of my monsters, it's been cut back to a quarter of its size, it wants to eat you as you go by.... :)))

Will get a picture - a little brown as garden centre not watering it too well - but picking up - yes we have a fair bit of lavender and can get a bit straggly

That's bizzare with some GC's...the poor plants can really suffer...I've got a habit of picking weeds out of plant pots as I go around...My H walks away, says I embarass him...lol...well...

Lovely area, smell is so important isn't it. I bought some scented leaf geraniums this year, plan was to sit amid them as the hot sun released the aromatic oils...bliss. Still waiting for the day:-))

A good morning to you Bornagain...early bird me this morning...:)))...Scented Geraniums are lovely, my friend has a huge pot standing by her back door, of lemon scented, and the leaf formation is very pretty too...We've been glad of the Rain this week, it's been Hot here since April, with hardly a shower...but very nippy at 7am when I went for a stroll...(ps we're an hour in front)...heavy dew, always a good sign of a nice day...
