PEBBLE GARDEN

Óoooh, lovely. Thank you Terratonie and wellcome back, we were missing these wonderful photos. Beautiful. What are those low blue flowers, please?

Hi Katarina .. Thank you.
The pretty purple/blue flowers are aubrieta.

For how long does it bloom like this?

That's very pretty TT. I like the texture the pebbles give the area.
I agree with Katarina. You have been missed ...

gorgeous Terra - this is how I wanted mine - great work!!!

Terra its lovely, so pretty, im going to get more aubrieta for around the new pond, its so pretty :o)))

Thanks Hywel.
I feel better for having taken a short break from GoY :o)

Hi Paul. Thank you...
It takes a while for the new planting to settle.

Katarina .. all the flowers in this photo bloom for many weeks.

Thank you Sandra.
I'm glad you saved the frogs. Lol.

:o)))) xx

Looks lovely , Tt ; I wondered where you had got to .... I was about to organise a search party !

Lol. Driad ...
I was encouraged back to GoY by a very good friend ..
he is kind, charming and persuasive... Lol... :o)

I am glad, as you have so beautiful corners in your garden to share.

Glad you're back and that pebble border looks fantastic.

Looks fab TT

Thanks Katarina, Oji and Sheilar :o)

that's wonderful Terra :-)

Thank you Surreylad.
I hope you had a lovely Easter with your children :o)

Thanks Terra, yes good fun they are driving me nuts!!!
good to see you back again, hope your better now :-)

Yes, thanks. I was just a bit discouraged for a while ...

Glad your youngsters are enjoying their chocolate.. Lol.

Thanks :-))

Photos like this give us all inspiration to put more effort into our gardens.

Thanks TOG ..
and lovely comments like yours give me confidence to keep going :o)

I'm glad to see you are back too,Terra..your new border is coming on a treat..lovely colour scheme too.:o)) x

Thanks Sandra....
This area appreciated the recent rain. :o) x

This is lovely TT. You were missed, nice to see you back x
GOY would not be the same without Team Terra!!!

Thank you Scottish...
Team Terra back in action :o) x

sorry you were feeling a bit off Terra...your garden is an inspiration to us all..always full of lovely colours and textures...:-)

Thanks Sandra ..
Very kind words ..
I'm perking up again now... :o)

Pleased you are back among us Terra, I was going to P.M you in the morning, your garden is looking splendid as usual, weather here as not been very kind to us gardners snow blizzards, winds and today rain! but you can't keep a keen gardner down lol

Hi TT, such a beautiful border..very much an inspiration :)

Really lovely TT, your garden always looks immaculate no matter which part you show or what season a credit to your hard work - with Conker and Truffle's help of course :o)

I didn't think TT did any of the work, Conker and Truffle do it all. I've never seen any pics of TT working, only her two boys! lol :o))

looks great Terra.

The new area looks amazing TT I love it!:)

I appreciate all the comments.
Beverley ... Thanks ... your own garden border planting is very pretty.
Neena ... Thank you. Very wet gardens today !

the curved shape is lovely and those white pebbles make it so light and bright.

O..Wow! I really like that! :)))

That's really lovely TT. I like it very much indeed. Usually we only see pebbles where there is water...but this is nicer than a rockery I think....I am favouriting it for future reference...great idea! :)

I'm pleased you like it, Sticki and Michaella ...
The Pebble Garden turned out better than I had imagined.
There'll be another close-up photo of this area on a blog soon ...

Thanks Karen...
It ended up sort of a mix between a Pebble Garden and a Rockery.. a bit of a hybrid... Lol.

Terra, what a fantastic view, is it from your window? Your garden always looks so neat and pretty, such an inspiration:-)

Thanks Bornagain.
I can see this from my back windows.
To take this pic, I balanced on a plastic chair on the lawn.
Nearly fell off.. Lol.

We get into the oddest situations to take pics from just the right angle don't we lol...still it was worth it:-)

it looks just fantastic Terra, I love the white pebbles and all the colour there,

Wow what a beautiful area you have created. I feel quite inspired now! I love the aubretia... beautiful.

Thanks Yorks and Shenuk :o)

I did wonder how you had achieved that particular angle TT! lol

Lol. Karen ..
It was a choice between the chair and extremely high-heeled wellies ;o) Lol.

OH, now when are we getting a photo of your extremely high-heeled wellies then? ;)

I don't actually have high-heeled wellies ...
but they would be great for lawn aeration ;o)

;) better than a hollow tine aerator any day!! :)))

Definitely... Lol.

I've put the close-up photo of this Pebble Garden on my blog today ... shows the pebbles/rocks hybrid design mix a bit better ...

... needed lots of wellies today in all the rain !

It looks so pretty, Terra x

Thanks Emma :o) x

It looks beautiful TT :o))

Hi Amy .. glad you like it :o))

LOOKING GOOD
LOVE IT

Hi Pete.
Thanks.
I like your birdie avatar photo :o)

Just perfect, you must feel so proud of this.

Thank you Homebird and Wildrose ..
I'm pleased how well this area blends in with the rest of the garden.

Lovely addition Terra, well done you...

Hi Sue ..
Many thanks.
I hope all is well in Vienne. :o)

Not a weed in sight. Lovely. We are plagued with ground elder which flourishes at every opportunity!

Hello Magnoliamad ... Thanks.
That must be very time-consuming and exhausting, trying to win the battle of the ground elder !
I hope you win :o)

Hi Terra, Yep not too bad, can't make up it's mind whether we're actually going to get some rain or not, just a few little showers...here and there...

Looks fab!

Thanks Pix :o)))

Still catching up, TT, your pebbles are lovely and so beautifully clean.

Hi Gee ...
Thanks... This a hot, sunny, dry area, and I think that helps the pebbles keep clean. :o)

A lovely area, just love it.

This looks lovely, but then your garden is beautiful Terra. Glad your'e back. x

Hi Terratoonie, Great area nice and bright with great planting. Reading threw your comments and the amount of comments you get, it shows how much people missed you and how well liked you are !

Thanks Linda and Bill for your lovely comments.

I felt better for having taken a short break.

Glad you like this area, Dotty. :o)

Hi M. Thanks.
The Pebble Garden has developed better than I had expected. Lol.

Beautiful, there again i think all your garden is so lovely.

Thank you, Carol ...
I love using pebbles :o)

Hi Scotkat ...
Thanks. This area is much more rewarding to work on, now that it is a pebble garden.... I'm pleased I designed it, and changed it last year.
