Thanks, it's coming along well. Even my 21 year old son made comment, which is most unusual!

I know Scottish, I was amazed. he opened the back door and totally unprompted said "oh, I like what you've done out here Mum" How about that!

lol and me with Paul and his shooting - so boring, same old same old. But eh ho if it keeps them happy its fine with me. Just been for a good walk with Walter and the ground is so very sticky on our walk, could go further but it is so heavy going and my knees start to get sore so I am trying to do a little at a time. Off into town soon though. Not that I want to but must go to bank.

Thank you Bilbo! I cannot wait to see it all get growing now. Just a couple of hostas to add, and my white foxgloves to go in, and some dicentra, white of course, later on, once it comes in to the GC.
It's funny because I originally planned my big woodland border to be all white flowers, but that went out of the window pretty quickly, so now I have my white garden at last. :)

Looking real good Karen ......your shade garden. That plant at the front with the big pointed leaves. There is one next door to us, and its about 10 foot tall and been scalped by the corporate gardeners a couple of times too. It does grow well in the shade. It has white flowers late in season, insects love it for late nectar......can't think of its name.

it's Fatsia japonica Dorjac. They don't tend to grow so fast here and get damaged every winter, but yes, a lovely evergreen. Thankyou!

It all looks good and healthy so far...looking forward seeing the on going pics.
