For Wild Rose ...as promised !

Wow Rose! What a beautiful garden and fantastic transformation. I had Strawberry Hill in my last garden. I agree...gorgeous! And I seem to have caught the Hydrangea bug as well this year. Yours look beautiful. Ah...summer...all gone now...:( But we must go on and think about Spring bulbs next, and prepare for the dark months ahead.

It Was a pleasure to walk round your garden Rose it's delightful and so much colour you could almost smell those fabulous roses ,well done ...

Rose, many thanks for all these lovely photos. Your garden definitely has your joyful personality throughout it and your love of plants shines through.

Your Graham Thomas Rose is beautiful and your clematis have settled in really well.

The swing seat was the perfect present - well done you for staying awake until 4pm by the way!!

It's amazing, so much colour and what an achievement in such a short time. I hope you have neighbours who appreciate your beautiful garden.

Gosh what an amazing amount of work!! you have been busy, a real credit to you, lots of lovely colour, and perfume....... beautiful (✿ ♡‿♡)

I have really enjoyed walking with you. I love seeing others gardens. thank you for sharing.

Hello Julia, I am pleased you enjoyed the little walk. Apart from gardening and looking after Rick who had yet another operation in the summer, we have moved near the coast and have spent many days walking with Rick in the wheel chair up and down the prom.
Thank you for your comments.

Thank you Karen! I don't think the photos showed the beauty of the hydrangeas. I should have took photos when they were in full colour. My new Annabel went over very early too, but maybe next year it will do better !
Don't want to talk about winter ! Brrr!

Thank you Amy. They all have a lovely perfume, but the best is the Zephrine Drouhn but unfortunately didn't do so well after being lifted from the other garden.

Hello Chris. I did say I would put the photos on, didn't I !
Until having the swing seat, if we weren't going down the prom, I would have been working until I had to make the tea ! I have sent you a p.m. I don't think you can have seen it yet ! Hope to hear from you soon ! xxx

Thank you Honeysuckle, but unfortunately the garden is hidden by a high hedge and fences. Although one neighbour wanted to see what I had done and was impressed. He is a lovely old boy and always been a gardener , so was very touched by his comment.

Thank you Dotty. I have enjoyed creating it, even though it was hard work.
I am sorry I didn't get back to you about the decking, but still haven't decided what to do with them. There is not enough room for raised beds now !

Thank you Seaburn girl for your lovely comments. I do appreciate it.

Your garden is very colourful and it has been nice to have a wander around :)

Sorry Rose, I didn't know there was a message from you, I will go and find it!

Thanks Hywel, I am pleased you like it!

Your garden is beautiful. You have really got green fingers.
It's lovely to hear from you again. X

Thank you Marjorie. Now the weather is changing , will hopefully be on here a lot more!

It looks amazing rose, have you moved house? Do you really garden each day until 4pm? Are you the designer? So many questions only 'cos I'm interested:-)

Hello Born Again, we moved house in November.I used to garden every day all day in the beginning. I started landscaping after Christmas and worked out there every dry day I had. There is a blog that I did when I started showing the before and after. Its Jan. 31st. The garden is heavy clay and roots everywhere from the hedge and trees, so had to use lots of compost.
I don't do a plan, I just study it for days and when I put the arches in, it started to come together.
I think Chris ( Wild Rose) was having a bit of fun when she mentioned 4pm every day !

I'll have a look at your blog:)

Rose ... your garden is stunning... You've worked so hard to make it look very established. Well done !

Thank you Terra. I enjoyed doing it even if it was hard work with roots and the clay soil.

Rose : the hardest work is done now... and you have the fantastic results to prove it !

Thanks once again Terra ! We were lucky enough to have a good summer to enjoy it !
