A beautiful sunny February day!

It looks nice now. You've added some interest to the area. I hope your plants settle in and give a good show :o)

Great planting and pics.. !
I enjoyed your blog :o)
Adding to GoYpedia.

looking very good scottish, i like the plants you chose.

Lovely day all the way down south as well scottish, but your right it was a day to do things you enjoy, I think we deserve it after being trapped indoors.
Your plants look great & if the weather keeps up they will be up & away in no time.

Some nice plants Scottish..pleased you could get out in the garden for a while..i was in mine this afternoon for an hour or so..weather was quite mild. :o)

That works very well, Scottish. It will fill out nicely and be much more attractive than the gravel.

Thanks for the blog, you have made a very nice area with some lovely plants.

That will look a treat as they fill out, I like your choices Scottish. I also managed a few hours outside today, it really cheered me up...

Thank you all for your nice words. Have an identical space at the other side to do. Although I hope to do something different just haven't decided yet!!

Nice choice of plants there. They look great Scottish and will look even better when they've grown a bit. It's been a lovely day here in Sunderland and, seeing I'm on annual leave for three days, I've spent most of today 'tidying up' in the garden (well it might be too cold or wet tomorrow)

You spent the day wisely scottish great plants there going to look great very clever choise.

Great pics henny..love the Oliphotogn or whatever haha :)

Yes beutiful weather - supposed to be a temp colder spell then back to mild next week - and time is moving on now into spring. Your plants are the types I have - cotoneasters are a big fav of mine - love the black grasses and we have Tiarella like your heuchera - the jeepers creepers tiarella. The rocks and pebbles really add lots to it all :)))))))

Thanks Sheila...hope it was nice for you again today. Was not too bad here - rain kept threatening but so far has came to nothing. I see your leave is spent pretty much the same as mine :)
Cheers Kev, pleased you approve :)
Pixi - I call it the black opi doh dah!! I think all plant labels should come with a pronounciation bit like you get in a dictionary :)
Paul - yes time is moving on and spring is getting nearer. Someone at work told me to expect snow Sunday/Monday - what's your take on that?

Excellent choices there Scottish...and I love the Cotoneaster, am a real -real foliage lover...and this is a cracker...Well done, will look forward to your pics later on in the year...

Yes they should! lolol :)

Thanks Crissue - more to come!! How's your weather now?

We should start a campaign Pixi!!

Hi Scottish,

It's cold, but dry, the Frost/Snow has gone, and I'm looking at flattened Plants, just beginning to lift their heads again...lot of scorch on some shrubs, but I'll do nothing till I'm sure the weather has turned the corner for the positive...

Gravel garden looking lovely. And Hydrangea petiolaris is one of my all time favourites . . . pretty at any time of year, so great choice!

Crissue - I'm sure things have improved by now - I don't know how I managed to miss your reply :)

Sheilabub - I've been after one since my brother moved into his new house - his neighbour has an absolutely stunnning one. I'll be please to post an update in a few months :)

Hi Scottish...No probs..only just come back to this, time races along...
Weather now is milder, and we are enjoying one or two sunny days, but still low temps at night and early morning so still guarded, and still doing nothing till the weather changes for the better...Gives everything a chance to pick up by themself...Had a peep under the straw earlier this week, lots of life underneath> so pleased with that...

I did take your advice Crissue and put a few things under straw - I have had a wee peep too - all looks well :)
