I am being patient [conifer bed revamp 4]

Oh gosh SBG you are being good. So sensible placing the plants whilst still in their pots. How long will you be able to remain patient? It's all going to look fantastic. I'm very envious. :0

dont think I'll get home in time to plant anything this week. and i| am away for the weekend. so.......... :o)

You are being good sbg and I`m sure the saying "All good things come to those who wait" will surely ring true in this case. Its going to look lovely.

That layout looks great,Sbg..my,it hasn't taken you long to get all those together,and I bet you still do a bit more tweaking ! Lol..have a lovely weekend..:o)

I know its probably frustrating to reach this stage and not have time to plant them but there is nothing worse than getting them actually planted into the ground and then realising something is not in the right place,I think you are being very good Seaburn and Mr T always recommends placing, then studying from all angles doesn`t he, LOL....

That looks good! I really like the twisty edging.

I love to put new plants in position in pots like that then move them around till I'm happy. It's all looking great, and it'll give you something to look forward to after your break. The edging looks wonderful!

That's what I do, too, Sbg and Louisa! I bet you shift the pots around...and again... lol. You said your Narcissi were in a line - not for long, I guess! It's all looking very promising, and I like your new purchases. :-)

when i get in tonight if its not too dark I'll have another look and see what I can move.

Bloomer since I knewn I was revamping this bed I have slowly been buying suitable plants, propagating others and I was keen to clear some space in the 'holding areas'.
Ah Dear Mr T, yes Lincs it is easier to move them now than when they have been in a while.

They are called rope edged tiles Melchisedec. You can get different patterns and glazes too. Most are a brindly slightly metallic looking glaze over terracotta.

Thanks for the info, Sbg.

Looking good. I've found the planting in an island bed to be quite challenging. As I set the shrubs as quite small plants, they've been drowned by the perennials. A couple of years on should see a role reversal.

This planning stage is so important - written by one who has a tendency to plant numerous things in the wrong place and then live to regret it!!
Please let us see when it is all planted up!

dont worry wildrose I will be boring the pants off people given half a chance haha.
Yes Dawnsaunt my shrubs are small and all are either dwarf or slow growing. so I am mindful of the sizes of things.
