Changed this small part of my garden.

The Ivy covered fence hides the bins storage area, as some folk on here already know, the narrow border was planted up with Sedums but I felt a change was needed.

Out with the Sedums, all potted and ready to go to a charity plant stall in a couple of weeks.

A layer of fleece was put down, covered it with Plum Slate …

Potted Dahlias were moved from a gravelled area by the greenhouse and I was anoyed to find two fat slugs under one of the pots. It beggars belief how they live under pots, then have the temerity to slither up the sides of the pots and munch on the foliage.

To the left of this is the ‘non-pond’, perhaps you recall it was planted with a huge Carex for a couple of years but, like all gardeners, changes often occur!

It now has three Roses, a Salvia ‘Hot Lips’ along with Gladiolus and Oxalis Iron Cross.

We popped out for an hour for a snack lunch, came home to find ants just about everywhere around this area so out with the ant powder, grrr!
