everyone’s garden is looking so good at the moment I thought id give an update with some pictures taken from the upstairs of the house..
I wish I had more time but one thing is sure I will put a slate patio in at the bottom of these stairs this summer..

Love it and like that it has a slope to it. That is one of the things I would have liked in my garden, steps are lovely and you can make such a feature of them.

A wonderful variety of plants Skips , it will be interesting to see how you tackle each new area we must see some pics. of the slate patio when you finished it, Olive O . is right having slopes and steps make a garden so much more interesting ,I'm afraid we come from the flatlands , hardly a hill in sight ....

It's lovely to see your garden from above Skip! It's looking really fresh and 'Springy'! The lupins are lovely, and in bloom! Mine are just tight little green knots, I'm getting left behind! That acer is a gorgeous colour, do you know the variety? It's just lighting up that whole bed...Glorious! The slate patio will match in beautifully with the colour scheme you have there...can't wait to see it, good luck!

what amazingly supportive comments, thank you and they are very nice to receive..
im far from happy with the planting and my knowledge is basic but it does look good in parts at this time of the year..again i wish i had more time..
the slate patio is a must, ive promised myself too long now and its unusual for me not to do what i promise..
again thank you all for the wonderful comments and taking time to respond x

Your borders are lovely and full, Skip....despite you saying you don't have the time you'd like to attend to your garden. It will be lovely if you can get the slate down too. I like the natural look of your garden (and your stair railings).
It's nice to see photos taken from "above"....thanks for sharing your garden with us, Skip.

What a beautiful garden skip. The acer is lovely. I also have the "bugle" plant that you have..great groundcover but can be invasive. Mine is popping up through paving so beware if they are new to your garden.
