Filling the border...fast!

Looks great already - good luck

Don't get stressed Spritz. it looks lovely, i wish i could come and see it.lol.

It looks good to me I am sure your visitors will like it as well.

Am so looking forward to coming over on the 03rd, Spritz, and seeing your beautiful garden in all its finery! Love the new pathway, by the way, and the Campanula P.spreads like you wouldn't believe, so be warned, (I have it in my garden, and it is proving to be a real carpeter!!) LOL! :~))

Looking good Barbara. You've given me the solution to where to put my Campanula, thanks in my 17ft x 8in border which I cleared yesterday of ivy.

You're welcome, Pip. Isn't ivy an absolute pain to get rid of!

I know about this particular Camapanula, Flori - it's allowed to spread sideways, but it'll get trodden on if it invades the path! :-((

That border will look so lovely as it fills out, Spritz, and softens the edges of your new pathway~can't wait to meet up again next week my friend! :~))

Tell me about it Barbara it took me from early morning until 8 at night to do that long narrow strip. When I received the campanula I repotted it until I had somewhere prepared. There is never any point in rushing in and then ideas come along :~))

Looks lovely - I'm sure your visitors will appreciate all the effort you've gone to.

What an achievement, with a bit of sun and hopefully a drop of rain that weve been promised it will fill out beautifully.

You are going to have the perfect ediging there Barbara to show off your new path, good luck with your Open Day hope the sun shines for you;0)

absolutely lovely, wish i could come to your garden too

Wish I could be amongst your visitors Spritz,,as it is I`ll admire from your pics.
Wishing you well for your open day......

Its looking lovely already Spritz, I`m sure it will look fantastic came your open day. :o)

Thanks, everyone! :-0)

Good luck looking lovely.

Thank you, Carol.

looks really lovely & good luck with your open day

Good luck for your open day ! I hope all goes well and that the weather is perfect for everyone to enjoy their visit. I like your new border and the plants you've put there, especially the grass Briza maxima. It's very pretty and I like the sound of it's name lol :o)

looking forward to seeing it for real soon :)))))))))))))))))))))

a lovely collection of plants there spritz. You will find they perform splendidly and i bet on time too. with you in spirit if not in person.

It sounds as though I'm going to have several GOY-ers here again - which is GREAT!!

I wish you could all come....:-(((

I wish I could come too. Hope to see you in the future, but good luck.
Linda

Thanks, Linda - you are a bit far away to just 'pop in', aren't you! LOL. If you ever have a holiday in the West Country, come and visit! :-)))

Lovely, lovely, lovely. You have done a fab job there. I absolutely love the grass that I can almost hear "rattling" in the breeze. I wish you a great day next week.

WOW. Such a large variety of plants in a small border.
It'll look stunning in a couple of weeks.
Can't wait to see some future pics :)

Thank you both - the grass is supposed to self-seed, so I do hope it does for me...I think it's a wonderful one! I'm also looking at the buds on the geraniums and telling them to get a move on!! :-)

Its looking good Spritz....hope the day is a massive success....:o)

Thanks, Alice...IF we get some fine weather to get the grass cut, that would be a good start! :-O

if you find your lacking in the Briza let me know, it grows everywhere round here

I sure will! Thanks. :-))

Really lovely, everything looks so natural, just wish I would be able to come and see it, but unfortunately not, so just keep coming with those pictures. I sure will keep my eyes on them

Thanks, Titchy, I will. Shame you can't come, though. :-((

It's looking great Barbara, hoping to see the real thing on the 10th. I've asked Peter if I can make a badge of the GoY logo so you will spot us. Maybe others may want to do the same. Good Luck for Thursday. Pam.

That's great, Pam! I know of at least two others coming on the 10th, plus Flori on the 3rd. :-))) I'm looking forward to meeting you and seeing them again...I met Flori at Malvern, and have already met Louise and Grindle. :-)

:) I'm coming armed with a trowel LOL

i shall warn the gate-keepers, Grindle! You'll get 'frisked'....LOL.

Gorgeous Spritz,
Good luck with your open days and I can't wait to come down and see you!

Thanks, Ian. Shame you can't get down until your holiday, but there will be different things in bloom by then, and you can have a 'private guided tour'. LOL.

LOL

As I say, I've been looking forward to it since the beginning of the year. :~))

:-))))

Looks amazing really nice to see a narrow border planted so well.

it's looking really good!
Best wishes for a very successful open day and of course good weather!~will be Dexter sitting this weekend so can't get there~

That's a shame, Arlene - there's always next week, though! ;-)

Thank you, both of you, Elliot and Arlene - It really has made a difference to the 'look' of the new path. :-)))

Sorry this is late, but have been working non stop this last two weeks, love the selection of plants you have used, hope all went well on your Open Day sorry we could not make it, so pleased the weather was lovely and warm, I am sure the day was a great success.

hope its bin brill and the wether was gud as well x

It was, thank you both - the sun shone on us and Flori came with her husband! I'm still up - v.v.v. late for me, but can't relax yet!!!

glad you had such lovely weather for your open day, hope next week is as good :)

Fingers crossed, Grindle....we were v. lucky yesterday...:-) By the way, somebody thought that Carex was a Photinia!

Glad you had a good day Barbara, see you next week. Pam

I'm looking forward to it, Pam! :-)

Lovely blog Spritz, glad it all went well for you after all your efforts. I'd love to visit it, but I'm afraid this is the only way I can unless you could move it nearer. Love the little pink ajuga:-)

It's an unusual one, isn't it, Ba. I wish you could all come....I know it's too far for many people, though. :-(((

You've filled in the pathway border very nicely and so quickly! I really need to get a move on with mine. Have noted all the ones you listed for me Barbara and shall be going down the garden centre as soon as.

You're very welcome, Annelise - and do please ask again if I can help any more. :-)))
