CHANGES MADE TO FRONT GARDEN, am I pleased,

You have done a lovely job - it all looks so welcoming. The scent from the arch when the plants are in bloom will be beautiful.

Good blog, Stroller, i like the bigger bed .... more room for flowers, i think we can be guilty of being on the cautious side when it comes to beds and borders, i'm enlarging my borders at the moment too !
Your trellis will look great with the 2 climbers on it - no Clematis though ? !
;-)
(i love clematis!)

that looks great Sroller,your garden looks lovely and you have worked hard making your archway, much more satisfying than buying one well done..:o)

Yes Katnip looking forward to the scents.
Louise1, you took the thoughts out of my head, just trying to make my mind up on what clematis to choose to entwine with the rose which is a medium pink.
Much cheaper too Joanella.

Looks very welcoming and homely. Well done!!

Brilliant! Looks really good.

Look lovely Stroller!

Stroller, if the rose is a medium pink you could try a toning shade, so a darker pink or a purple or .... contrast it with a white or a deep red maybe !

gosh you have been busy. glad you think you like it. I know I do :o)

Well done, it looks great Stroller. It seems quite a few of us are enlarging our borders, it can make so much difference. :o)

It looks lovely Stroller.

It really makes a beautiful statement at the front of your home. Bear in mind pruning when you choose a clematis (or two - or three), I find late-flowering ones easiest.

Probably best to go for a late flowering one Wagger as the rose will be over by then so it will prolong the interest.

Your garden looks lovely Stroller and the trellis really sets it off, it will be grand whatever you grow up it..........

Thanks Seaburn, Lab,Mavis and Lincs for your kind comments.

That's looking lovely,trellis is so useful all around the garden. Congratulations are in order for this project, well done. : o )

It looks great and I really like the arch :o))

Thankyou for sharing Stroller your garden is beautiful .

Thank you Homebird, Madaboutgar, and Scotkat your comments are very welcome.

I love your arch, Stroller, it'll be lovely when it's covered by your climbers. You've inspired me to get my husband to build me one too!!

Thank you Mandym.

Looks lovely Stroller, do you think being on this site spurs you on to greater effort as you see so many lovely ideas? It's certainly inspired me:-)

Yes Bornagain I have given much more thought to the garden since I found this site, and I have received such a lot of support and encouragement. There is so much information out here and it eggs you on to try things out. So I say long may it continue.

hear hear, if that's how you spell it lol:-)
