Taking Shape

At last we are starting to look like a proper garden. The back border is clear except for the holly, that can stay until there's been a decision on what to plant in the centre to climb up the big trellis. Both of the white climbing roses are in, they were half price in Homebase so Michael snapped them up. We were given a euphorbia by Ita from the St Mary's Garden, and we've put in some perennials that were chosen for being drought resistant.
I've made some attempt to mark out the central bed, I think it looks OK, and that means that the path is starting to emerge where the bed meets the back border. I've got some edging for this, not very beautiful but we can grow plants right up to it to disguise it. I spoke to the lady in No35 when she was mowing her lawn and she has promised to try to grow a mallow from cuttings.
