Simply Design Your Own Garden....

Here are two nice, and important questions!

What do you like most about your garden?

What do you like least?

Take your time over this one....

The privacy, the view, the good soil, a special tree....

One of my favourite things is the view - it's known in design terms as 'borrowed landscape' and one of the lovely things about it is I don't have to look after it..

OK it's time to own up - here is my least favourite bit! The dumping ground at the back of the shed. But watch this space...

I love your view too - that picture is so peaceful. And one end of my log store looks just like your dumping ground!
What I love most about my own garden is that it feels alive - with wildlife, the stream, and probably because it's been free to do pretty much whatever it wants! What I like least is its lack of privacy, but I'm sure that could be remedied.

Privacy issues can usually be resolved - even if in only part of your garden, but very important I think. From what I've seen your garden looks very alive and vibrant - lovely!

As if to prove the point a kingfisher did a fly past (twice) while I was having my breakfast this morning! What a privilege.

I think we all have one of those! (The dumping ground, not the spectacular view.) I'm going to give this more thought. Very helpful.

No longer! Dealt with in a fit of ruthlessness!

First, your dumping ground made me laugh! Me too. I would like to eliminate a good deal of the plastic that seems to end up on my pile. And the compulsion to keep EVERY plant container!

Not to mention every viable plant and seedling!

Call me crazy....but i like having my secret dumping ground! We seem to need one...and this is the first house where i have had one...we make excellent use of it, too! It's behind a tall hedge and the land falls away. It can take a lot of the big trimmings from trees and shrubs that will take years to decompose; also the weeds...:-)..all the stuff i would hate to put into a landfill.

I often think that is the only thing we should be putting into landfill - biodegradables..

Your view just fills my heart with peace...
The thing that has been the more pleasantly in my garden is my newly herbs garden, I can´t get enough of it. I'll often go outside just to pass my hand over the rosemary to smell it or look at the chamomile, so delicate and beautiful. What I least enjoy is that it's too small and a big chunk of it is on a steep gradient. And that I don't have a hidden part for a dumping ground, so everything is in plain sight...

Herbs are a delight, and mostly easy too. A steep gradient is not so easy and terracing which is often the best solution is hard work and expensive - but a way of making the useable garden bigger....
