I'm quite happy with the way my gardens are coming on, seeing this garden is
all clay, I thought I'd lose a lot of these plants, but they've all done
very well.
Two photos one taken the day I planted out on the 4th September 2011 and one
taken 13 days ago.

Wonderful. I guess you got the correct plants for your area. I always
look forward to your posts.

That's nice to see: it still looks young but they're growing really
well. Keep up the good work!

Your plants are all thriving it seems and everything looks great. I have a
lot of clay in my soil too and not everything I plant works out this well.

My house was used when I bought it and the previous owner had mostly roses
planted and they were thriving, but after a while we got tired of all roses
and decided to redo the gardens. I put in a variety of plants including
some that were hummingbird attracters and my results were unfortunately sort
of hit-or-miss. Over time we've finally got it coming around pretty well
but I've got a ways to go yet.

Meanwhile, congratulations on your garden! It really looks nice.

Thanks Pat.

We sort of have the same problem here. Whilst the house area was a blank
page for me to do my own gardening thing, parts of the rest of the property
have been "landscaped" by a previous owner, but subsequent owners have let
it get overgrown ( our block was originally a 5 acre block with a house
right at the front, then the chap we bought it from, subdivided it into two,
the house and 1.5 acres and the bit we bought, 3.5 acres). . I'm gradually
removing all the overgrowth and replanting to my taste. It will take me a
long time, but I am enjoying doing it. Unfortunately there's dozens of huge
corydlines dotted everywhere and other trees I don't like, so they have to
go to.
