New Year - New Garden. Thoughts Appreciated
"Sacha" wrote in message
.. . 1. The instant herb garden project. If there's *plenty* of drainage, I think it stands a good chance and it sounds interesting, too. I shall give it a go and let you know how it turns out. Will post some photos when I find a good place on the web to put them.... 2. The native hedge project. Would Eleagnus 'do' with you - lovely scent on some of them? But in your shoes, I'd wait one whole year and see what you have got and how it can be improved. I know you're supposed to wait a year in any new garden, but I'm not sure I will be able to stop myself planting stuff anyway... 3. The anti-magnolia project First question is - can you stick the whole lot in a pile and hose it off? Not without digging up all the edging, some of which is cemented down - might work for the rocks though. put a few dabs of live yoghurt here and there on each one to encourage the growth of the 'natural look'. Like that idea - might try it if/when I scrub any of the paint off. Personally, I'm riveted by anyone who would paint stones with magnolia paint - and so MANY of them........! You should see the house..... (mind you magnolia works in a house!). Lovely people but they were not gardeners! Still at least I have a blank canvas to start with as far as most of the pants are concerned : ) Sacha Thanks for the ideas. Heather -- Spamtrap in operation. To reply to me direct put out the bins. To save yourself the trouble, reply to the Group. |
