Yesterday I took the bull by the horns and ordered a stack of plants for part of the garden - it's a huge sloping bed between the terrace and the grass at the front of the house which our living room looks out onto.
This means I now need to dig out a lot of randomly planted things and overgrown shrubs which I want to replace - like a huge hypericum, golden privet, lonicera nitida and several of something a bit like a kerria which isn't but which goes beserk in summer and blocks the light for everything else. There are seven more of this git to dig out.
I'm planning a rose hedge alongside some steps and putting in more evergreen flowering shrubs. I'd already put in a dwarf acer and a camellia a couple of years ago.
Lots of hard work ahead and it'll be a couple of years before everything is established.
