Hi Florentina, I’ve just worked out who you are! I think you’ve been through a name change or two 
My garden is looking beeyootiful, thank you! It is absolutely unrecognisable. I kept some of the more established shrubs and a peony, but everything else in the garden was cleared and new plants have started to establish. The ground elder is pretty much all gone, and the ivy is under control. Both were hugely invasive when we started.
I’ve made many mistakes along the way, including buying loads in May one year so that everything flowered at once and by July I had very little in bloom!
My big wins have been lots of eriseyum Bowles mauve which have done superbly well and give masses of colour all year round, a magnolia, hydrangeas of all varieties, escallonia Pink Elle, and lots of viburnum, lilac and lavender.
I’ve also done very well out of Wilko £3 climbers as I have at least thirty of solanum (which is massive in a very sunny spot, pretty good in a less sunny spot) honeysuckle, various clematis, pink jasmine and Passion flower.
We cleared the whole of one side of the garden and planted rhubarbs, autumn and summer raspberries, thornless blackberries, a tayberry, strawberries, dwarf apple and berry and pear, carrots, parsnips, bettroot, peas, runner beans and sweet peas. Chillies, herbs and soon to have tomatoes on the patio.
Above all else, I am loving having such a pretty space to enjoy. It is so nice to be out there. It makes me really happy. Bank balance has taken a hit, mind you!
Starting the front garden now and trying to think before I buy!
How is your new garden? Are you still loving the change? It was beautiful straight away but I imagine it is looking more established.
