Thanks so much Tam, will take up your suggestion...... and will keep it in mind for when I post about our back yard which is a work in progress.
My dh and I did it together, he did all the blockwork and planted all the trees, flowering cherry,,
2 maganolias and the Bloodgood maple and I did all the shrubs, crepe mrytles, heuchera, nandina, pittisporum, roses, manukas, mock orange (snan't bring to mind their correst name!!) dianthus and felicia etcl.,.

H:ad one disaster, the lawn seed had been planted abut three days when we got a torrential downpour of rain. You can guess what happened? Yeas, the seed washed into the garden beds and I am still puling it out.LOL

A;though I said go to whoa, i always leave spaces for annuals, i am tossing up whether to put in impatiens or petunias.

Yes, i am really happy that our growing season is with us, so wonderful to have my plants doing their darndest to look pretty.
