Grandpapa, yes some gardens here look like that, I'm not entirely sure it's exactly cottage garden style as many gardens here don't conform to any one style.

Erynne, I'm sorry you missed lunch! I had fun putting in all the names from my family too :)

Dave47, if this is making do, I'm more than happy with it. Mild climate, superb for gardening and a huge wealth of plants to choose from. When does your winter start again?

Here's a very small part of a new border dug this spring and planted in May/June, this photo was taken a couple of days ago.
