Your garden is lovely Tee Gee; I am envious.  It's how I would like my garden to be.  We have drawn out plans and have at least 200 shrubs, perennials and climbers in pots waiting to go in but I have nowhere prepared for them yet!  Having arthritis and being disabled, I am only a warm weather gardener, which doesn't help things.

The past year was a bad one for us as I was ill during the Spring.  My hubbie was busy finishing the summerhouse, digging out foundations in our hillside and erecting our large greenhouse.  He wasn't able to help with the vegetable gardens so I struggled trying to maintain them.  Unfortunately, the flower beds had to be left and the weeds, mainly couch grass, nettles, bindweed and docks, have taken over.   

It's lovely to look at your blog and see what could be done.  I shall have to refer back to it from time to time as an inspiration for next Spring.
