The garden at Lymehurst is as ever evolving (is this another way of saying I keep changing things around!!) As a trial and error gardener I often find that I plant things too close together never imagining just how much plants can spread or how tall they can grow.
As we had a long wet and cold spring I made these mistakes when creating a new front border. Suddenly when the longed for summer weather arrived the plants almost exploded into growth and suddenly I had to remove some plants as they were being covered up by the others.

| This year the poppies popped had self seeded and were so beautifull i didn't move them till they'd finished flowering. The yellow flowers grew much taller than I thought so they will be moved but they all provided a lovely burst of colour in the front garden. |
This year I bought a new bistro set in a lovely turquoise colour so that helps to brighten up the front sitting area. My next plan is to create a circular lawn that will then enable me to have 2 pull in places at the front for 2 small cars.
In the back garden it's just as well that I like the "unruly country Garden" look. Although it probably is rather crowded I just love all the different colours, textures and structures of the plants.
