What’s looking good in your garden?
Lovely to see all the spring flowers, shrubs and trees flowering their little hearts out. What do you particularly like in your garden right now? My mini cherry tree has finished flowering, but this yellow corner is looking pretty as well as all the forget me nots. 🌸

Help with colour for Irish back garden
Comments (4)I really think it's the plants that are supposed to be the center of attraction so I have a hard time thinking of anything better than painting the wall gray and the planters charcoal. However, trying to keep an open mind I did locate the photo above with yellow planters, which would be pretty against a gray wall. But looking at your very lovely blue door, I could see repeating that very same color on the planters and leaving the wall gray. It's always a good thing to repeat an existing color when it looks as great as that one does. That blue would be dynamite on a planter filled with green plants and colorful blooms....See MoreGarden help
Comments (25)Hi lots of different options and ideas going on. I had a similar wall and understand how mean it can be to little ones. I bought and put up the expanding wood trellis. This instantly covered the area at a very reasonable price. I then planted quick growing climbing plants. I'm not a great gardener so I cant remember what i had but ask at the garden centre they will advise you. But at least you have a barrier in place to minimize accidents....See MoreSensory Garden
Comments (3)Hi Maribel - have a look at Horatio's Garden. It is an amazing project which has provided gardens for patients recovering from spinal injuries. There are plans to provide the same for all spinal units around the country. The designers were award winning and it has been featured on Gardeners World. I know about it as a friend of mine who spent a year in the unit now fundraises for the charity. I know your little son's needs are different to those of spinal injured patients, but there has been so much thought put into this garden that it may trigger some ideas for you. Best of luck to you all. http://www.horatiosgarden.org.uk/...See MoreWhat is your favourite room in your home and why?
Comments (6)I'm going to be boring and say that my kitchen is my favourite room because my family spends time cooking together and eating at our cosy breakfast table in the corner. Besides that I'm also a big fan of our terrace and garden....See More

What are they?
And don’t say ‘flowers’ (that’s probably what I would answer). 😂

Sonia - you’ll have to create a similar post next year when I have more than a wasteland! (New fences oooooo) However my strawberries seem to be coming into a second crop much to my surprise and delight!

3 years agoFew more from the garden. The cosmos and hollyhock seedlings went a bit wild and are now 6ft tall and, after months of waiting, are finally flowering 🙂. Although not the colour that was on the seed packets 🙄.

3 years agoHi Sonia. It’s the plant with a name that I can never spell...but I’ll have a go.... tatrapanax papyfirus ‘Rex’ ???? Chinese rice paper plant. Or aka The Triffid! That’s easier to remember. 😉.
Apparently they can send out suckers from the roots several meters away so my neighbours might get a few babies in years to come. Can’t argue tho, it’s a fab jungly looking plant.
Here’s the proud mum!
