Hi,
Once again- thanks for the comments it's always nice to hear that other people appreciate the fruit of your labours.
There's no major plan really, we like big and bold and as much as possible.
The fence in-between the gardens will be worked on this summer and either raised or planted with bamboo to create some screening hopefully, and your right Kata we probably could go a bit higher with the external fence too!
Even though the garden in summer is lush and full, during winter there's a lot of mud on display which is becoming increasingly more depressing to look at. Can anyone recommend a nice lush evergreen low level ground covering plant that'll cover quickly but not strangle the other plants?
Thanks
Sam

Unfortunately not, it's a back to back. We are getting married next year and then hopefully shortly after moving to a big place with of course a MUCH bigger garden...then the fun can REALLY begin!
