Re: Pdid`s garden pic`s
That will be a great looking garden when it matures in a few years time. I to would like to see a few curves, but it looks like you have children, so you need to leave them a bit of green stuff to play on I suppose.

Yes Mr L it's a rheum palmatum, I got it from a local garden centre so will be widely available. They are good when you want something similar to gunnera but not quite as big.Mr List wrote:is this ornamental rhubarb?

where did you get it?
nice to see you curved the end of the lawn off
can't say i approve of the playhouse
would be nice to have some names of the plants in each photos because i don't recognise a lot.
looking good.
I don't approve of the playhouse either but I have to share the garden unfortunately
Ask away for names.

Yeah it's ok Karl, I want rid of it really but the mrs is digging her feet in. I want the space as a raised arid bedkarl66 wrote:pdid, the pink tree in the planter is the exact same as i have, i think they blend very well with other tropicals & keep the colours interesting, only downside is they dont flower for very long.
Re: Pdid`s garden pic`s
Cheers, I think the one you mean is Arisaema Utile, recent purchase from amulree it was the biggest they had.phatplants wrote:Nice garden, and fantastic arrangement of plants, with loads to go in. Are you able to give me the name of the plant in the black pot next to the Fatsia Polycarpa? Thanks
Re: Pdid`s garden pic`s
Thanks for the kind comments. As far as the kids go, the Ricinus will be going in shortly
I may add a few curves to the lawn later in the year, but as there are lots of straight lines in the garden i though I'd go with them and use plants to soften the edges.

Re: Pdid`s garden pic`s
Looking really good mate! I'd agree about the corners, you will be amazed how good it will look by just rounding the corners of the lawn AND you get more boarder spacepdid wrote:Thanks for the kind comments. As far as the kids go, the Ricinus will be going in shortly

Most wanted list - Any Young Trachycarpus and/or fern.

Re: Pdid`s garden pic`s
Coming along a treat.
Get the kids involved, planting stuff and sowing seeds cos believe me, when they're older they won't lift a finger in the garden
I'd echo the comments and say round off the lawn edges

Re: Pdid`s garden pic`s
You have a good selection of plants there. They will fill out and look great in years to come.
Re: Pdid`s garden pic`s
Looking very good.When my kids were small I allocated an area for them with their swings slides etc.I then put trellis around three sides with the front facing the house so I could keep an eye on them.

So, you basically put them in a cage at the bottom of the garden then?dorothy wrote:Looking very good.When my kids were small I allocated an area for them with their swings slides etc.I then put trellis around three sides with the front facing the house so I could keep an eye on them.
