More on the garden
We need to do something with odd bits of garden here and there, but it's difficult to know what to put in. There's a patch under the kids' windows that is full of weeds (largely evening primrose) and cries out for something fragrant like philadelphus.
General rule is to look around you and see what grows well for other people.
Well everyone has big laurel bushes with red, pink or white flowers. So we could stick some of them in and I'm pretty sure they'd grow enormous!
The garden centres are full of hebes, and I imagine they'd do quite well, too. They're generally pretty tough back home.
Also bamboos do well here.
Our goal is to try and make the garden look cared for while being able to neglect it substantially!
Oh, and of course we plan to plant lots of daffodils just inside the fence and outside the vile confer hedge. If they survive they'll look quite good against the dark green wall of yuk.
