@Melody Mc. thank you so much for your lovely comments. I fully agree with you that the beauty of the gardens on this forum are all so fabulous. The combination of growing vast bountiful amounts of fresh edibles alongside creating stunning recreational zones for all the family to sit and relax in is a true eye opener to me......the sheer land acreage you all seem to have is mindblowing !!! Many have to do battle against extreme weather conditions and test their wits against some very determined, destructive and in many cases dangerous critters too !!! In comparison I for one have a much easier time of things over here in the Uk and feel a bit of a fraud .
@Pacnorwest ...sorry just re- read your post. Were you referring to the Coleus in the 2nd pic or the Cyclamen in pic 5 ??
