    Just don't have time here to keep things tidy, and this is the tidy garden, you should see the front one

    We had a great pine tree cut down in the far corner, about four foot across, so this is the first year, so the stuff we planted if not very tall yet.

    Never call a garden untidy - just call it interesting as I do. ;) I can see why you get so many bird visitors with the variety of planting you have.

    I love the messy-tidy look.
    Who would want a garden on rows?
    :)

    We Stewies are kindred souls! Neatness doesn't count with Mother Nature (have you seen what she does when left on her own?) and a garden that is really tidy is a garden that is fussed over, not loved.
    Kildale, your garden shows a lot of love. Almost as much love as mine :rolleyes: !

    I love the "full" look. Can't wait until mine starts to fill in.

    I'm jealous your garden is full of life. Get a chair and sit out and enjoy it. :D

    Thank you all for the messages. I think most of the hardwork is done, those paths took me a long time to do.

    I think your garden looks very pretty.I think we want our gardens to look like the pictures we see in magazines & we forget the tweaking & staging that go into most of those photos.
    Yours looks good enough to be in a magazine,I think.
