When we bought the house the garden was non-existent. It just just ratty concrete and a few weeds. Each spring and autumn for the last five years I've been planting, heaving and hauling. The garden had to be designed so it could look after itself and only be worked on twice a year. I planted plants that would always be in flower when we were like likely to be there.
The joy of arriving from Australia and racing around the back and seeing dozens of roses in bloom is wonderful. There is a little creek at the back so there is also an extra layer of screening from the houses opposite. Luckily too the sun shines on that side of the house most of the day so flowering plants do well.
