I really don't like odd things like lumps of rusty iron, bikes etc in the garden but I'm not into formal hedges and edges either. I have a 'real' cottage garden - things grow into and over each other. It is survival of the fittest, if it doesn't like the conditions I don't bother with it, if it does I let it run riot. I do love a newly mown lawn though, it really sets off the plants
This was the garden in June
and yesterday the postman had to fight his way through the bees on the lavender to reach the front door!
This is my one concession to whimsy - Mrs Goose is actually marking the rod point to the drains - we have a sceptic tank not far out of shot.
