I think its just when you have so many little things to do that they all feel like a bit too much....I also like order (I can get a bit stressy if I have more than 35 emails in my inbox). however I sneaked home for a couple of hours last night and will be ploughing away all tomorrow so it feels a lot more on track!<br /><br />Good Paulownia tips, I also have a nice friend who wants to split his bamboo and am thinking I will have lots of clumps of Jerusalem artichokes!Clivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10121702191706190527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7896756321056623696.post-51989150309398009692012-02-29T12:24:43.406-08:002012-02-29T12:24:43.406-08:00Wayne's garden looks lovely!!
I know it's...Wayne's garden looks lovely!!<br /><br />I know it's easier said than done but take it easy and don't stress too much about your opening day. I'm sure everything will be fine and things will go smoothly :)<br /><br />What about a series of Paulownias to act as screening in your overlooked areas? It's is fast growing and will give you a leafy canopy that will give you some privacy. The only drawback is it is deciduous. Some bamboos can take a long time to gain height, but rather spread out first before it goes vertical.<br /><br />Looking forward to seeing your garden progress and updates! And give mixing concrete a try too, you might enjoy it ;)Mark and Gazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09427245730390252976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7896756321056623696.post-56101898703726626802012-02-29T12:23:40.767-08:002012-02-29T12:23:40.767-08:00Wayne sounds like my kind of gardener!

There is just so much to look at, and so many amazing plants - and you have that idyllic area beneath the canopy in which to have tea and cake. BTW, I would have the canopy even if it isn't threatening to rain - it's quite nice to have somewhere shady to sit if you've been wandering round in the sunshine.<br />Even talking about what you plan for the future is interesting to most gardeners, I find.Victoria Summerleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05055381807236106596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7896756321056623696.post-73159779191207538292012-02-29T04:25:08.492-08:002012-02-29T04:25:08.492-08:00I know what you mean about gardeners being critica...I know what you mean about gardeners being critical of their own place. I really try now to accept compliments gracefully and not point out all the shortcomings (in my mind).<br />We put a large planting of bamboo round our table and put sails up over it to get a bit of privacy.It certainly worked and the bamboo has grown into a jungle!<br />I was so impressed with you garden on TV Clive. I'm sure you're have another great opening for NGSJanethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06999513105724635810noreply@blogger.com
