Gardens and Pretty Places we have visited
I think you notice the plants (or garden features) that you like @Busy-Lizzie and I would really like one of those antique copper planters, if only I could justify the cost .

Not a heron - we have loads of them here on the Thames. They are much more angular birds, standing around waiting for fish and looking elegantly gawky. This rounder softer looking bird is some kind of a wader - maybe a greenshank or godwit as @Selleri says. Or a dunlin, or a sandpiper?

Those windows would make a brilliant cold frame, honestly probably more useful than as bed sides. For the raised bed itself, about 30cm deep is plenty for most veg. You could get some lettuce, radish and spring onions going now and they'll be fine under fleece if it's still chilly where you are.

Gladioli for me. Something about them just looks like they belong in a vase and not in a border. Leylandii obviously, but that's basically cheating as an answer. I've also never got on with begonias, they always look slightly plastic to me no matter what variety.

Ideas for what herbs and veg I can grow in raised beds in shade
Alpine strawberries do really well in partial shade, they actually prefer it to full sun. Gooseberries are worth a go too, they're one of the few fruit bushes that genuinely don't mind a shadier spot.

What are we doing in the garden 2026
After months of dithering, we've ordered a new summer house for the deck by the stream. The old one is as rotten as a pear. We don't want a corner one as it's a bit small.

Mushroom compost
Yeah not sure why its alkaline, I assume they have added lime as most composted material, I always thought, ended up on the acid side.
