    Partial screening suggestions

    We love our Mahonia ‘soft caress’ which isn’t prickly at all, but might not grow tall enough. Ours is between 1m to 1.5m Similarly Nandina. I can’t remember the variety we have, but it’s trouble free.

    What are we doing in the garden 2026

    Of course I jinxed the weather saying how nice it was yesterday. I managed a little bit of pruning out crossing branches in my nectarine and then the rain poured down!
