What's your weather like 2026
Showers springing up today and then it's grim later this afternoon with rain, but it's another day of paperwork. But then it's two great days and hopefully I can finally get out into the garden....

New Here…
Great news. I lived in East Lothian and moved to the South Coast and the advice I get here is completely different from when I lived in Scotland.

What are we doing in the garden 2026
Not really as I gave away my leaf blower as it was getting too heavy for me . Also the willow leaves being long and narrow get caught inbetween the plant leaves, especially with the succulents.

Advice or ideas on narrow garden landscaping, partitioning and dealing with a raised patio
I would incorporate stepping stones rather than creating path (photo from internet, not mine).

How do you feel if this happens?
I blame TV gardening shows, they have no relation to real gardening and growing. Instant effect, not keen on garden designers personally.

Dying Privet Hedge
The variegated Pittosporum Elizabeth could work well - one of my neighbours has a very attractive hedge of this. I liked @Plantminded's suggestion of a flowering climber for the arch itself, too.
