    What's your weather like 2026

    Messing around with rain again here, nothing heavy but I just wish things could dry up for a few days, even when it's not raining the atmosphere is so damp any drying is very slow.

    Advice or ideas on narrow garden landscaping, partitioning and dealing with a raised patio

    I like that idea too @Alisa and @Dan1981, they will add interest and function without taking away too much growing space from your garden.

    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.

    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 :heehee:. Also the willow leaves being long and narrow get caught inbetween the plant leaves, especially with the succulents.
