    Beautiful garden Paladin!!!

    I love the pieces of stonework dotted around - especially the sundial!

    So sorry to hear you were affected by the floods last year - you've done an amazing job to get the garden into this sort of shape so soon after.

    Big pat on the back and REST UP until you are 100% better!

    It's about the same age as yours Kazy. I have never trimmed it at all because it's growing on a steel frame which can support the dense growth. It's a haven for nesting birds too.
    In the Autmn I heap a couple of barrows full of compost and a good handfull of Growmore at her base.During the Summer I make sure she has plenty to drink.
