looks great,

As for sudgestions, personally id Go for some more red perhaps red geraniums in tubs at the front in order to set off the orange of the nasturtions better.

 

Any suggestion?

Yea, empty the wheely bin:D:thumb:

 

Hi V&F man. My No1 job there would to hide that block wall. Some trellis maybe with a rambling rose or something that strikes your fancy. Cheers...freddy.

 

BTW, otherwise it looks pretty good to me

 

Echoing a previous post I would definitely move that wheelie bin before you take any pics LOL!

Otherwise, that hedge in the back looks like it needs teaching a lesson, and bigger beds-but i am a greedy s0d when it comes to flower beds. I actually think some height and some blue, whitye and purple tossed around would be ideal against the very nicely kept lawn.

This is a toughie because you actually have chosen well already.

 

Nice garden. I can't advise on plantings because I'm far from an expert, but I had a few thoughts:

The picture headed "Large container" - How about the covering the concrete square and the man hole cover that the container stands on with some gravel or maybe nice white flint pebbles. The white would maybe go with the white walls of your house, and the container would look more like a feature in the garden. In the unlikely event that someone needs access to the man hole, it would just be a case of sweeping the gravel/pebbles to one side and putting them back later.

Your wheelie bin - How about making a trellis enclosure to hide it, and growing a strongly fragrant climber over it. If your bin is anything like mine, it can get a bit smelly at times, and they never look good. Maybe Jasmine for it's white flowers to go with the white walls of the house? Or Honeysuckle, its yellow flowers might work well with the yellows and oranges of the nasturtium in the hanging baskets.

Front border - Maybe widen it a little and chuck in some Rosemary, Lavendar and Sage for their fragrance and evergreen foliage perhaps.

Wild bed - Maybe something nice and tall with striking colour to offset against the lower plants with more subtle colours. Foxglove perhaps, or some nice red poppies?

 

looks fantastic, hard work isnt it,but that you know keep it up.
your garden looks great.

 

Looks great to me V&G Man well done.
Jimbo

 

Looks nice

 

Looking good, but a couple of suggestions:
Make your front border bigger (it's too narrow imo)
Widen you wild flower bed sideways
And your big pot maybe get a bigger pot to completely cover the man hole cover (I think it is)
And maybe go for more variety of perennials rather than annuals

 

And another thing!!
I think the hosta in your big pot would be better on it's own as they do grow quite big, just my humble opinion of course...

 

Judging from the amount of Nastrtium you have I guess you use it instead of Letttuce.:D
I too would widen the border and add more contrasting perrenials, otherwise it looks good. I wish I had a garden that big to play with.

 

looks like you've got some pretty heavy washing on your line:D:D
