Evolving detail

Detail of the SW corner of our garden. I'm a long way from satisfied with it. The Bamboo may stay (even though it turned out not to be the promised Black Bamboo) and so will the Tanyosho Pine (Pinus densiflora). It'll soon need a bit more thinning out I think.

But the low growing Juniper (at 3 o'clock from the Pine) is going to be moved somewhere else & I'm probably going to try to establish a bed of Wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens) between the rocks & the fence.

Very nice though. Typical gardener, always changing our minds

Jane's absolutely right - we tend to change our minds! I was at a local nursery looking for some more Wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens) & noticed, right next to it, some Hebe pinguifolia pagei .

I'd seen some of this Hebe in a local garden a couple of years ago and liked it, so I bought half a dozen of them instead. I planted them this morning. Now I'm hoping that they'll spread without growing too tall - and that they'll look O.K.. I guess it'll take two or three years to fill the space in.

See there! Every changing, and isn't that the spice of life?

And gardens of course!
