Do you know what colour the blossam/flowers are for each of those?

Apart from the immense enjoyment they will give you they will in time prey on some of the bugs and insects that eat your plants!<br /><br />For a native hedge I would throw ALDER BUCKTHORN and GUELDER ROSE into the mix. They will both give you flowers for pollinators and the berries are loved by birds. ALDER BUCKTHORN is the food plant for the Brimstone Butterfly so the more that get grown in gardens around the country, the better!!<br />Best<br />HiggyHiggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05034613695263425820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3662634574243736713.post-4544403444021154922012-07-24T14:56:18.272-07:002012-07-24T14:56:18.272-07:00Thanks for your comments.

I have done a lot of work over the past two years, which is why the blog has currently taken the format it has, as I try to introduce the various changes that have been made without making it boring. I find that colours that apparently do not go together and clash, when put next to each other can bring out different features of each, and your title picture on your blog is a perfect example of this. <br /><br />The pond is by far the reason for this interest, and once I had started, the garden seemed to progress outwards from around it.Tom Edwards (Cottage Gardener)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17115894844493958728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3662634574243736713.post-20146480524775679972012-07-24T09:09:12.965-07:002012-07-24T09:09:12.965-07:00Hi CG,
Your blog is starting to take shape as is ...Hi CG,<br /><br />Your blog is starting to take shape as is your garden, well done!! Your Allotment area is a really nice idea and your large plot allows you to really go for it and plant out lots of different types of fruit & veg. As this is an area I don't do too much with I will enjoy seeing how this develops! Like you my only real veg success this year was potatoes & spring onions!!<br />On your previous post you mention your colour scheme for the long border which sounds amazing! As you would have seen from my own blog my planting is much more random with mixing & clashing colours so again I look forward to seeing this develop.<br />I would also like to get a look at you pond and bog garden which you have mentioned a couple of times and I presume like me is what kick started your interest in the rest of the garden??..<br />HiggyHiggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05034613695263425820noreply@blogger.com
