Can anyone help please as i'm new to this gardening lark?
i have a really long garden which is also very wide
right at the end of my garden- about 30 metres from the house- is a 20 metre wide 1 metre deep border .
its next to a fence which ive just had to put up as there had previously been bamboo there which had run down the garden
anyhow , 2000 pounds later (for removal of trees/bamboo) and erection of fence i am left with a long thin border in clay.
cos i'm getting on, i dont want something thats hard work to look after and expensive to buy.
as ive got hundreds of hardy geraniums- i was wondering if a long bed of these with a row of different topiaries (don symetrcally from centre of fence) would look ok- perhaps 2 for spring, 2 summer, 2 winter etc--- or would it look like an identity parade?
If anyone has any ideas id be grateful
thanks

As you can see ive spent today experimenting with shrubs which look daft!
I've done it by copying and pasting- bizarrely its showing on mine!
Is there another way of adding it please- something i could press?I nearly did it but its upside down!
Click on the tree in the toolbar to start.
You might need something with a bit more substance than just geraniums. A couple of shrubs maybe.

Tingly - there is a green tree icon in the toolbar above where you type your post. Click on that and follow the instructions ...... and don't give up, it can sometimes take about a minute for the pics to upload.
