Hostas come to mind for your shady bed Tel....or Heucheras. The problem with putting a climber up that fence is the narrow space for planting......unless you plant in big pots and train up..... We have a few Heucheras and a couple of mature Ferns and one large Hosta that we have stored on the allotment.  Sounds good Tel.....and no brass spent  ;D |

Sorry I'm late catching up with this. You've done a lot already. Roll on spring so that you can get on with it. I agree with Brenda, - I think the greenhouse is in the right place. It needs to be somewhere convenient. |

I have a grass that looks like that, I had it at the old house too, i like it . If you move it put it somewere it can fill out, or a large pot. Other than that I just used to pull out any bits that were growing were I didnt want them. |

I have both the grass and a rampant crocosmia in my garden, I've been battling with them both for years, every time I think I have eventually got rid of them they pop up again. If you want to replant them, do make sure they are contained.

If you want to replant them, do make sure they are contained. I think after the advise on here, i shall try and dig out both culprits and get rid. |

Made a start on digging them out, hopefully by digging them up by digging way below the roots i will not have missed any. 14 Rubble sacks filled, to go to the tip so far. i will have to bring some soil in when i have finished digging them all out. If this mild weather continues and the soil stays warm enough i may be able to put the plants that we have stored in before the cold weather sets in. |

[/quote] Its a nice sheltered border between the wall and fence Tel, so it would give them a head-start for next year |

The beds will appreciate the hard work. 14 sacks of rubble is a lot, it is amazing what some plants survive in. |

If you can do that the garden will look established much earlier. You are inspiring me to get on here.
