    Thanks for a very interesting post. I'm looking for ideas for a front border, between a low brick wall and gravel. So it was very helpful to see what you used and how they developed. (Sometimes it's difficult to visualise just how much room plants will take eventually!) Thanks again :)

    Can I ask a nosy question - when you built the frames how did you then attach them to the ground? I am looking at doing something similar in part of my garden.
    Thx.

    Just gorgeous. Thanks for the updates. I do hope you continue posting as the year progresses. I've been following this thread from the start. Its very inspirational. I have been inspired to begin a small gravel area in my tiny back garden.

    That looks lovely! Our front garden borders really need to be fuller as the weeds are claiming more space that the plants!

    Looks great. I love that over flowing border style which we have also acheived in a border this year. Wasnt brave enough for the Chelsea chop though but next year for sure :T
