Back at the end of May, I planted up my long boarder with plug plants that I’d grown on from tiny saplings. Here is my post from back then. With all the rain we’ve had, the boarder plants have shot up and today it looked gorgeous and so much more colourful that I expected it to be this year. I wanted to achieve a cottage garden effect and I’m really pleased with the result so far – next year it will look even better!
This was my long boarder, first planted, at the end of May…
This was it today…

I think your border is absolutely beautiful. I had no idea that so many of those tiny plants which you put in earlier would produce such a stunning border this summer. Well done !! xxxxxx

Thanks. Strangely I’ve seen very few slugs thankfully. I must say, I’m really please with the boarder, I didn’t think it would look so nice in its first year. X
