We have very narrow opening to our drive between the posts but also because the plants don't allow the gates to open fully so we have to line the car up well for that and then it is about right for the plants down the middle so not as difficult as it looks.Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12905137222286141548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3981923768479808158.post-70853745841929654582009-07-24T20:54:19.219+01:002009-07-24T20:54:19.219+01:00I love it!

I do hope you enjoy visiting my garden as I guess you are not able to enjoy yours at present. <br />The politics surounding this illness are hardly credible until you start delving and so much of my time is spent when I am not gardening and blogging on trying to raise awareness particularly around where I live as there is a growing number of cases I am getting to know.Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12905137222286141548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3981923768479808158.post-18667070894540299202009-07-22T15:52:39.583+01:002009-07-22T15:52:39.583+01:00You're a women that thinks like me...

What beautiful photos you have shared with your readers. I am so happy I came across it as I can enjoy nature from my laptop even more now thanks to your garden.<br />I have Lyme along with my husband. I have been on meds 2 yrs and he is just starting.

I just hate missing them. <br />I sure hope you win the contest with that fantastic blooming tree! I can't believe how loaded it is.<br />And of course your Clematis posts. I want more Clematis - gobs of them. But I've lost a few and think I'm a bit gun shy now - and also need to figure out where I'd put them. They are so gorgeous!!!RainGardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14071017261791897927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3981923768479808158.post-45790955324847414522009-07-20T20:05:39.877+01:002009-07-20T20:05:39.877+01:00Great idea!
