FIRST YEAR

GARDEN

Na new garden the first summer should teach n. great many things to the novico. A bright show of colour from the annuals, and a perennial flower border that seemed full of promise, oven 11 it did not quito come up to ex- · pectations, were possibly the greatest of the summer's suc-

cesses.

And as they pass into winter sleep the garden becoinca once again the same old dreary waite that it was in the spring.

This was inevitable, for the plants that make a garden worth Inspection all the year round are mostly those plants that take time to develop—the evergreens and the climbers.

There are ways, however, in which the young garden of one or two sum- mers can be given a rather more mature appearance, and that is by the Introduction of a few additional features such as pergolas, or à formal pool, or a rock garden.

Now, before the seed entalogues arrive, is the time to consider such problems and to remodel gardens where the design has been found un- satisfactory.

Remember

Nall garden planning, amall or large. the first rule is to study the house- hold.

Pirat Uere are their special interests. Did the children complain last summer that there was "nowhere they could throw a ball"? Did mother grumble because there was "never a spot of shade in the whole garden "7

Dla you yourself perhaps feel that the lawn was far too big, and took all your time so that you would never be able to manage the borders as well? Or did you feel that a small rego- table plot in which you could grow a few tomatoes and lettuces would have been a good idea?

Do They Wear? ANOTHER point to consider a bow

the garden is wearing.

I mean, are the paths st#1 quite level and weed free? Has the gravel lifted, or the paving sunk in places?

Were the paths wide enough for comfort? As a rule four feet is the minimum width for comfortable walk, ing, except when a narrow rocky path leads up and, down the slopes of the rock garden.

If you laid gravel, and it has lifted or sunk, it would be a good plan to fork it over now, re-toll it well, and coat the surface with one of the com- mercial tar preparations which can be applied cold. These are easier to use than hot tar,

Work-Saving

You will have had time, during the

first year, to realise just how much or how little Inbour your ran really spare for the garden work.

If your eyes were bigger than your strength you might now substitute either orchard fruits or tirub borders for some of the flower beds, or lessen the amount of lawn, or páralbly fa- ercase the lawn area and invest in a small motor mower,

A jobbing gardener one day a work will manage quite large area of orchard trees or grass for you, and Auch work can often better be en- trusted to hired help than can the care of the bordera or rock garden.

To convert the formal beds that were full of annuals into rose garden is another way to save labour.

Another very labour-saving device is to do away with all grass edge cutting. Where the grass meets a border, the simplest way la to lay narrow paving stones flush with the grass, between the grass and border.

·Great advantage of this is that when herbaceous plants creep over the barler edge, as pinks arid nubrietła do, you can cut them back as desired with... ·

out leaving a bare or yellow patch on the lawn.

Where grass meets a gravel path, n ling of bricks set on end and level with the grass surface, like a tow retaining wall, makes a labour-saving finish. There is a further advantage in doing away with the grass edge, especially If you employ a jobbing gardener.

After six months of constant edge trimming there was hardly any path left: it had been gradually cut away, an inch at a time, to keep a sharp edgel

Colour Planting

NOT only will the design of a nearly

new garden be altered. With the wizdom of a season's experience, colour planting for permanent effects should be practicable,

Where you need a border or bed of soft tones, you can plant grey follaged subjects such as mantolina and senecio and southernwood, with mauve eat- mint, Invender and pansies, and blue anchun, monkshood, Irla, luplas and delphiniums,

Touches of some bright contrasting colour are useful, and you could plan to add groups of gladioli in orange. reach or acarlet, or to sow some of the wonderful range of clarkins and godetian in groups.
