Actually, it was tremendously hard to find black leaved things which were happy to grow - I had a lot of trials. But the black elderflower, oh wow was he a performer. (Think I may need to get another one for my shoebox courtyard.) I ended up cheating a little, and introducing red-stemmed plants to make up some of the black contingent, which worked a treat. <br /><br />Good and bad that you are working so hard - I suspect, as one perfectionist to another, that you rather love having too much on your plate?? xx Glamour Dropshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12651174250292927988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6383907926280689006.post-55688059525324421132013-01-30T08:09:30.452-08:002013-01-30T08:09:30.452-08:00Beautiful photos Janelle and I am loving your tour...Beautiful photos Janelle and I am loving your tour concepts.

Remember very well the parterre gardens at Villandry with the cabbages many years ago. Beautiful and edible at the same time! Our veggie garden is thriving despite heat and storms but doesn't look beautiful as the tomatoes have got a bit out of control. We're now eating tomatoes, zucchini (have to catch and pick them before they bolt into cricket bats), cucumbers, lettuce leaves, rocket, Hungarian capsicums and of course lots of the herbs like basil, oregano and sage. Soon french beans. In amongst the tomatoes the nasturtiums are spreading and flowering.<br /><br />Love the Valentino flower and garden designs, so wonderful. His new (I guess not so new now) designers are so original and talented.<br /><br />Take care and don't over-work! Hope it's all going well.<br />Warmest wishes, PamelaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6383907926280689006.post-87724949152135468082013-01-30T02:10:47.610-08:002013-01-30T02:10:47.610-08:00Janelle, don't work too hard, we want you fres...Janelle, don't work too hard, we want you fresh and happy on those tours!<br />The Valentino collection is beautiful, it makes you believe in couture.<br />Thank you for the update on what is happening on the garden scene for this year.<br />Carolyn Boehm's vision for her garden and the execution of it, is amazing.Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09537466034231841180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6383907926280689006.post-82474827698870781622013-01-30T02:06:47.870-08:002013-01-30T02:06:47.870-08:00Heidi, I don't know what happened to your comm...Heidi, I don't know what happened to your comment, so have reposted it from email. <br /><br />Thanks so much for this lovely and insightful note.

So much to comment on. I love th...Fab post Janelle. So much to comment on. I love the idea of Carolyn Roehm's traditional garden - I really want to put one of those enormous tall and skinny date palms into my front garden that Victorian houses traditionally had in South Australia. I believe that to get the size you have to find a farmer with one on their property, who is amenable to you digging it up and craning it to Adelaide for a hefty fee. At the moment, it's in the too hard/ expensive basket. <br /><br />Love the Black and White garden, I cut out an article in the Australian a month ago about one. Depth in a garden is so important, even if you don't do a strict colour scheme, shadow/ depth is very important, just the same as in interiors. <br /><br />Love picking gardens, I think if you love flowers in your house (as I do), you need somewhere that isn't strict geometry and hedging and grows all the pretties. Otherwise you spend a fortune at the greengrocer's buying them ($5 per Peonie, have yet to see any dahlias). Well done on all your hard work with the tours - they'll be such a success. xx <br />HeideJanelle McCullochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16006727386237836016noreply@blogger.com
