hi, my garden is on 3 tiers, i have a hillside which during the summer minths becomes really over grown with ferns and grass and weeds (lots of weeds!) Can anyone help with what i could plant to bring some colour as it is really difficult to keep control of, it all dies off in the winter, i wanted to upload a picof it but its too big a file. thank you

Hi Newbie,

If you need to resize an Image please use something like https://express.adobe.com/tools/image-resize and then add it to this thread. It's really hard to advise when we can;t see the garden!

The more images the better!

Once you've replied with an image I'm sure the community can help.

All the best
