Dog Kennel Garden

The Dog Kennel Garden has been one of my more artistic gardening efforts. The kennel itself is an heirloom, and the small rockery next to it actually has some little conifers planted amongst the craggy rocks.

Compulsory Conifers

I'm not very good with conifers, so to encourage me web-master would send birthday money to purchase compulsory conifer plants. I've tried to choose really blobby shaped ones. But slow growing, please!

Grasses originally planted by the kennel have been dug out in disgrace - they grew too big too quickly. Now I'm dreading the results of some Angelicas which have merrily self seeded and filled the gaps with their offspring. Eek!

Not a Proper Rockery

So this isn't exactly a proper rockery, with cute little cushion plants. But neither was it a proper dog kennel, though dear old Taj-Dog spent some of his first Moosey days inside it.

Now I simply can't fit any more conifers in. Perhaps the next birthday money could be spent on - ahem - some new roses? Not that I've got anything against conifers...
