Stilly, your nice list of different peppers interested me very much. My husband will probably know them, but by African names! I think peppers are decorative as well as tasty. I'm intending to grow my tomatoes just outside the greenhouse on the south side. I've had some success in the past with outdoor varieties before. So that will leave the inside of the greenhouse for the peppers and aubergines. I think I heard that they don't mix with tomatoes because of their different requirements for humidity. Andrea, I think your new garden resembles mine in many ways, quite a bit to remove before planning new things. I dug out several plants/shrubs which aren't to my taste. But before putting in your little apple tree, I wonder if you'll need to replenish the soil a great deal if elephant grass previously grew there? David Austin roses are ACE, as you say, repeat flowering but with all the charm of the Old Roses (including stunning perfume) Your design plans sound beautifully cottagey and picturesque, just the style I like! Can't wait for Spring to come, and I can get delving!
