        Here we go, 3rd attempt to upload. This is what I did this weekend, a den for the kids to play in. Its a bit imposing at the moment but once the banana, Paulownia, ferns start into growth, aswell as the bamboos, its shouldnt be that visible.

            Yesterday I moved a hellebore (which was a lot bigger than I realised!) so that I could relocate my boys' playhouse. Took down some old concrete flower blocks from a wall, to make way for some fencing. Trimmed a few bits & bobs. :smile:

              Put my blowaway outside, moved echinacae, pokers and peony out. Finally done a small raspberry patch :)

                Marked out area for raised beds, mowed lawn and shuffled a couple of pots ready for planting.

                Noticed that B&Q have sold out of their terracotta pots - so ended up going to Morrisons - who have some large ones for sale at £5 per piece.

                    Just a pallett for the base, a framework screwed together and then stapled the screening to it. It does have a waterproof roof by stapling some clear plastic to the inside so it stays dry. The kids love it, so do the dogs.

                    Just a few finishing touches needed and some more plants!

                      Ah, I see the problem ... you only ate the one but you were trying to solve two issues! I think the shortcut to the issue would be one to be eaten to solve one problem aka you should have fed it to the wife and cured two problems at once ;) :whistle:

                      And so do I!!! It's fUntastic!!! They will have hours of play in there; what a lovely Dad you are.

                        Pruned all our Salvias and Fuchsias. Repotted the pond iris.

                          After yesterday's marathon session my joints were paying for it this morning :doh:
                          But a shift at work sorted that out :snork:
                          Went around to the grandmother in laws again and potted 15 dahlia tubers and planted 100 freesia & 15 begonia tubers. Washed the outside of the GH and removed the old compost from inside.
