Really chuffed to see the transformation all in one place; just goes to show how much hard work you put into transforming a very non-descript, and difficult, area into a very colourful, stunning, welcoming, "WOW!" garden People walking past must really do a double take!

Bravo!

I hope you feel very proud of yourself

 

Just a quick question: did you paint your pots green?

Thank you @"M" I am really chuffed with it, few thing need to be moved as I just shoved them in to bulk it out..the pots are from wilkos, my new favourite shop! 12inch ones were £1.50 I think. Loads of people have commented on it, even had one woman shout from a car "Oooh lovely flowers babe!" We normally have an annual front garden competition but for some reason there's been no letter of who's won this year... think someone's jealous ha!

 

Well, here's what I think ...

 

back garden.. still no fence and don't think I'll get one anytime soon, xmas coming and I just haven't the funds so willow screening will have to do next year not putting it up before winter..bit silly, had bamboo before and it lasted 2 years, would have been longer if I didn't have the dog at the time. Put up a arch with 4 clematis planted and made 2 strawberry beds either side of the steps..15/9/16


started doing a border right around the grass..will be one the other side too 16/9/16


was this wide to begin with.. by back fence...

then it went this wide with some arm twisting from @"M"



from back bedroom


it's too wet and raining all day , kiddies are home from school with coughs and snobs so no play for me.

 

Get well soon wishes for the kiddies (it's horrible when they are under par, isn't it)

You're going great guns there, Lindz - be careful with your back, digging is hard work!

 

Thank you, no it's not nice but having them home for films and cwtches (cuddles) all day is

My back is buggered, constantly on painkillers anyways! Little one gave me SPD and haven't been right since so yes I am bit naughty digging all this by myself but mr linz has no interest

 

Neither does Mr "M" but, if he wants a quiet life, he knows that *this* project manager knows best

Enjoy your films and lots of cwtches with the kids (best medicine)

 

You've worked hard on your front garden Linz and it looks a real treat. Now we'll wait and see how your back garden develops. Give your back a good rest over this coming winter and hopefully you'll be ready to go next spring.

 

Thank you @Sheal still got that strip of grass on the right to turn over, it's dry today so gonna get out there to finish it off, lay some manure and compost over it and cover with cardboard and thick plastic. I'm sure morning frost is gonna come in soon with us so need to get it done ..then I might have a rest

 

one side done, dunno if I can be bothered to dig up the other side yet..

 

Then don't; it isn't a race you know
Only dig up what you can cope with in terms of weeding, plants/planting, weeding, watering in, weeding, seedlings, weeding, mulching and ... weeding
