    Hi Woo, I know I have champagne rhubarb but I'm not too sure what the others are! :scratch:
    I really like your large stumps I think I'd use them in the boarders as they are for insects & birds to peck at, you will probably get a few yummy insects living in/under those, they will make a yummy treat for the birds! :hapydancsmil:

          The logs look very effective Woo. I like the waterfall. You can't beat the sound of running water in a garden in Summer. :)

                            Wow, you have done a great job there Woo, it will look glorious in the summer with the flowers. That Phlox thing is gorgeous, I may get some of those myself. We'll need some pics when it is in full bloom of course. Give yourself a pat on the back for a job well done there x

                                Good morning Woo - now as we know I'm a very girls jobs/boys jobs type of person, so not my field, but could it be drilled out? Is there such a thing as a drill piece that could do that. I know when the men came to put in my new central heating they drilled perfectly round holes in the floorboards. Very clever :0)
