My little haven

Today's snow picture

 

Good Morning @bigbore, looks very chilly in your garden today but you have done a wonderful job I guess today's job for the garden is snowman building? :re snowman:

I shall look forward to seeing your progress this year, I've ver much enjoyed watching your garden take shape thanks for all your photos .

 

I think you've worked very hard on it and it looks really good. You will have to keep us up to date on your progress through the year. Looks cold there today though!

 

You achieved a lot last year bigbore. Are you still thinking on a pond?

 

^^^^ I was wondering too, and what's the plans for the Japanese garden?

 

thank you, the pond is still in the planning stages and will be nothing like i first wanted, thinking it will be linked to the lawn and will be a raised sleeper pond roughly the same height.

I also think i have lost the way with the Japanese garden and am leaning towards a more tropical garden with bamboo, palms, banana plants and ferns.

But watch this space as this could change

 

Sounds good...I'll keep an eye on your progress.

 

wwwoooo hoooo shout dance let all out SPRING is here and the garden is coming alive yet again and so its time to drag this thread from the bottom of the forum and get posting again, hope your all ready for this years fun and games

Few pics of my shady border that is coming alive

 

Your gardens looking great well done, i will look forward to this years projects, keep up the good work, hope the wedding went well .

 

wedding went great thanks, was looking for a break this year with no wedding to plan, but instead i have taken on a part time gamekeeper job as well as my normal job so will be fitting in the garden as and when

 

Glad you all had a good day i am sure you will find some time for the garden and a few nice wild flowers for it on your travels

I metal detect and always on farm land i have my eye on a few plants .

 

so busy with life the garden has been left to its own devices,
today's project was to build a pallet couch for my new sitting area and i also bought some new tropical statues



the start of it



the best part when playing with wood is the burning of off cuts after



had a play with the phone to get a whole view of the garden





last minute touches

 

had a delivery of some tropical plants today, so spent the night getting them in the right positions





finally happy so in they went





my gunnera that i put in some wet ground on the shady side



the pallet couch is coming on slowly



next plan is to turn these



into a straight path from one end of the garden to the shed , this will also go over the pond

something like this





here is where it will go, on the left of the lawn



Lets see what the weather brings this weekend, looking like a wash out at the minute

 

Not a lot done due to weather and family outings, but i did manage to start on the jungle footpath





Hopefully get the other side done this week, also think i'm going to run a few wires on the underneath to connect spot lights at a later date.

This was a shot last night whilst it was raining and i was stuck indoors
