    Fork the soil area over lightly then seed it, now is the perfect time to seed as with the good temps it will soon germinate.

    Looking good so far guys.:thumb:

    Sarah you take it easy after all it's hard work telling them boys what to do and my goodness they need so much training too!:hehe:

    Its always nice to have a blank canvas to play about with, one thing I would suggest to you is to have an idea what you want to use your garden for and how much time you have to maintain the garden generally and you can't go far wrong.

    I'll look forward to your progress keep up the good work peeps.:)Hel.xxx.

    i think we are now aiming for a bamboo theme for the garden with all the fencing and the two bamboo candle things in front of the bench, we also love the look of bamboo plants, but not sure where to plant them, and how to plant them, make a little bed or border and plant it like that or dig into the grass and plant it like that?

    thinking of making a bed to the right of the black and orange sacks too, but dont know yet, if i did would like something like stones in the bed, wouldnt want it to be a raised bed though, would be for a barbecue if we made a bed, we are looking at an antony worrall thompson kettle barbecue so we can enjoy food outside in the garden
