    Hi
    I was going to update the orgininal thresd but all the photos are gone so I thought I would start a new thread.

    Here's what the garden looked like last autumn

      Well that's a vast improvement! How's the polytunnel working for you?

      Would be nice but to be honest don't find a lot of time :heehee: what with the plot and the tunnel and Chopper sitting in the garden is a rare luxury.

      I did a bit of an update on the tunnel on the Chopper's polytunnel thread, I wouldn't be without it now Loofah.

                    To be honest there was not a lot of planning done, anything that wasn't up to a good enough standard to sell out the front
                    [​IMG]
                    I plopped in the border just to fill it up this year. The whole bed will need to be dug over again in the autumn so I can structure it a bit more.

                    but it does look nice and cheerful :)
