    Is there a section on here where GC members show off their gardens?

    I just wondered because as I get to know you all I find myself wondering what your gardens are like.

    I love your wee dog. Are we going to see what your back garden looks like now?

    I very carefully sorted the rubbish, the metal was sold as scrap, the timber was used to make a shed and chopped up for firewood and the hand made bricks are neatly stacked waiting to be built in to a kitchen garden wall. The whole space is now just lawn. I'm waiting for inspiration to put in some flower beds.

    After the rubbish was sorted I had to buy in 130 tonnes of top soil to build up the level to the house. Heres a few more photos.

    Re the Dog, we have two and I'll put the photos of them in the pet section. :thumb:

    I hope this link works. http://www.gardenerscorner.co.uk/forum/showthread.php/our-two-dogs-22734.html?p=346292

    It did indeed Bob. :D

    Here's a photo from a different angle. The rubbish was an old bungalow which I demolished as part of planning permission to build a new house.

    Flippin' eck, what a coincidence! I was gonna suggest that we could have a "Garden Gallery" (sticky) where folks could post pics of their gardens. Any thoughts ?
    Cheers...freddy.
