    Weather fan-tabulous, so today painted the front face of the shed, gave the sleepers another coat of black, and painted the step flag to the shed black. Weeded, watered and fed again!

          I think your wife should hire you out .... awesome job!!

          When i look at your garden, and others - i realise i really dont have a clue what i am doing here lol

          You should be extremely proud of what you have achieved - it really is something to aspire too :)

              Aww, ta guys!! :cat-kittyandsmiley: :ThankYou:

              The height will come in the shape of bamboo and Rex, (eventually) and also need some more colour,in there. I think when I'm off for 2weeks, I'll get it done. The new fence needs a paint, but I'll do that another time when the coating wears off.

              I really REALLY need to do the front garden and driveway as I haven't touched it and it's an eye sore, but that will have to wait until the funds are saved up.

                Really nice Al , I really like the colors in the last few picture , I`ve done the same mistake , start from the big border and then realise then need more color.
                Your border is fantastic , but need just few more bits of color and you will get the 10 out 10 :blue thumb:.....no joking really great

                    Thanks sal :SUNsmile: :ThankYou:

                    I love colour, whether foliage or flower, and for me, mixing different colours together works.
