Couldn't decide which stones to choose....

so I bought them all :D

Spent the last 2 days changing this....


to this....


Okay, it's not going to win gold at Chelsea, but it was bl**dy hard work :eek:
Boy, am I aching!!!! :rolleyes:

 

Pat on the back Windy! It looks very enchanting to me. Im sure I just saw a fairy fly by!

Aw thanks Mef

ALWAYS diamonds - oh sorry first thing that came to mind when I read the topic!

 

I know what you mean Windy I have had 100 bags. I see them in my dreams. lol

Well done Windy - it looks great. Methinks a good hot soak, a glass of wine and an early night after all that hard work

 

Thanks for all the lovely comments guys I'm still sore today, but the back's not as bad!!! Just debating wether or not to plant a couple of Hostas there too???? Will I be able to keep the blasted slugs off them though??? They're doing okay in pots....ooh, I don't know...I think Hostas would look good down there and the conditions are right for them.....mmmm, but the slugs will probably have a field day...mmmm, can't decide...what does everyone think???

 

Lovely job there windy.. Well worth the back ache!!

 

As long as you make sure the leaves aren't touching any 'bridges', copper rings should work well there- worth a try.

 

Thanks Pal, I could do with someone like you to help me really though, I need a man who's good with his hands!! :D

Liz, I've put one down there still in it's pot for now, it looks rather good so I might leave it as it is.....unless I go out there tomorrow and it's been stripped of it's leaves! :rolleyes: :D

 

Well done Windy.It looks good.

 

Looks really good, Windy! Definitely pat on the back time, and reward yourself with a Stella or two!

 

Windy don't know it this will help, but I find that the slugs don't tend to chew my golden and green/white hostas - as much as the others.

 

Added a few little touches yesterday...even though I'd promised the kids I wouldn't do any gardening :rolleyes:

Still got plenty of space left to plant, just added a variegated Phormium, a Lilac flowered Hebe(for windbreak!) and a couple of white Lupins(for youngest spawn!) oh and a Hosta in a pot!!

Just this left to do now...
