Cumbrian Garden Project

I've made a start on the Pergola this last few days, dodging the rain showers !!

I painted the timber before assembly, two coats and done first to avoid trampling or also painting the plants. Here its up but still braced and the feet are not yet concreted in as I still have some trellis to paint and add at the far end to act as a screen from the houses behind, once the trellis is added I'll concrete the footings and remove the braces, then add the cross pieces along the top.

As shiney said - Wow! :thumb: It all looks fantastic, Steve, bet both of you are more than pleased with it.

Now for some good weather so that you can sit back and enjoy it all.

 

Its looking really great Steve,:thumb: get some climbing plants up that pergola and hey presto, you'll have all your neighbours green with envy!!!! :D:D:D

 

Shiney, you'd be surprised where these green eyed monsters can pop up from.:eek::eek::D:D 02

 

Steve.

You've done a crackin' job with the pergola. :D

Ant.

 

Magnificent job Steve!

You shoud be very proud of that - it looks fantastic.

 

Not exactly a neighbour but someone down the road from me is now digging out for a suken patio like ours...apparently ! And I've had so many people coming to look at the garden I should either set up a business or open for the NGS..:D

Plenty of climbers planned for this new height, all in good time as the garden is still very new, that will be a time thing.

Shiney, the plants you very kindly brought up for us are all doing well now, strong and healthy and doing their thing and no losses so far.

Every day is an adventure, to go out and see what is happening or about to happen next.

Steve, what can I say? That is brilliant. I really like the fact that nearly all of it is made with re-cycled stuff too.

Reckon you and Anne will have time to sit out this year, if the blooming rain every stops!

Well done,

 

The pretty bit, still a very young garden, but coming along nicely.











The pergola still needs some timbers accross the top, that can wait till I have found some...the basic structure is there now.

Steve...

 

More pretty stuff, pots this time :D











Steve...

 

just read the thread from start to finish and Wow.......that is a lot of hard work you have put in and in such a short time too.
absolutely beautiful.

If you ever run out of things to do, please let me know and I will give you my list.

 

Very interesting thread, and lovely lovely work! The garden promises to be a real jewel in a few seasons!
