I pulled out a lavender in the autumn and expected it to be hard work but it was easy mine didn't have very long roots

 

Ok peeps another update on the garden, The wrought iron fencing and gates are on, they need another coat of paint and im painting the knobbly bits silver






We went out saturday with all intentions of doing some serious digging:gnthb: But after half an hour we gave up and went plant shopping :yho: this border has been dug over twice and is still full of old roots, going shopping tonight for bags of compost and chicken pellets :thumb:





And the "Lawn" where do we start, Hubs Mate is lending him a rotovator for the weekend :wink: Apparently it Throws out huge amounts of Smoke, but when it Clears you have lovely rotovated fine soil ready for your turf haha, we will see,

Look at the state of this :(

 

Loving the wrought iron it definitely looks posh now

 

Looking good, cant wait to see what happens next :D

 

:gnthb:Thanks Guys,

We went out yesterday armed with a Grass stripper and rotivator I started off digging near the raised bed area, I started digging the soil away to expose the roots from the Tree!!!

Not too bad I thought..




I tried to dig under them to get them out but the spade was hitting something much bigger and Badder :o





The Pik and the axe came out but they werent budging.. Time to call in the Big Boys..





Half an hour later the big roots are out, Job done :thumb: Time to use the rotivator and finish this garden..




Phew, were exhausted, hub done the hard work but I was his labourer and got stuck in...untill i had to do some shopping in the afternoon, I called into B&Q :D as i had read on there website that the pots i had my heart set on were reduced from £45 to £15, so i just had to check it out..There was a Guy watering the plants (I know :p) and i asked him if he would check the price out on the pots, he got his price gun, but there was no barcode on them so he said..... A fiver :yho: my sis was saying A fiver, A fiver, i was nudging her and trying to stay Cool, I said can i have the 2 sets pleas (2 pots) and he had to climb to the top of the shelve's for the second set saying, Your a Bl***y Pest :D.. So Ian from B&Q in Newcastle, If you happen to be reading this... Mwah, I LOVE YOU :luv:
