    Thanks, HB! But, nope, that's where we have one cold frame, and some open space, where the second cold frame will go. Having a M-I-L living with me means she has her own bits, green-house and garden!

    I don't think I'll EVER have an after photo - just lots of durings!! :rolleyes:

    rather than a diagram, here's a photo that looks back through the cottage garden, towards the greenhouses, taken today, so you can see everything is still bursting out all over......

    Hiya, dendro ... I like the curve on the fence toward the arch, nice touch, and it's looking nice and colourful ... probably due to your spot of rain no doubt! [​IMG] If you get any spare, can you whoosh it my way, please :D What do you plan to put over the arch?

    So you really have been hard at work in the garden, Nathan! Looks great! And such a difference! Time to move to a new place?? :rolleyes:

    LoL - we have a clematis (evergreen, early sensation, on each side, and a climbing rose on each side too, one side a yellowy one (don't know which, mn-law got it last week), and a pink one, a Delbard rose, can't recall the name at the moment. Maybe next year it'll look like there's something there! ;)

    Looks good Nate, has a proper family feel not like my self indulgent foliage fest. Nervous about you seeing mine this week, must get out and tidy it tomorrow. Those conifers give you lots of privacy I bet, I would rather have them than not. I have a couple of brand new composters if you are interested for your garden. I ran out of room and planted a bamboo in their place. :rolleyes:

    Love it, Nathan, what a transformation. I bet you're really proud of it. Is that a summerhouse? It's wonderful looking and everything's so green. I'm so-oo jealous as we're so dry here and don't expect any of the wet stuff for four/five/six months now.

    A truly beautiful transformation! :D
