    Been working hard in garden and now grass is lovely :D

    Had to get rid of the long awful steps and gravel area as the steps was way to big and collapsing and gravel is just a litter box for cats!! but now i am enjoying the garden and the shrubs are really growing well!!!!

    :gnthb:

    my fav transformation is this :D

    Dawn - that's a wonderful improvement. That's a really good looking wall and steps. The grass is brilliant and the planting is so lush You have worked very hard and must be very proud.

    Wonderful Dawn

    And relaxing in something you have done yourself is twice as relaxing as any other sort I find. There is that deep sense of contentment around being responsible for something so lovely.

    I was wondering what had happened to your lawn. Job well done!

    errr - borders need weeding before you get the grass growing in all the plants.
