My garden in its first year

Hi all
I am now able to post pics so have posted a few of my garden as it was to start with and how it is progressing. I just hope I have posted in the correct section.

Before




New pond dug and sleepers built up. It is semi raised and just over three feet deep. New shed in place and border roll added on left and a border on the right. (I am currently making this larger) also turf laid.



Water feature, filter and 'Monkey' in position.




Paul Hariot water lily. This flowered all through the summer. I was really pleased with this plant.



This Yellow Monkey Musk was also great value and flowered from May to September. I have taken seeds from it and currently have them growing on my widow sill.



A rather large visitor



Thanks for looking!

 

Wow what a difference a year makes, I like it a lot. You've done really well!

 

Thanks for you comments.

@ARMANDII, they did mention you.

 

I would say the hardest job was digging over every square inch of soil before laying the new turf and that funny little walk digging my heels in made my calves ache something terrible.

 

@Outlander
Totally agree with the above comments ....Now that really is a job well done

 

Superb outlander. You must be delighted. Well done

 

Hi @Outlander ...my god mate you have made it beautiful ....just like your relaxing corner up the top...add a nice parasol that would look the thing also

Knock your neighbours door on the right of the pic and tell them to get their act together

 

Ha ha, you should see the garden next to that one

Anyway, just for you @Gail_68

 

@Outlander very smart mate ...i can't understand some folk

 

That’s really lovely, you’ve done a great job.

 

@Gail_68 Let's just say they have a lovely flowering sofa bed and some gorgeous Biffa bins.

 

What a brilliant job you have made of your garden @Outlander. A lot of hard work, but it has really paid off, and the bottom of the garden must be such a lovely spot to relax in next to the pond. Well done!

 

It's lovely, a real credit to you @Outlander . Well done. It's very satisfying isn't it when you achieve something and can look at it and say ' I did that ' .
