My Garden - Photo's

Hi all,
It was my son's Christening yesterday and I thought I'd take some photo's before all the kids decided to wreck the garden (they actuall y wern't too bad, and apart from my brother thinking it funny to take home one of my hanging baskets, there was no damage).

Seating/BBQ area:


Border 1:


Shed/Storage box:


Rose corner:


Rose corner 2 (and Buddlea):


Border 2:


Path:


Border/greenhouse:






Greenhouse corner:


Part shade bed:


Most of the plants in the borders are sunflowers and Dahlias (and some viola's). Apart from a few bedding plants I bought at the garden centre to fill the gaps, all were grown from seed or bulbs. The gaps in the part shade bed are to be filled by some foxgloves I bought online, they have yet to arrive.

I will post some more photo's when the flowers decide to make an appearance.

Happy gardenening!!!

 

Lovely garden you have there Bashy really nice and very neat too surely you don't have children playing in the garden? it looks unplayed with territory if you ask me! You have done a brilliant job so well done to you.:thumb: Hel.xxx.

 

Hi Bashy, thanks for posting the pics. What a lovely garden you have. Another that seems to have different areas. I must be soooo boring. Anyway, apart from your brother lol, how did the day go? I hope you & o/h enjoyed it as so often when 'hosting' these things can mean you don't. I know when I had my son blessed I was more concerned about everyone else and there were only about 10 people there!

Your garden does you credit, looks very 'green' if you know what i mean.

cheers

 

Thanks for the kind comments hel and borrowers. Yes, the day went really well. He didn't cry once and everyone had left by 6.30pm.

You're right Borrowers, I have no other kids apart from my 5 month old, so the garden had it's first look at kids running all over the place. The lawn looks a bit trodden, but it will pick up in a few days.

 

Lovely garden Bashy, I love seeing other peoples gardens, it gives you ideas for your own, which you might not of thought about, and that lawn is so perfect it looks like a carpet.:D:thumb: 02

 

Beautiful garden Bashy,so neat and tidy,wish mine looked like that!

 

:thumb:What a neat plot you have Bashy!!!.Very impressed

 

Thanks everyone. It's taken the last 2 months of hard work. Nearly cost me my marriage ;-)

 

What a lovely garden! Looks a big one with all your different areas. Glad to hear the christening went well, we had my daughter's in February. 50 people in one house = chaos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! x
