Its the spam filters, they sometimes throw a wobbly.

Project coming along nicely there

 

Thank you muchly, is it going to do that everytime I post??

 

That definitely isn't the easiest of gardens to work on, and you certainly show a great keenness, along with some interesting ideas. Your good lady must be very happy with the results.

 

I am the good lady .
Im not planning on doing anything with the paveing and bricks in the back for a while (It will be far too much work for me to take on right now) my main task is to plant up the main beds and get them looking something like.
I have lots of weeding to do again now (grass and millions of baby dandilions popping up in the beds) once i (hopefully) get these out i have more plants to go in in a few weeks time .
In the front i have started smashing out the paveing but havent got any further than whats in the pic, i have shrubs to go in here and plan to make a path running through them .

Both the house and gardens as very much a BIG work in process, being a late 1930s/ early 1940s house and having alot of its original features.

 

The bank is filling up now .



Some of the flowers thats bloomed over the past week or so.









Ricinus Impala



Looking on to the garden from upstairs

Beth's garden



Veggies we pulled today

 

You've achieved a lot since you started Floydie-Pink. It's looking great.

 

Looking good for all the effort! I don't envy you all that pavement..... Guess the previous residents didn't like mowing! I have to tell you that ricinus is quite poisonous since I see you have small children and dogs.

 

Yes i know very much so! I have it in the front garden (Were the kids or dogs are not allowed to go/play) just to be safe.

Thankyou all its coming on now still lots to do but its better :D.

 

Just being safe. Kids like to imitate grown-ups and since you are growing veg..... well you never know. They might decide to sample other bits growing in the garden.
