My garden project

The older two have been told not to touch plants unless I tell them too as some will make them ill (they dont touch any of the plants ).
Elliot (my youngest) wants to help water and dig so i have to keep an eye on him .
They cannot get to the Ricinus without going through the gate and we dont use the front door so its well out of harms way .
I see what you mean though to someone who dosent know what they are its a disaster waiting to happen! :(.

 

Hat's off to you, that is one big task, and I think I would have been scratching my head for some time. A lot of concrete but you have some good ideas for using the space, and pots are always great to give a splash of colour wherever looks a little bare!

 

Left hand bottom border (shrub needs cutting back Again :.



Looking over the shrub

Looking really good!! All that effort is really paying off now. Bet it makes you feel good!!

 

Hi floydie-pink...what plant have you got in the brown plastic pot, picture before the last? Well done anyway...

 

The one in the fenced bed??
That would be a Ricinus impala/ grown from seed as an annual in this country (unless you have somewere to over winter them).
They are highly toxic so if you have pets/children grow them somewere out of reach (why i have them in the front and one in the fenced bed were they cannot be got to).

Im happy with the gardens progress now :D but im still not done .
Im digging a side shrub border and still have to front to finish (slow process).

Sorry about all the rubble/bags and the shelf its still like a building site as you can see.

 

You have achieved such a lot in such a short time. Well done you!

Looking forward to seeing how it progresses as you expand your beds!

Love the pink and white dahlia, what is it called please?

 

I wish i knew but it dosent seem to match any of the names i have. Its from T&M raspberry riot mix.
I'll try and find the lable tomorrow . You do mean the one in the fenced bed??

 

Fantastic project you have done well.

 

Thanks.
Are you the same Scotkat from GW?? :D

 

Wow!! Very nice indeed considering what you started with! I am extremely impressed!!

 

Just shows what can be done in 7 months doesnt it :D.
Its been lots of hard work but now i can walk round and think I did this :D.
