My Garden.

"how many cobs one might expect"

Only one or two per plant :(

 

Thanks Bob, it certainly hasn't been easy. But it's strange, all that hard work now seems a distant memory, I still can't quite believe it myself the changes we've made. It's a pity I don't have some pics of the garden how it was when we moved in. Anyway, as promised, some more pics......















Something 'Aunt Sally' knocked up



















I'm sorry they're not really in the right order, but hopefully you'll see the layout.
I reckon it's going to be next year now, when it all starts to come together. As they say, these things don't come overnight. Just wish I had more patience !

Its Gorgeous Freddy, I love the way you can't see all of your garden at once, and your planting is great, loads of interest there, And I see youv'e started your japanese garden at the front of your patch :gnthb: did you get any ideas yet or are you keeping us waiting :D. ..Dee..

 

DEE, a good showman never shows all his tricks at once :D
Just Kidding. Still haven't decided overall how it's going to be, but one thought is to smash out a bit of concrete and put in a climber (next to the shed). I'd like to put down some gravel (did I say that already?), but not the 'ordinary' stuff. Maybe something in white ? It's all in the melting pot really.

Hi Bob, thanks for the tip. I'll check it out :thumb:

 

Quite amazing freddie. In someways it looks something like the garden I visited yesterday. After a while i had the feeling that this garden had its own climate and somehow just being there was something special.
Check it out here if you have not already. You may get futher inspiratiion to complete yours.

I think your garden will someday have the same feeling I had yesterday with Davids and Cynthias.
Me...I have to settle with my little veg plot and I am quite happy with doing that, but I do like to look, and appreciate other peoples efforts.

It's looking really great Freddy can't wait to see it next year damn patience lol

 

what a beuitful garden freddy. I love how the path curves, and your arches. I was going to have a bamboo but everyone told me they get out of hand but i am interested in yours so will look around for one well done with the garden as it is well thought out and is really fantastic.

 

I have bamboo, there are two types, one that spreads by sending shoots underground then poping up, and the other is what I have, clump forming. It just gets fatter and fatter every year.



I was trying to figure why fred dies veg?

 

pmsl

 

I have just been looking at before and after Freddie..it is beautiful..you can see the love, and lots of hard work, that has gone into making it such a wonderful garden..you should be very proud of yourself..well done Freddie

 

Hi folks. Sorry, I missed all those kind comments, which are very much appreciated, thank you. I was sitting out there this evening drinking a nice glass of cider, and very pleasant it was too !

The seat....



The view....



Cheers...freddy.

 

Hi Freddy. This is the first time I've seen your garden, and it's wonderful. I really like the winding path and the sections it meanders through. It looks quite narrow, but then it is very long too, and every inch of it is nicely planted. It certainly has that warm and welcome appearance to it. I can see that you've put a great deal of hard work into producing something that you so obviously enjoy. Well done...

 

Thanks strawman. As you probably know, gardens take some time to get right (if they CAN ever be right) and I still have plenty to do/learn. I need to thin out/replace some of my plantings this/next year, but that's all part of the fun and learning process.

Cheers...freddy.

 

A great example of what you can do with a thin but long garden Freddie. Looks wonderful and a great oasis for you.

The winding path is much better than a straight one.
