    We moved to this house nearly two years ago now, and it was the first time I've had a little garden to work on......up until then it was just a few potted plants on decking.
    I found this forum, and you have been a godsend, answering my questions. I'm learning all the time, so thank you all!
    Anyway, here's some pics of my work so far.:)

    When we moved in the garden was.....

    Thanks for looking!:)

    Wow..you have done very well.

    I really like what you have done with the now white wall with the extra fenceing and baskets on the wall.

    Thank you all so much for your lovely comments.....they are much appreciated.:)
    OH is a carpenter so he did the fencing and I managed to persuade my son to paint the walls for me.
    One thing though.....that blinking rotary line has got to go!!
