My little haven

And to finish the day off, a nice picture of my clematis

 

Hi , your doing an amazing job there! It's all looking fab, very inspiring too. Enjoy it and the family too, lots of barbies to come, I'm sure! X

 

Hi @bigbore you are doing a grand job . Your clematis is beautiful? Such a lovely colour

 

Thank you all for the kind comments, I still don't really know where I'm going with this yet I just keep making it up as I go along.
Didn't get much done this weekend as i'm also decorating the lads bedroom but I did manage to get in a couple of hours this evening





Hopefully I should get the rest of the sleepers tomorrow as i'm all out of materials now...

Next decision will be if I paint the sleepers black to get a Japanese look or leave them as they are..

What do my readers think, Black or leave as they are ????

Thanks for reading

Jamie

 

Black, like white I always find quite harsh so I would stick to an 'earthy' colour to blend in with your fences and red brick walls.

 

You're doing an amazing job bigbore! I feel really inspired to be brave and start mine... some action instead of overthinking things! Thanks for sharing your progress pics.

 

Today's plant shot for my lovely reader's

Only problem is I forgot what it is

 

So today I went to the garden centre for some paint, didn't buy any paint but came home with these



How does that happen

Also had to get some pots to do them justice





Didn't get much done on the garden due to the weather and work, but what I did get to do was finish the front face and cut off the uprights. Next job is to stain!



But did manage to get a couple of pics in from the office window

 

Love my Lilley plants

 

hello all , sorry this is taking its time but running the house with two kids whilst the boss is at work and then working nights myself leaves me very little time to get anything done. I have finally started the other side and also started to stain and seal with plastic, next job is to back fill with the soil i'm digging out for where the pond is and also where the pergola will be fitted.

 

It's coming on well Bigbore. Will you be putting steps at the front of it?

 

@bigbore, you really are doing an exceptional job in the garden, everytime you post a lovely photo I can see your progress, little & often is what I try to do! Blinking work gets in the way doesn't it....the only good thing about it is the money you recieve to spend on plants & garden equipment!
