My little haven

Well what a wet horrible morning that was, grass is down at least I don't have to worry about it not being wet enough

 

Wow, what a difference, well done you . Really good thread, I'm loving your progress.

 

well with a week of rain the grass is settling in well

 

great day today as we now have two lights wired up and working

 

That's a good quality turf you've got there!

 

been doing some finishing touches before the winter comes, The plan was to break any structure edges up by adding additional plants to them






My little one wanted to save some sunflower seeds for next year



She also decided to make a smiley face

 

Really happy with the outcome of the garden today now that i have added the gravel. It really is coming on now and looking better each time

 

It's looking good bigbore.

 

Used up the last of the sleepers and then got a load more topsoil to add to the borders,
Next job is to order another 14 sleepers to start the other side of the garden. My plan is to get that done this year and then it only leaves the pond and planting to do next year.

photos will follow as photobucket is playing up

 

@bigbore you really have done a smashing job, your garden looks fantastic, have you looked at the first photos you posted on your thread then looked at the photos from today? The transformation is fantastic

 

Many thanks for your kind words, i look back most weeks with shock as my gardening skills were second to none bar having a messy allotment in the past.. I really enjoy being out there and look forward to posting many more pictures of my projects

 

well not posted in awhile as with the wet weather most jobs are now on hold, so today i thought i would look back on the year and see how far i have come. The funny thing is the garden still looks a mess but its heading in the right direction! I can't wait for another year of fun and to post again in a years time with another look back.

So we went from this picture in January 5th 2015



To this today







Hope you all have enjoyed the journey so far

 

Hi bigbore, I've loved the journey
I used to love reading about your ideas and progress, and especially, seeing the results.
What you've done in one season is brilliant! I love the way the garden is morphing into what you, as a family, want it to be if I remember rightly you said you didn't have much gardening knowledge? ( sorry if that's incorrect ) your garden looks to be in more than capable hands
I can't wait to hear about your plans for 2016. Lots more pics would be great too

 

Thank you loki for your kind words it makes it all worth while knowing I'm on the right tracks, I also can't thank the forum enough for the knowledge it has given me
