    It's not too bad! (you should see my picture after all the rain last year :o - I had a broken wrist too!) We've recently had fences installed to save on nosy neighbours too and the garden is coming on a treat now that we can privately potter :)

    I'm sure your garden will be a haven soon :thumb:

    Invite friends over and tell them that in return for their labour in helping put up the fence, you will provide the food and drink.

    How did you manage that you jammy so and so. I really did pay £30 quid for one only in the last few weeks so you have a small fortune there.
    You could always donate them to a poor, defenceless, sweet, loving new to gardeing orphan.. i.e. me :)

    (wonders if that will work)
