Two projects to get my teeth into - and I'm new to this!

I know! I just need go and pick up the lawn mower off. That's the only problem with not having a shed. It has to live elsewhere :D

 

John, still going strong. Lovely. What is that plant that you show the before & after shots, and which changes colours too? My neighbour has a couple, he passed away a couple of weeks ago so I may ask for a cutting as a remimder of him.

cheers

 

Hi John,


Just had a good look through your pics, its amazing what you have done. You have obviously worked hard, and are being justly rewarded. But I have to disagree about the smell of creosote. I love the smell, good luck and good choices.

regards

 

along the wooden fences i would suggest investing in some trellis and having some climbers like; passion flower, cup and saucer plants, sweet peas, clematis, roses etc

 

This one? It's a Peiris (not sure of the correct spelling).


I have two, this one which is now going pale towards lime green and the second one which is now heading towards pink. I'll try and get a photo of that one when it stops drizzling. Give me a shout of you want a cutting or two.

My long term plan is to remove the front wavy fence and put a multi-tiered stone wall in it's place. Once that's in place, I'll look at more plats to climb. Some good ideas for plants though!

Really? :D I know what to send you for your birthday then. :D

More photos etc when it's dry (probably 2010...).

 

Have you cut the grass yet John?

Your garden's Amazing, even more so because your new to it all, so 10 out of 10 from me

 

The grass was cut last on Saturday. :thumb:

 

Is there a space between the back fence and the front wavey fence if so how much is the gap plz?

 

It's about a 2 foot gap. Maybe a little larger.

 

John, it just gets better & better. I know what you mean about the weather. Have you had a chance to sit out and enjoy the back garden with your candles & lights?

cheers

 

No chance as of yet, but I'm sure it won't be long. :thumb:

 

The wheelie bin store is in the bottom left of the pic u can just see the roof and the top of the doors


Is this the Wheelie bin cover Shiney. There's a pic of it fully open in Garden's Monthly. It has a wheelie bin in the right and shelves with boxes on on the left.

 

That's just what I've been thinking of! What a find. :thumb: I think I'll look into that some more.

 

The Canna Durban burst into flower yesterday. My favourite so far!

 

what a beautiful picture
