    Hey WOO. Is that your patch? Do what all lazy, sensible gardeners do. DO NOTHING. It is great. Maybe stand a potted palm on the square to the left. A lady palm should do it. [​IMG] :D

    Woo,if it was me I would turf it,as you get an instant effect and you don't have the battle of weeds growing and the lawn looking patchy where some of the seed is missing.Turf is more expensive but I would have it compared to seed any day,but that is just my personal opinion.It is all looking great [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Hi there my super WOO - well done some more [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Now, here's a thought. (Yeah, right, as if I know about gardening [​IMG] ) As I hate grass, and if this was my garden, I would have a go at something different. Maybe a camomile lawn - doesn't that sound nice. I think there are other things you can grow instead of grass which don't need so much looking after and they smell good too.

    You know me - I'd have it all done in astroturf - but then I'm a sadist when it comes to grass. [​IMG]

    I know Woo it's so very hard to actually sit out in ones own garden because you always can "see" things that need doing :( Sometimes it's things that only bother you too!

    Hi There friends I was driving past an old church this morning and Lo and Behold there was this Reclamation Firm taking down this gate I just had to have It don't know why It just felt right
    So after haggling a bit and a bit of Banter It was mine for the princely sum of �£10 Now I have to take one of the pillars down so the gate fits.
    But what the Heck In for a penny In for a pound I have my Gate. :D

    Thats a lovely gate Woo the centre looks like 2 peacocks facing each other, got yourself a bargain make sure you oppose the hinges when you hang it so it can't be nicked.
