Yvonne's Nectar Haven - Work in progress

Thanks Fern, I'm aching today, I would give anything for a massage

 

I wish you well in your new venture and hope you and the insects/bugs get what they all want and that is a new place to feed and live for their short time with us. May all you plants thrive and your enjoyment swell over time.

 

Well folks, the concrete the is banished! Two skips and some serious family teamwork later and this is the garden today. I have put down a membrane for now to manage the muck the dog will walk into the house. Next step, having the path and patio laid with limestone.

 

It's coming on nicely Yvonne.

 

Thank you Landi and Sheal for your lovely encouragement

There you go Spruce, Megan simultaneously testing out the comfort of the new bed whilst chewing her bone :-) I can't wait to get the plants in now too, so many of them are pot bound, its a job just keeping them alive!

 

oh its s golden cocker spaniel I had two that colour April and Harvey

 

she is a new addition to the family, only had her 5 months, she came from the Cocker and Springer spaniel rescue in Stoke. Very big personality

 

they are more sensitive then the black colour when you brush them I had to use softer brushes on them , her luck turned around getting you as her new owner , good on you Yvonne

Ok, update time, it's been a very busy few weeks. The landscapers finished laying the new stone, here is a view from above so you can get an idea of the layout.
