Been looking @this Far end of Path for a while now &thinking its got to go has no use & is Ugly :/ Could`nt dig up 8inch thick concret So i had a IDEA! il Place soil on top &plant Flowers ect close to the paths edge which will grow over the Soil & cover it :)so i started 2 Dig Up Grass on the right side
Then made a start on Left side
Nearly there so i kept going haveing breaks here&there of course :)
It looks so much better now its gone,Im going to Plant a Rosemary in here along with Elephants Ears close 2 the Ivy iv already put in :)
Got Bluebells,Whitelion Head Daffs o &much more from other boaders that need their plants splitting :)

Oh nice Jacque...keep us updated with more photos and thoughts as you go along. I enjoy nothing more than seeing how people transform their gardens. Usually I'll get some gardening ideas in the middle of the night when I can't sleep for some reason. LOL If I don't jot it down I forget them by the next day. ;-)

Yes I can see the soil looks really rich and loamy . Your plants should do well there. - How exciting !!

I agree - looking good, Jacque!
Just a word of caution - don't forget it's still there and try to dig a big hole to plant something....you will jar your whole body, let alone your arms!

Good idea Jacque, again well done! Post some pictures next year so we can see how it evolves!
I agree with Dee, I am so glad to read that I am not the only one who suddenly gets inspired with an idea and wonders why on earth I never thought of it before when it is so obvious!!

dah dah and the path disappears, great idea jacque, it looks miles better, funny how something can bug you for ages, then suddenly an idea comes into your head from nowhere, i do it a lot, then wonder why i never thought of it before...a big urn in the middle (on the hidden path) would look great and give it height.. Again great idea....Dee..
