Garden changes

you've done a wonderful job of that - it looked hard work too

Well done Cinders, it has completely transformed that corner for you, I have some old conifers down my garden near my bottom pond, they are stopping too much light from that area but so far I haven`t plucked up the courage to remove them (sigh)

Well, I must say most of the hard work was done for me, Lincslass, I am very lucky that I have a lovely friend who is so willing to help out on these jobs. Without him I would never have got that done. But it has let in so much light, and looks much neater now.

Thanks Paul, its been a long time coming !!

what a lovely little arbour you have made; i think thats exactly what a garden is for! sitting and enjoying!!

it looks brilliant, well done, and lots more room

Thank you Sticki for your lovely comments. Perhaps I will sit out more when the weather gets better,

Thanks Yorks, it definitely seems more roomy, and I can move the little table out and put my loungers in there now if I want to.

thinking of lying down on the job now, you won't get any gardening done whilst sunning yourself, Lol

I know, but won't it be lovely

make sure you choose a nice warm day before donning the bikini

I will. It will have to be in the nineties for that.

Interesting set of pics....
...Added to some GoYpedia categories :o)

Thanks TT, and thanks for adding them to GoYpedia

Lovely before & after pics, Cinders, and the garden looks lovely now. I imagine painting all that trellis was a very fiddly job? The new Clem and Rose are a pretty good height already. : o )

It looks fabulous, what a cosy little corner it has turned into, great blog well done, like the pictures before and after.

Thanks Shirley, actually I dont think you can see the rose yet, it is only about six inches high, but what you can probably see is a pot with Hosta that is stood on there at the moment, and all the other pots are only temporary, but if I dont put something there the next door cat uses it. I have some more Heuchera on order that will be going round the front. The rose is growing well, it is a pink Gertrude Jekyll given me for my birthday.

What a difference, you have made an excellent job, will be even better when the plants are covering the trellis, well done Cinders.

Thank you Oliveoil, I am quite pleased with how it has turned out. The right side of the garden will be dug up and replanted when flowering has finished.

Thank you Dd, glad you like it. Will soon be coming to see yours now.

What a lovely corner you've created, so much prettier than that boring conifer. Sometimes it takes a lot of imagination and courage to change things so radically. I bet you're glad you took the plunge! Well done. :o)

Thanks Lily, yes I am so glad that I found someone willing to take it down for me. Its so much lighter now.

Oops, should have gone to Specsavers! I don't believe you've ordered more Heuchera ... lol! The pink rose will look lovely before too long. : o )

what a difference cinders, i love it, a nice seating place now and once you have your climbers established will be even better ;o))

Shirley, the Heuchera I want is a light green. I have one in the other bed and it lights up the corner so I thought it would be nice to have one there as well, so there is some colour for the winter to look out on. But I have loads of baby Heuchera in other colours.

Thanks San, I have a place for one the other side of the arbor/pergola. I'm quite excited about getting it all sorted for the summer.

looks lovely, great seating area

Thanks Elsie, how are you.

Great transformation Cinders, The tree needed to go. i dont envy you painting the trellis but you have done an amazing job it all looks gorgeous now..

Your welcome Cinders you derseve nice comments

:o))

You have done a great job Cinders

Thank you Sue

Thats very nice comments Hb. thank you

Goodness Cinders....it's all looking so spruced up and inviting. I can understand why you'd want to be rid of the old tree and what a transformation.

I'm sure you'll find the space much more practical for relaxing after working in the garden or doing your other chores around the house. Now all we need is some lovely sunshine and warm weather. I've put my order in....how about you?

Enjoy your "new" space :)

I remember about the tree and must say you've done a great job ! I hope you have many nice cuppas on the table now it's in its new position :) You deserve them after all your hard work.

Jacquie thank you for your lovely comments, it is definitely an improvement isnt it. I have ordered some sunshine, it will be coming this weekend I hope.

Hywel thank you to you too. I am looking forward to enjoying my cuppa's out there.

I can't believe the difference! It must have been a very tough task to get that tree removed - but well worth it. I bet you're delighted you did it! :-)

Thanks Spritz. I certainly am glad. It was hard work, but as you say, well worth it.

I love the changes you`ve made Cinders. I can see its been hard work but really worth it. That tree certainly was big and I can see why it had to go! :o)

Thanks Sandra,

That looks lovely Cinders, that new seating area looks really cosy, wouldn't mind doing that in my garden! well done!

Only just seen this Cinders,as you posted the day I went away..It looks absolutely beautiful..and I remember the conifer too..what a difference,and such a lovely place to sit ..well done..:o)
