8 comments


Finally took a few pics of some parts of my garden, which im sure you can see still needs some work done to it but it is a vast improvement from what it was when we started.

excuse the mess and the washing but at least it gives a quick glimps on how far we have got so far and soon when it all starts filling out and all flowering you’ll be able to see it at its best…

Lol. I love the name Biggles...
you are right to be chuffed with your achievements...

Its lovely to see how things are progressing and Biggles obviously looks happy with things so far. The patio seating area looks great, and you`ve established some nice planting.

Looks like you are having fun designing and planting, good luck with that springer spaniel in your garden, you will need it. lol. lovely dogs but very hairbrained, well mine are. But they always say the dogs take after their owners don't they! lol.

i think its great over three levels,dont know why but i love gardens that slope,and i like your little lilac tree,ive looked all over and cannot dind one at all,love the dog too

im glad its all on different levels as i can then do them in sections it doesnt seem so hard a job to do. when im doing things in the garden im always also throwing biggles ball for him hes 2 and a half and very playfull. my lilac tree was given to me by my nan as she was thinning out some flower beds. she has a fantstic garden i tnd to quickly rush out and buy some more plants if shes coming round try to improve mine in some way lol.
so far we have the top level as the seating area with honeysuckle climbing up the pergola to give us some privacy from next door, the scond area my husband built in a barbeque (so its away from kids) and the washing lines there so it doesnt interupt my sun, with a few flower beds. leading down to the second area we have a strip of grass (well nearly seeds were put down so its still a bit patchy) with a long flower bed which im making even wider this year and a few other smaller ones with a big buddlia bush (excuse spelling) to give privacy from the othe neighbour. Then on the third level we have chloe (my step daughters) playa area with big pots which im waiting to be in flower and a fenced off pond on the side. and finally the bottom of the garden is a bit mix and match at the mo all the fruit trees dotted around apple, pear, cherry, duo plum and a kiwi fruit starting to grow up the fence. leading to a small veg plot which behind it has a climbing rose. theres also a big flower bed which im just popping things in occassionally to see if they survive lol.
