thanx carol, its gone mad with all the sunshine,, im now wondering what i can add next lol, think baz is going to make my arch soon ;o))

Great he's quite andy at making things is'nt he.

thats what he has always done carol, woodwork and maintance of any kind really, im lucky, never had a bloke who was handy before, did it all myself ;o)

Snap with doing it myself :o))

it looks great Sandra

thanx eileen, glad you think so ;o))

Fantastic Sandra. I like the way you've cut into the grass with your border. I was thinking about doing this couple of weeks ago. Still might yet! lol
What used to be down the path side of the grass near the house? Your grass has a darker ziggy section or is it the camera?

thanx steve think its a shadow, the border is raised, baz made it with farmers posts, they are stronger than on a roll as you can make them longer, are hammered in one by one about 12" deep, then lined with plastic to protect from rot, took him ages but its strong to hold all the soil and plants, ;o))

He's a good lad is Baz. Doesn't look raised from this angle! How raised is it?

its about a ft steve just enough, we did it because it got flooded along that side so would have been a nightmare for plants in winter and rain,

Good idea. I have mine on a slope. Highest being the fence to drain down to channel in the border!! Better drainage i thought!

if you look at my first pics think page 32 you can see it when first in.

Just seen it. Looks really good. The boy done good!! lol

lol thanx steve, he is good when i need big jobs doing but hates gardening lol

Send him my way in winter to do my raised bed! lol. Actually, he can come down with you when you do my pond!! ;-)))) lol

lmao,, ok will tell him hahaha

hee hee

Your garden looks really good San. It has been great seeing all the different pics etc you've put up during the transformation:~))

You should be proud of all you`ve achieved Sandra, you`ve worked so hard and have a lovely garden to show for it. :o)

What a lovely garden, I know you and Baz have worked hard in it and it shows! Great to see such a transformation.

thankyou so much katnip, its all been worth it, im loving just sitting and watching more now ;o))

Looking brilliant San and a testament to the hard work and dedication you have put in over the last year. Well done....you should be rightly proud:o))

aww thankyou so much Dan, iv enjoyed every minute, even with the tears and tantrums with my pond haha

What a great view you`ve given us Sanbaz, I can get your pond and other pics you`ve shown in prospective now and its all come together great. But I`ve just a sneaky feeling that the long border is going to get wider. Why is it that we just have to have that extra plant?.lol.:o).

lol stroller, trouble is the side border is a raised bed ;o( so would be difficult if i make another border along side it, would make it hard to get at for weeding etc, maybe the other side would be better lol, never enough plants haha

look's very beautiful,I like your garden.

thankyou so much Drfadi ;o)
