We had to take down a very big conifer , it left a large area without grass and a tree stump to disquise , we built the bed up round the stump and regrassed up to it , this is what we have done with it for the moment , it might change in the future when we've had more time to think about it .......

Thanks Yorkshire , Dawn it's a bird bath about 4ft tall knocked down from £85 to £25 in a sale it's so heavy and weighs a ton probably why nobody else had bought it they couldn't carry it home .......

Wow Amy what a wonderful bargain, I met a friend today who had been to a garden centre here and got a black granit table, was well over £100, she paid £10, we are going there in the morning, apparently they are closing down, they have been named best garden centre for years, sold out and A,,,,, bought it, ruined it which is so sad,

Golly that was a bargain Yorkshire , I would get down there early if I were you , let us know if you get any bargains , I love it if I get a bargain it makes my day ..LOL...

That was so cheap Amy, how brilliant to be there just as the right time.
York: The granite table sounds great too, good luck tomorrow, hope you get one.

Amy, being nosey now. What's the plants growing up the tree - is this one of your clematis?

Amy that looks really nice, clever idea and a bargain too, lucky you.

I was in the right place at the right time Dawn lucky for me , yes it is a Clematis ' Lincoln star ' it's actually reached the top of that tree this year ...
Thanks Dd i'm glad you like it , you can see from the fresh new green grass on the pic how big an area the tree covered ......

Thank you Carole and Michaella i'm pleased you like it , we couldn't decide what to do to hide the tree stump and wanted to get on with it , I think it's worked quite well .. :o)

I love this, not just for what it covers, but its a great focal point yet leads you to the rest..this is definitely one for my favourites!

Thats very kind of you Tetrarch , I wasn't sure if we had done the right thing but after reading your remarks I will leave it exactly as it is ... :o))

Thanks for the clematis ID Amy. Nice to see its happy there.
28 Sep, 2010
Thanks for the compliment Amy but the biggest thing Im most expert at is knowing Im not! However, Im not frightened of sticking my toe in the water, after all if you learn something by making a mistake you gain something!
Well, thats wot me mum said anyway!

Your mum was right Tetrarch , but mums always are aren't they .. :o))
Thanks Linda , it worked out alright after all ...... it's amazing how quickly the grass has grown Gee it's covered all the bare earth that was under the tree , the rain has helped with that ... the bird bath was a real bargain i'm so pleased with it ... :o)

29 Sep, 2010
It's a bird bath San . it's been confiscated and used for plants .. :o)
29 Sep, 2010
its quite deep for a bird bath isnt it amy, looks great as a planter ;o))
29 Sep, 2010
Isn`t it lovely when an idea turns out well. Looks brill.

It is deep San plus the water soon became murky and it was too heavy to lift it off to change it often ..
Yes Stroller , I agree ... thanks :o))
