snowy back garden


snowy back garden

The rear garden taken from the back bedroom window. You can see the end of the first garden, the bike is in front of the fence. You can see the corner of a small shed in the back right of the first garden. It houses a tumble drier and a freezer.

The long shed roof across the middle is on the other side of the rear access lane to both gardens. It forms a barrier with access restricted to the left side as can be seen. The greenhouse part of this shed faces into the bottom garden. Behind that on the right is the conjoined greenhouse enclosed pond, the 11x7 shed behind it.

On the left you can see the sides that will comprise my 10 foot square greenhouse, which will go on the left beyond the shed. The snow you can see to the left end of the shed is on top of the upturned 9 foot diameter vat that will be going in this 10 foot greenhouse.

All the stuff needs to move from the left (greenhouse bits and all the stuff you see dumped there, on top of the spoil left from digging the pond. The pond filter will relocate to filter my baby koi pond (which is between the main pond and the shed.

The turf on the left will be removed, then I have one more raised bed to construct and fill, then the remaining soil will be dragged back to where the turf has been removed from and that is going to be the tropical bed. The raised beds cannot be seen, but are on the right between the big shed/greenhouse and the pond greenhouse
