My bare patch is beginning to resemble a garden (29.04.09)

This is my small decked area, which I finished cosntructing this afternoon. I just need to install some sort of screen down the right-hand side, then buy my chocolate-coloured sunlounger. Oh, and add in masses of lovely plants, of course. :-)

very sophisticated, will you plant some chocolate cosmos?

Beautiful!well done!

it just gets better. i love the elephant. so much detail well done u.

Its looking lovely David...........Well done...........

Amazing how much you have done in the time you have been there ! Looks great!

Many Thanks, Folks, for the comments and likes.

Mageth:- Yes, there will, of course, be chocolate cosmos (the original "chocolate" plant). I bought some at the garden centre at the end of last season, and also some new bare roots in February, which I potted up. They are beginning to shoot through now. :-)

Sandra:- the elephant is not here simply because of his chocolate colour, as time will tell....... :-)

my mum collects elephants. they are escaping into our garden now..

Oh, Sandra, I hope that they don't trample everything! I wonder if elephant droppings can be diluted in water to make a fertilizer, like sheep purls and cowpats? :-) Yes, your aeoniums will fit in perfectly, when I dare to let them outdoors. :-)

Hi Grammazoo! I'm looking forward to delivery of some of the wonderful plants you kindly added to our list! :-)

Your Decked area looks Fab :) were talking of Building 1 where the New Gazebo is @ moment David but dont know if itl happen yet ?

Hi Jacque, I think a decked area at your gazebo would be really good, and hope you can do it! :-)
