Long Border, East Side


Long Border, East Side

Apologies for the gas cylinders spoiling the pic. We're not allowed to conceal them with anything.
The green tufts among the stones and on the path are a mix of selfseeded Dog Violets, Hierachium aurantiacum, hardy geraniums and Heucheras. Weeds don't get much of a look in on this side. The greenhouse door is to the right of where I was standing.

Is the path made of cobbles ? Looks good...

Everyone thinks that, Tt, but I'll be honest. The path comes in ready assembled 1.5m lengths, from Bradleys. The 'cobbles' are joined together with heavy duty nylon cord. The sections are still d....d heavy to lift and lay though! One thing, if I ever have to move, I can take the path with me. Lol

Let's not go there. I don't intend moving any more.
That path was alot curvier when I first laid it, but I decided to straighten it out a bit. It's quite flexible, and if you want a really pronounced curve, you can just snip out one of the cobbles. The path leads to a matching interlocking circle at the greenhouse entrance. Looks quite classy! Lol

Sounds good.
Is there a photo on GoY of the interlocking circle ?

Not at the moment Tt. It's in deep shade just now, so I'll take one on the morrow.

I love that path BBB, I was looking at some pebbles on a sort of mesh back yesterday, they were about 12" square, they were very heavy too, couldn't carry any home on the bus :o(. Am still thinking of getting maybe two at a time and seeing what I can make!

Sounds a great idea, Pamazon...
It could be a summer project, adding two more every time you've made the bus trip. Could be a fun blog for you to write for GoY if you take photos as you go along...
