new fence up

Great blog San. Love the new fence, and Constance, wow, I shall have to get one of those to put on the other side of my pergola, opposite 'Lagoon' clem.

thanx cinders, cant wait to get it painted green, constance is lovely and im so glad i got her now, it would look great with your lagoon ;o))

I think so too. I have been painting my pergola green today, only half way through, but should finish it tomorrow

takes longer than you think cinders but worth it ;o)

Constance is a real stunner! Love the new fence.
Your garden is looking very pretty. I spent the day digging up roots and pulling out scrub. By the end of the afternoon I have a patch 8ft by 5ft nice and clear and just to make me feel better I planted a couple of plants that will flower soon.

Oh by the way, I added a photo of my framed orchid the other day did you see it.

gorgeous fence Sanbaz and garden to boot - lovely :):) Made me laugh thinking of you darting up saving plants :D

Love your fence San, Very Posh Looking, If i got new fencing, i would choose the same, Lovely. Pity about the workmen not respecting your plants! My husband is worse, if wer'e changing anything near plants, im there!!! I dont trust him whatsoever, typical builder lol..your garden is sprouting up and looking gorgeous as usual, if you dont mind me saying, I can see a huge difference since you joined GOY, you seem more confident and it shows in your garden, planting, and design..oooh isn't it an exciting time of year for us :)

looks very smart San:o)))

Sandra, your garden looks so lush, beautiful in fact! :)))))

The fence looks great sandra and so does the rest of your garden. Had to smile about your grass being too wet to cut as the ground here is like dust and I've just been out for an hour with the hose. Everything is looking a bit wilted in the very warm sun. All the leaves need some rain to open properly. Men at work in gardens need constant supervision, be they paid workmen or husbands, brains not connected to feet most of the time! LOL

thanx sue, you hav edone well with your new border and nice to plant new things, will go look at your pic to ;o))
lol paul i bet you would be the same to , glad you like the fence, its the same as last time but i love the curve and shape :o))
hi Dee lovely to see you back again and thankyou for the lovely compliments, i have learned so much in the last two years of being here, i couldnt have done it without you all, im running out of planting room but will be making a new gravel area i think soon, hope your enjoying getting your lovely garden ready to :o))
cheers mushy :o))
thanx michaella we have had lots of rain in blackpool so everything has grown like mad and im happy ;o))
lol lily so true, sorry you havent had enough rain to wet the garden, either way we arent happy are we lol, but knowing you, you wont let your garden down ;o))

Your new fence certainly sets your garden off Sandra. What colour are you going to paint it ? When I get mine Number 1 son has said he will put it up for me so as soon as funds become available I'll let him know.

Snap, Sanbaz, I cut my wet front grass for the first time today too! Your garden looks lovely and it certainly does make a difference to privacy having a good fence. I really enjoy being in my own little space :)

Love your new fence, what a difference it has made, good luck with the painting.

Your garden looks nice with everything growing now. I hope the lawn got done eventually lol
I don't know why but some people (esp workmen) are blind when it comes to plants. I just don't think they are able to see them lol. But your fences look nice. I'm glad you were there to keep an eye.

Looking fabulous Sanbaz...worth all the stress, at least they know how to put a fence up properly ! Very frustrating though, having to watch their every move. And, hey Baz..have you done those edges yet ? Lol ;D

I love your fence and the shape,San.looks like we have both been doing the same,although yours is about 4 feet higher! Lol...I updated my last blog last night,as promised,with 2 more pics ! A busy,busy day..but all done..:o)

thanx marie its going to be green like it was before, i just like my fence to fall in with the garden and not stand out,hope you get yours done soon to ;o))
thanx Gee, glad you got your grass cut to, i feel so much happier now its done, looking great and as you say i love my little space to :o))
thanx Dotty, i dont feel like im being watch now its back up lol,i cant bare people peering into my little haven haha ;o))
thanx hywel, the man use to do lanscape gardens before fencing so woudnt you think he would be more careful, anyway its done and i was there to keep my beedy eye on them lol, baz edged the grass for me to and fixed my trellis back onto fence ;o))
cheers judy, yes he has done them hahah, i just sit and stare at him till he gets the message lol :o))
thanx sandra, i love the shaped fences to, but i do have the normal one at the back and behind the garage, but as this is the main one i like to keep at the shaped fence, glad you got all your things done, will go check your update :o))

Lol ;/

your new fence looks very nice sandra....and lovely pics of your garden, all looking very nice.........

thankyou so much holly, i feel i have my garden back :o)

: O ))

San, it's all looking lovely! Clematis looks FAB!

Baz.. for all your help, have an extra beer lad! LOL!

lol helen, he drove me to lampeter today to pick my son up from uni, took about 11hours round trip, including stop off`s to rest, long trip and i cant do it as i dont do motorways, all home safe anyway and so glad i have joe back for 3 weeks ;o))

That is a heck of a journey,Sanbaz.we went down that way on holiday once,and thought we were never going to get there..! Enjoy your 3 weeks with Joe,you will have a lot of catching up to do..:o)

thanx sandra, then you know what a trip it is,its nice the fact they dont have motorways but i must say they make life easier lol

I would rather go the long way, than on motorway San! What a real sweetie Baz is! That's worth a nice dinner (takeaway) and a couple of beers! And Joe... listen up now.. you owe a few days gardening for the pickup from uni! LOL! You all got back safe and sound, that's the main thing! x

Great fence sandra, like your choice of colour green will show of the flowers a treat when its done. Green seems to be in at the moment have painted our bench green today.

yes i would rather the long way helen, hate motorways, im a nervous wreck on them, baz has had a couple of drinks and a nice soak and very tired.
joe said he is going to cook for us to show off his skills in the kitchen, he must take after both me and his dad, his dad was a chef and i come from a home cooking family lol
he is going to be working at the village garden nursery while home, so he is pleased they are taking him back, but he doesnt mind helping me if i need it helen :o)

thanx stroller, i love green fences they do go well with plants your right. :o))

That's a good couple of guys you have there San! That was excellent Joe getting his job back, he'll be pleased with that result!

My Mother, Sisters and my Daughters are FAB cooks, everything gets made from scratch, and tastes gorgeous! Then... there's me... no more to be said!!LOL!!

lol helen, i love cooking and like your family all from scratch, i cant bare frozen prepared meals or anything convenient, baz on the other hand would eat chinese every night given the chance but i make him eat his veg hahaah, joe gone off to work first day home bless, but he loves it there and loves the money to ;o))

I love veg, salad, fish, chicken and homemade soup. I try to eat salad everyday, even with fish or chicken. I do cook healthy food, but it taste better when the others cook it! If I could get out of cooking I would. I draw the like at cooking pork or lamb, "yuk" - if they want any of those, then they have to cook it themselves! I like chinese and indian but don't think I could eat it every night! Glad Joe likes his job, it's awful having to work somewhere you don't like!

lol sandra i wont drive on moterways either ............. hate them and allways make mike drive the senic way , your gardens looking great .......... a lot of painting to do tho !! we have bin spraying all the decks this weekend with our prize cuprinal gave us ............ and they even gave us the sprayer . brill. so much better than a brush .
went to arly hall on sat to the nursery ,gota helianthus lemon queen , was on wish list.............. they are haveing an n,g,s open day in july .......... so may go to that .
have fun in your garden and enjoy the sunshine ;0)))

helen you do eat healthy, i love chicken and fish myself and love salads to, i have to be careful with having IBS, meat really doesnt agree but occasionally i do crave some, but no red meat, not looking good here weather wise today, cloudy and trying its best to rain i think, well it was nice while it lasted ;o))
hi cristina having that spray certainly makes life easier i bet, baz will paint the panels when he has time and the weather ok again,i may help lol if i can be bothered haha, rather paint on a canvas hahaarly hall sounds like it may be a good day in july, will have to see how far for us and if baz will take me, depends if he is working, glad you like the garden at the moment, it needs a couple of things doing but baz needs to do them as heavy jobs :o))

It was lovely most of the day here, but the clouds are moving in. That's because the washing machine has just stopped..TYPICAL! lol

will find leaflet and post details hun ................. but food is dear , take a picnic lol x

lol helen, same here :o(
thanx cristina lol :o)

San,I was just looking at the clematis 2nd last photo, and thought I'd love a dress that colour!

would be lovely helen lol, would have to take a flower and match it up with fabric, :o)

Can you imagine the look on the person's face in the fabric shop, when you turn up with a clematis and say can you match this up please? LOL! I think, one of those plain shift dresses with a little bolero type jacket to match, would be gorgeous in that colour and very smart!

San I've just realised, it's the pink clematis on this blog! I'm talking about the blue clematis on the other blog!! LOL! The pink one's nice too, for a dress! LOL!

sounds lovely helen ;o)0
