The plot thickens!

I love it, and did OH know about this ? or is he still in the dark !

a job well done Sea, im sure OH has noticed by now or are you not letting him out in the garden hahaa, look forward to seeing new plants to :o)

That looks so much better SBG doesn't it - sort of fits in your garden much more and how exciting to be able to go and buy a whole new lot of plants for it. Have a super time plant shopping.

So glad you found your ring...thank goodness for metal detectors !
I love 'the plot has thickened' lol !
Enjoy your garden centre trip with your brother. Which ones will you be heading for ?

It looks lovely

Sure the OH won't mind - less mowing for him!!

Now the fun begins!..................

looking great, look forward to seeing more plants and hearing oh reaction. lol.

that looks lovely, good decision!
your tulips look amazing too
has OH noticed yet?

Good job! So glad you found your ring! My Granddad lost his ring and in the 60's gardening and sadly never found it. The house was sold decades ago and I've often wondered if anyone found it!
My beds have a tendancy to widen too!!

He did notice as the hose pipe was on the grass for at least 10 days in between jobs. I had hinted at widening them in the dark days of winter.

He says he doesnt mind as long as there is some green, or he will concrete it for the car

OH NO HE WONT!!!!!!

I am off to Reighton on Wednesday Judywolf, then the 3 around Dunswell and the 3 in Cottingham plus 2 at Beverley. But not all in the same day.

Thats sad Lulu33 I wonder if it was ever found?

Garden looking good Seaburngirl..
that's tough work taking out lawn areas ..
I know .. I've done plenty of it over the years..
Exciting to plant your new borders..

glad you found your ring... :o)

you should find a few things you like between the 9 places!!?

wow it looks lovely mine requires a lot more work till it reaches such a high standard but i am still proud of what i have done to mine so far.

How wonderful to get more space for planting! Im trying to find more wall space for clematis. You have made a wonderful job of the soil SBG, everything should flourish well with all that compost! So much so, you may have to dig out a bed in the middle of the lawn (that should stop the car idea lol!) Dont forget to leave a space for the schitzostylis, on their way later this week.

Used to work at Coletta and Tyson many years ago , before it became a garden centre. That was mighty hot work ..pricking off young bedding plants all day under glass !
Hope you have a massive car to fit all the plants in on Wednesday !!

my lawn is getting less and less as well...lol.... nice though to have bigger flower beds...... gla dyou found your wedding ring... i find my ring falls of when im gardening so take it off first....

I`m sure your OH wont object Sgirl you have such beautiful curves - and so well planted. Happy plant hunting with your brother your sure to enjoy.

What a brilliant idea using the hose for the curve. Glad you had a friend with a metal detector. I have lost two wedding rings - one is under a clump of rhubarb in Stoke on Trent but I couldn't find it. The other is somewhere in a vicarage garden in Stafford. Now I don't wear one as my knuckles are too small to keep them on in the garden!

Hey, I gotta be different (of course!) my first wedding ring "got lost" in second hand jewellery shop where I flogged it after the divorce..the second had to be sawn off when I put on too much weight and the third...still have that but its getting tight! I must do more gardening ...

Widening boarders = more plants great idea, and less grass to mow - wonderful idea. The soil looks really rich, everything should flourish - well done you.

Talk about losing wedding rings, I lost mine icing a christmas cake 26 years ago - it got covered in icing so I took it off, clearing the work surface I must have gathered it up and put it in the kitchen bin, knowing the bin men were due the next day, I then emptied the kitchen bin into the big bin and put it out for the bin men, it wasn't until the following night to my horror did I realise what I had done - so I have never worn one since (how sad!) - silly me.

The schistosylis is going in the opposite bed thanks tetrarch. Non of mine have survived the winter.

I have a shopping list for all my plants. :o)

I am amazed at the number of us who have lost rings in the garden. Cake making seems as good a way as any Kfunster. sad though non the less.

I'm all for geting rid of grass. I have none at all. I think your borders will look much better now they've been widened.
And there is the story about the ring lol

the main reason for widening them was to get a better balance of plants, sizes /shapes etc. And of course new plants too :o)

It's always exciting to get new plants :o) and you need room for them.

My sentiments entirely there Hywel, who needs grass anyway. lol. I love to see nice big borders Seaburngirl. It is looking lovely.
