Underneath the Carport

I won't tell if you won't.

Sounds just like me - wait for OH to be out of the way and shave a bit more off the edge of the grass! Of course this doesn't work where it has been edged with brick, but he didn't bat an eyelid when I said I thought I would dig up the area around the Monkey puzzle tree as it was prickly to cut the grass underneath - perhaps he's been attacked by it.

Lol. Just had my lunch before I'm about to dig up a small patch of grass. Hubby knows and has given me his blessing as he hates trying to cut it. Must be something in the air ?. The other boarders I have to widen on the quiet. Hope you get it done before he get home lol.

Siris you won't have much grass left, the way you are nibbling away at it !! a ideal use for a carport btw!!

Siris - Do you grow irises from seed? Do you 'cross-pollinate' them? Love your setup.

Ha,ha aren't we ladies sneaky!
The new lawn boundary is laid out in rope still. He might of seen it but hasn't commented. When we go for an apéro, he'll have to walk over it so.... I really need to move the concrete base in the ground into which the rotary washing line slots over by a foot or so, mmm.
Bathgate, yes I cross polinate my own Irises, got flowering down to 2 1/2 years now, that pods Sept, sow straight away, can germinate after 10 weeks cold stratification, so those seedling under the carport are last years crosses. They won't flower in those tubs, too constricted. I'll try to find an odd space to put a few of the bigger ones in the garden later this year.

That's commendable if you've done so successfully. Congrats!

Fantastic idea hanging the plants from the carport looks great and the pots on the trellis . lol bit by bit they never notice just don't go digging the home up ? Your Polygala is a beauty was tempted week before last to buy another hardy one.

What a great use for a car port! Love it!

Providing I don't extend the tubs and pots on the ground more than one depth, the car still can go into the garage, which is at the end.
3pb, the Polygala, after digging out from the garden was put in a pot and that stood in the large grey tub, now it's stood outside proper.

Comment from OH, when we went to sit on the bench in the early evening. You're not going to dig up more lawn, are you!

He reads you like a book Sue!! Lol

excellent use of the carport and my OH says the same thing to me :o))

You are making good use of your car port :)

I am all for removing grass for more growing space. Good luck !

I've started my grass removal, thunder storm stopped work today.

Grass is simply a 'place holder' for other things.

Agreed, a green swarth sets of the colourful plants nicely. It's hardly worth getting the lawn mower out, it's that small now. Just big enough to 'swing a cat' actually rotary washing line!
