Was gonna update the last blog but just to record the development of the front might as well bung a few pics here ; )
.
GNuts is now coming over quite regularly (when she hasn’t been fed) for a saucer of milk and maybe a small bit of ham
Ok enuff with the pics just pour the milk Stevie (nb taken before planter was planted up)
another of the Avalanche
This is scilla peruviana coming out
Big trellis is kicking off and just making some more pots for the front
You’ve seen the planter
Starting to shape up n come together
More flowers out today over the arch
slightly different angle ; )
quite liking this centaurea montana
and here’s the scillia starting to bloom
some bellis from last year
The oil drum planter now merging with the pots in front
coming together
arch
lovely flowers
This is the grand ‘M’ raised bed almost done. Just need to fill it up a bit more, maybe fence around n the central bits would be great with some gravel. I also might extend the last leg more
This is going to used as a storage bay for all the spare plants
Work bench
Big Poly now with compost laid ready
got some trays of 20 geranium plugs and ganzanias for a quid that they were chucking out, I guess this is why they would rather write them off than let someone like me av em ; )
just add a few more pics ; )
Clematis Montana Broughton Star much earlier than last year by far (more or less a whole month)
Closer
and the other one
small euphorbia that did nothing in a small pot now thriving in the oil drum planter
greening up
polygonatum doin its stuff, lot more shoots this year
More to come : )

spare time? lol
yes the stones are nice lookin, but they can get very hot in full summer sun so the trellis acts to cool the place a bit

Good to see your blogs and comments again Stevie.
Also I like the planting up of the concrete planter, using
small plants and grass in this way is most attractive.

I love the stone planter, Stevie - very pretty and the C. Avalanche is gorgeous. Love C. Broughton Star too. We live just down the road from where it was bred.

What do you do in your spare time Stevie?
Those stone walls make a lovely foil for all your plantings.
