A BIT MORE RE-CYCLING, well sort of

Can't wait to see pics once the climbing rose takes it over. What a find. The best garden ornaments are the "recycled" ones :)

I wish that my neighbours would discard that typ of thing, I would have a dozen uses for it.

It all look's really nice Stroller, good use of the gate.

Your gate is lovely,Stroller,and what a useful freebie too.Your garden is looking great ..and I like the variegated Pyracantha..have fun planting your new Clematis..:o)

You've really drawn a bargain with your "new-to-you" gate! As they say, one man's trash is another man's treasure. It is going to look so pretty once your rose gets established.

Your clematis' will be a nice addition to your garden, climbing up your fence...lovely to see your garden...and all your nice pots too, Stroller.

Lovely acer... and how nice to incorporate that gate into your garden... added to GoYpedia Feature Ideas :o)

Your garden looks brill - good idea with the gate. The maple is gorgeous, I must get a clematis Rebecca!!!!

Thanks, Laine, Roji,Mavis, Bloomer, Wlass, Terra and Paul your encouragement is always heartening.

:):):)

I have Rhod Dreamland too, still in bud, I got it last year. It's beautiful white with a hint of pink.

You have a nice lot of plants :o)
And that gate is wonderful. It's going to look nice with the rose climbing up it. Good job your neighbour thought of you when he was getting rid of it.

Love the gate and look forward to the rose pictures.

Thanks Donna its nice to know that someone has grown and is pleased with a plant, so can`t wait for the buds to open.
Hywel, Paul the neighbour always gives me first refusal when he`s getting rid of something.
Olive hope they live up to the picture on the label.

My neighbour never throws anything away that would be in any way useful so I am really jealous that yours gives you such nice things ! You have made good use of it too.

Your garden will be a picture when all your new plants have grown a little.

Well done and Happy Gardening.

That is really effective Stroller, like it a lot. All looks very nice

Very nice Stroller, like the angled idea. It would also have looked very nice in front of my mirror...pity I couldn't come down and pinch it!

The gate looks perfect for a rose to climb over, I really do like it. Your garden is looking really colourful. :o)

love what you have done with the gate stroller and your garden looks lovely to :o)

Thanks Mariek, Cinders, Lab and San.
Karen agree it would be good in front of your mirror, on the other hand your mirror would look great behind my gate.lol.

lol!! ;) true!

Love the gate idea; the garden is looking "fab".

Clever girl, Stroller, the gate looks just right in your garden and will be lovely with the Rose climbing through. The Acer is a gorgeous shade and a kind thought for the Japanese folk. What colour berries will the new Pyracantha have?

Sorry dont know shirley it just says white flowers in may on the label.

Ok, I Googled it, says 'a slight formation of berries' so not much help there ! : o )

So it`ll be watch wait and see then Shirley.!
Thanks Driad.:o))
