From the North Face of the Eiger, to something much more manageable

What a fantastic job ... your new terraced garden is brilliant. It sounds like so many of your plants are going to recover just fine and what a marvellous display you'll have later on.

What a transformation!! It must have cost you a fortune?....but looking at it
now, it was well worth it...., what a great makeover...it must have been a hard
and laborious job....now its completed you can now enjoy it, and look forward
to the beautiful garden that you wanted, and now have...Enjoy!!!
I am looking forward to some more pics as your new garden matures....

Welcome to GoY :o)

This is an excellent design ...
... and Happy Golden Trowel Day for yesterday ...
... one whole year on GoY.
Nice to have you with us here.

I'm pleased to add this to GoYpedia Sloping Garden Ideas ! :o)

Sorry lol ! I thought it said 2010 - I've lost my specs :o) I'll have to get new ones lol

Hello Hywel... Welcome to GoY. xxxxxxx :o)

Thanks TT :o))) LOL xx !!!

What a lovely job they've done - it looks great

Welcome to Goy fantastic garden

What a challenge, must say the results so far looks great.

Great job, looking good....

lokks brill - expensive i should think but well worth it.... hywel you do make me chuckle...:o)))) sure you havn`t sat on those specs ??

looks full of promise. :o)

Thank you all for your comments, yes it was expensive, but give me a couple of years and it will look stunning (I hope) certainly different. By the way, that's the real Titchy on my avater, an 8 year old female canary, at least I got her, as so far where we live we get so few birds and I miss that terribly. Maybe they too are waiting for my terraced garden to be more established.

Get the feeders filled, add the bird bath....with all your lovely shrubs and
plants, they will be flocking in....you will not have to wait long, those plants
will establish quite quickly, now, Summer is almost here!!!
You will have to show us some more pics. of titchy...look forward to it...

Great transformation Tichy:-)

Take some more pics Titchy, would like to see how it's coming on :-)))

Annella, have just added a few pics - as you will see, there are still loads of spaces to fill. I only get 1/2 hour here and there - as I am caring for my husband, but one day it will look great. Didn't add them to this blog ~ but you'll find them

Found the pics Titchy, it's all looking brilliant :-))

Your garden looks brilliant and just goes to show what you can do with gardens that aren't just flat.

hows the terace comeing along now ............. has it filled up now !!!

Yes it has, Cristina - must take some pics soon, but haven't spent much time in the garden of late, been so busy with a make over indoors. Still need to make some changes in the tiers, as some of the small shrubs are getting too big and will have to be moved to a higher tier later on. Its good to be back on GoY life suddenly has more meaning again and I am truly back again in body and sole.

Hello Tichy \0/ so good to see you back:-) I thought about you often. It's wonderful to see you so positive and looking forward:-)

Hello Bornagain, thank you for welcoming me back, I feel a little bit like your "name" indicates, a new fresh me and yes eager to participate in GoY and especially get my surroundings ship shape again, still lots to do but then we gardeners never finish do we. At least we've had some rain here last night and today, the first real drop since 30th March. I expect we'll say before long: wish it would stop raining. Anyway, wish you Good Gardening!

so glad to hear it hun .................... keep smiling x

Hello Titchy! I don't know how you managed your garden before you did this, it's lovely! It looks great now, and when your plants get established it'll look like it's been there forever!

the gardens comeing on now isent it ................... how are you now !!! ;0))))

Hi Libet, I couldn't manage the garden before the work was done, when we moved here almost 3 years ago, we knew something would have to be done and we did and now it's a pleasure looking at the tiers, especially from the bedroom. It's impossible to take a picture to get the real view, even the guy who did the work came unexpectedly to see me last week and he tried to take pictures, I found him in all sorts of positions. Haven't seen the outcome yet. I did take some recent photos and sent them on a blog called "I am still learning but getting there", so things are coming along slowly.

Hello Cristina, Oh! I am so much better ~ thank you, the gardening helps immensely, seen the latest pics? On a blog. Still not satisfied completely with what I've done and still will have to move plants around. Hopefully the top Fence will be changed in the autumn, unless I spend all my money on plants, or paint come to that, as inside and outside is getting a makeover. So not enough time left for me to be sad as I am too busy - he would have wanted it to be like this.

sooooo glad to hear it hun , glad to see you back !!1 gardens looking great .............. i got my idea 4 my garden after seeing yours , so there my lttle secrets out lol ...................... will take a peek at ur pics later , just watching chelsey
