Getting started

Wow quite a spending spree, you have some lovely purchases , that Cottoneaster will look great against your new fence, Your herb pot will very quickly fill out, I have one love all the different smells and tatses and a lovely Hydranger and minature roses great choices!

great choices Wlass and all will look great, you can have your pot moved when your son about or any available strong young man,, i have hygrangia in a pot to, mine is a climbing one and needs lots of water in dry weather especially summer months and soon had to repot it into bigger one, bet your excited now things are starting to move in the garden,look forward to all updates ;o))

The first step indeed J, nice healthy looking plants, hope that lovely brick wall is south facing..just the job for winter..Brilliant getting fencing done this week. It will feel more "your" garden! Before you know it the place will look green and zinging with colour.
Remember one woman's mistakes are another's idea of a brilliant job! Let it all hang out girl and go for it!

hi Jacquie,you have been busy..your plants look great,i like the box ..shelves ..in second pic i think that would look good with plants in..you will be posh when you get your fence done lol..

Unfortunately the wall is west facing, Tetra. It gets lots of sun in the winter months but a lot of shade during autumn/winter. Is this going to be a problem with where I've put my pots? I am hoping to relocate things once the fencing is finished next week but it won't be straight away. Flags to lift first and lots of digging when the soil is exposed.

Thanks for your kind comments, PP, San and Tetra....it does look as if things are on the move finally.

Joanella....this long box was thrown out of our stockroom when the new owners took possession of the business. It actually stood upright in our shop prior to refitting many years ago.

I too have thought about sprucing it up and planting it up....a project for another day....thanks for the thumbs up.

look forward to seeing it all done up..2 thumbs up lol

a good day 'pottering' wlass.

I like your pots. Terracotta looks much nicer than plastic, and better for the plants I think. You are very methodical too :o)

I've just noticed (too late to correct it now!!)....in my reply to Tetra I said we get lots of sun in the winter....but we don't get much sun against the back of the house....only in the other sections of the garden. Probably you'll have worked that out anyhow! lol

The front of my house is shady until the sun is going down, my pots do better out there winter and summer, simply because they don`t dry out so quickly, my fuschia`s do especially well, I like your enthusiasm W.lass, it will be good to watch your progress....

Thanks, Lincslass....I am enthusiastic and impatient. I suppose lots of gardeners feel the same....we have a picture in our minds of how we want the garden and have to be patient to bring it all about. I need more stamina as I can only manage 2 or 3 hours a day in the garden! We'll get there....I'll blog as we progress!

A great day out with good company in a GC,what could be better W/lass? Some very nice purchases there! Looking forward to keeping updated on future blogs... :~))x

I'll be writing ....thanks Flori

Lovely purchases Jacquie. Loved reading your blog and pleased to hear your fencing will be finished soon.... then you will be busy. Will be looking forward to seeing how you progress with it . Dont try to overdo it though, just do a little at a time Jacquie. :o))

Thanks, Lins. The fencing has been completed and I am waiting for 6th December when the contractors will return to continue with landscaping.

Now I'm busy spending time settling on a design for the space. Lots of fun :)
