Pics of garden today & Before and After pics

Hi Daisy,what a difference you made to the fence with your darker colour sooooo much better,your garden is looking very lush.we had been working as you might remember on my front garden and have gots some new bits done,but now its come to a stand still with the woodwork as my bf broke his thumb hammering ! and got blood poisoning from a splinter that got imbedded very deep in his finger ! his fine just in a bit of pain with it all bless him,soon have him woodworking again soon as everythings healed ! take care for now happy gardening :)

Owwww, I got a shiver right down to my ankles whebor, Poor BF, My hubs a joiner and he's allways bursting his thumbs brrrrrr...
Have you put pics up yet, of your front garden, ill go look :)
I agree, my fence does'e look a thousand per cent better :))

5 coats later you dont do things by halves do you lol I must agree it looks so much better shows the plants off, all your tropicals are looking splendid and I do like the raised planted did Hub make that for you? are you going to let your Eucalyptus go or will you pollard it ?

well DD, thet eucalyptus was a total random buy, it was reduced to £7.50 and i liked it, no label, so i didnt know anything about it, I brought it home and planted it where i had dug out a dying phormium, then i read up about it on the net, it gets big! so i dug it back up and back in its pot and placed it there for now. Ive since read about Pollarding Eucalyptus, apparantly to keep those lovely small bright silver new leave's, now i will have to read up on how to do that haha, In future i must stop impulse buying, will i ever learn.. yeah 5 coats but, i used the electric spray, probably 2 coats with a brush.. it looks really good, much better than my pics, i keep going out to look at it :)))

What a difference it makes - your garden is certainly looking better. You must be very pleased with it.

A very tidy job!! Bet you're pleased it's all done now!

Looking good DD! :o)

Oh i do prefer your colour DD, it shows off the plants really well i know what you mean about things getting on your nerves, you feel so much better when you do something about it don't you?

You garden design always amazes me Dee, I remember your front garden re-vamp, you certainly have the flair. I like the dark stain too. Its so annoying though cos the colour on the tin doesnt always come true, looks like you got it right. :-)

Well done Ydd ... it looks lovely in that darker shade now. Re. the Eucalyptus ... I planted one last year and then, like yourself, worried about how big it might grow! Bamboo gave me some really good advice on maintaining it. If you want to read up on it just go to my questions. : o )))

Thanks everyone, Im very pleased Mariek / Lulu, im still checking it out constantly :)))
Yes it Does'e SK, it was really bugging me, my eye was drawn to it, no matter where in the garden i was, Hub just laughs at me :))
