More Wacky and wonderfull ideas for your garden :)

I love the water feature beside the steps - very apt after last summer!

So do I Andrew, i just realised the last one is a bucket :))

Love the tin man :)

Lovely and cheering Dd xxx

I love the teepee and the bubble! And don't those hostas look fabulous in the shady site.

Will now remove the tins from the recycle bag, and attempt to make a Tin Man for my allotment !

happy new year Ydd...im lovin the watering cans tooo....some great ideas as usual...x

Hi YDD good to see you back, hope all is well with you and yours.....love some of those ideas, has certainly given me one for a divider, we are taking up the decking so we need something to put between the two gardens as a screen, like picture 6 and pic 9 especially the very large bamboos, planted up in large planters.......food for thought, look forward to next set of pics, oh and the last one is the best of the lot lol

Lots of great ideas there...

Ha! Great to hear from you youngster! ;) You do find some amazing pics...I love the watering cans and that side garden. Your garden also looked amazing! X

that side garden reminded me of your side garden karen

Glad I read this, was just thinking about a pergola on the decking yesterday. This one look great, without all those curvy and shapely cross beams - I've sticking this on my favs as a reference.
I just love that side garden - that I'll keep for reference too :)

That's kind of you Sticki...you should see it right now. I've been pruning and removing the non-flowering Wisteria...it's all lying on the patio waiting for daylight so I can get it finished, looks a total bomb site! :)

I'm thinking of trying a tree fern this year.....what do you think YDD? as a fellow northern gardener?

that has chhered me up this cold and snowy night . thanks ydd.

NNNNNNNNo Karen you couldnt possibly have a bomb site in your garden!

Hi everyone and a happy new year to you Sandra, i guess my minds turning to gardening, yayyyy. im going surfing soon for more ideas..
I love that pergola scottish so simple and modern but stunning too, will look even better when the climbers get going.
Hiya karen, and here's me thinking your garden was finished hahaha. Yeah go for the TF, either keep it in a pot to overwinter in your greenhouse or plant it and use fleece in the winter, they can take low temperatures to -13 and like shade, mine get sunshine and shade and plenty water lol..
Thanks Hollyeves and DD, i love the bamboo screen but im not sure up here, i have one black bamboo which i nearly dug out last year as it just sat there doing nothing, after about 6 years i got fed up but gave it one last chance, i dont know if it was all the rain last year but it flew up, lovely bright green leave's so im now loving it :))
thanks everyone for your comments..

Had similar with the back bamboo youngster, but watch out, if it takes off its a runner! Thanks,there's a tree fern in the GC right now and every time I go it pleads to come home with me! I am creating a new shade garden to replace my food beds, so perfect for there. I will take a photo for you Sticki!

ok, but i dont believe you! i cannot imagine anything out of place

Lol...you will be gutted!

oh no!!!

some lovely ideas there Dee, we could spend a fortune if we had it to spend lol, Happy newyear by the way :o)) xx

Perfect spot then karen, looking forward to seeing your new shade garden..
hiya sand, happy new year to you, im glad to see the last of 2012 and looking forward to what this year brings :) hopefully a win to spend on these garden ideas i keep finding lol..

If I have a win, I'm buying a new garden somewhere warmer!

LOVE the side garden & the raised bed...thanks Ydd...:>)

K I have my eyes on a beautiful tree fern, OH went to get me one for Christmas but they were not up to much, but we have seen another one it is not potted and we understand you need to put at least 12 inches in the ground? we already have two babies but cannot wait for ever for them to grow, we might be cheeky and ask the GC to keep it over the winter, as it is freezing here......

Couldn't you squeeze it in to your conservatory A? That's my plan!

You could just lie it down behind your furniture DD it would just be a log, mind i would wait a while yet, i would have to feel those knuckles...

K not the size I am contemplating lol YDD I want to plant it in the garden if at all possible?

Another fantastic blog on "Wacky ideas"! Where do you find them?

That watering can exhibit was one that made me chuckle! I loved the trampoline as well as the clear dome! :-))
