STARTED PLANTING TODAY..

This is looking fab. Dee.
Good one.
Are you sticking to a plan, or do you think at the nursery there will be a few impulse purchases ? Lol

I always think that planting is the best bit - you've done all the hard work of preparation and now - PLANTS!!!

Well done - I bet you feel really good about your new-look front garden! :-)

Yeah TT im deffo sticking to a plan Hahahaha, im going to write a list of what i need because im lacking in the colour Purple :) But I just know I wont be able to resist any bargains, Also I have a couple of beds to fill in the back garden, Ooooh just remembered, My Fab bargain front door Pots need something, OMG good job i was paid double time for work this Afternoon...

I do Spritz, its a Pleasure Now, I lost my way with the Old garden, just put a few plants near the front door and that was it.. And I know how Lucky I am, Great Hub and all that :)))
Forgot to say, Theres 18. 75ltr bags of compost added plus 2 bags of Chicken Pellets ( pooh they stink ) and ive dug over those borders 5 times!!! Still finding bulbs and stones today haha..

i think your plants are going to do very well in all that compost.
the finished front looks great bye the way.............steve

Its looking great, just wait till the plants start to fill out.
I cant help buying on impulse, its a major failing of mine i'm afraid. All my plans become a bit blurred at the edges.
Almost one and a half metric tonnes of compost!! you should invest in a large "Radox" methinks!
Happy Easter.

Garden Looking Great Dee, it may be hard work at the begining but when you stand back and see what you have done and when all your plants are in bloom, you will be to crack open a few WKDs.. happy easter!. john.

It looks wonderfull now :o)

wow look at how tidy your garden is. everything looks perfect

well done you
x x

Planting a new garden is the best bit! Phormiums and hostas will be good for giving foliage colour and if you want to add purple too, don't forget to look at heucheras (I've added eight different ones in various places this spring)

Followed this with interest Dee amazing that a relatively small area can take such a lot of work you must be so relieved to get to this stage.

It does look beautifully constructed wish you well with your plans - erm given the nature of my garden and its rather wild look , will leave it to others to give recommendations .lol

Haway the lasses. canny plants too :o)

Looks well

Amazed you need more purple, Dee.
I always seem to have too much mauve and purple.. Lol

Awww Thanks Guys, You are Dead Canny hehe...
One and a half Ton OBeyes! I cant believe i moved all that, I had to carry the bags from the back garden too, I moved them when i jetwashed the Decking Too, Blinking Ink, No wonder my arms ached hahaha..
Hi Scousemonk, (john) Yes its worth all the hard work, can't wait to see the plants in flower, probably made a few mistakes, Wont be the first time :)

Thanks BB, Clarice, TT, SBG, Steve, Hywel, Mookins, and a Happy Easter Weekend, Been Gorgeous here today, bought more plants ;) some for my new pots and new border, Ooooh Magic...
