TINKERING and TWEEKING !!

I thought this little corner of the Patio as you entered the garden from the leanto was a bit unsightly. So firstly we move one rain barrel to the other end of the leanto to share a space with the dustbin. Then as our very kind neighbour Paul gave us permission to use his shed we arranged guttering back and front wrapping it round to our side and we then put a rain barrel each end – yippee we now have three rain barrels and a tidy patio corner. We made a wooden planter for the sweet peas “beujolis and Alan Titchmarsh” to climb and cover the fence and planted a climbing rose “Malvern Hills” to grow up and along the leanto. We put slate chippings here as it is over two very large drain covers and this makes for easy access.
Im pleased with the result so I think the pond area is the next to be tweeked.lol

Oh yes it is a big improvement Stroller and once the climbing rose, Alan T and the bottle of wine get going it should be a riot in that corner! lol

Looking better, Stroller, but where's your plastic 'grow-house' gone? I know I'm being nosey . . .

Oh, good 'tweakage' Stroller! That's looking lovely and neat! Bet you feel great after that, it's lovely to look back and see you've made a difference for the better! Well done!

Hi Lily, hope the sweet peas live up to their name and go to our heads.lol. - Shirley you don`t miss much do you, we haven`t got rid of it, its round the corner of the shed with the rain barrels.
Libet, Lincs, Paul and Yorks your comments are very much appreciated.

Ha ha, Stroller, it's only because I have a similar one that I noticed it. I'm not usually that observant! I had to release a trapped Bee from mine this morning, it must have been there all night, poor thing.

Ta Steragram and Whdebor, was pleased with the result so started yesterday on the steps area that you can just see in the first pic I did this last year and never liked it I thought it looked like a helicopter runway.
Will put it in a blog when I`ve finished.
