An update and projects in my back garden..

Great job with the succulents, Daisy. Lovely pot too, but no wonder you were doing the Big Bad Wolf impression!

Wow! I'm a fan. love those blue pots! you should trade pots with the tree fern! the succulents are lovely but I love that TF!!!

Fantastic garden YDD it all looks sparkling and so colourful just like a Medditerain garden love the pots;0)

Agree, Lori. I love the tree fern too.

Your garden looks a very relaxing place Dee :o) I love your succulents. I hope they do well for you ...

Hi Dee...
Your garden is very colourful ..
You've worked hard :o)

Its all looking great, well done... :O)

I love those succulents, very nice, looks a huge pot to have moved though, don't think I could have managed that!

Wow Dee your lovely new pot full of succulents in the rectangular bed compliments the pegoda project that you did last year wonderfully, and I like the idea of the shelving for pot plants it all comes together to give a very mediterranean feel to your garden, and its all so well done.

Thanks every one for your lovely comments, Hi Lori nice to see you :) yeah i love my TFs, a bit slower this year, im still waiting for the new fronds to emerge..
Thanks to you all who said it looks a bit med because thats what im aiming for.. The project on the shed area is going to be something different alltogether (hopefully) Im hoping it turns out the way im visualising it! We will see :)

Smashing!
You have given me some ideas for the roof-top patio my partner will soon have. At the moment it is just a fenced space with a tiled floor crying out for some plants. They will have to look after themselves quite a bit so succulents in pots may be the way to go.

Love your seating area and your pots .

love the suclents , thinking of doing some myself .... you have inspired me !!! , now wot can i use lol x

Have just some semps etc myself. First time for me, hopefully the are easy enough ;)
It all looks very fresh and healthy in your garden - I can't wait to see what your wee project is.

Just love what you have done here Dee,very much my type of thing,great work!

Thanks Dick, still ongoing :)

Thanks Xela, kidsgran, Cristina and Scottish. Succs are easy plants, I usually have a couple of pots on the go and just forget about them, they coped well with the rain last year but i dont know about some of these new ones, i have clear plastic over them at the min as its going to rain.
My project has stopped scottish, i need some funds lol but the Acers are starting to show (yay) and i need some inspiration, a couple of ideas going round my head! time will tell if i can pull it off or it might turn out to be utter rubbish, we will see lol.

Hi YDD thanks for the pic, ours is very, very hairy, but it is growing away, one new frond so far!!it is so cold though, was not sure about even uncovering it!!never mind watering it every day!
Love what you have created, how on earth you moved that ENORMOUS pot I will never know!!looks brilliant, well done.
I see Gary has taken off (the Gunnera, most of our plants have names lol) and do I spy a Canary Island date Palm? have just given our daughter ours, as we had no room for it, yours looks huge!! do you keep it in the gh over the winter? ours was getting to the point where we could not bring it inside the house, so it had to go, shame!
Looking very much forward to seeing your new project, sounds very interesting...

Hi DD, the CIDP is in the raised bed, thats why it looks big, on saying that it and my other one are growing really well, they get overwintered in the Ghouse with the fronds tied up and the whole palm inc pot gets fleeced, so far ive been lucky (2 winters) :))
The huge pot got dragged and "stepped" across the gravel, it was full of compost too, i kept thinking, ill break me legs if i loose my balance and it falls on me lol.
Next weeks forecast isnt looking good (grrrr) but the TFs should be ok, i wont refleece mine, they are quite hardy.
The shed project! just a sort of tart up hahaha i hope it works, Eeeeek.

I am sure it will look great YDD, forecast lousy here also, so cheesed off keep taking plants out and bringing them back inside, we open the beginning of June so everything needs to be finished......help!!

No pressure then DD.. omg good luck but you probably dont need it, you know what our summers are like, one day winter then BANG next day summer and vice versa :)))

That is right, but what do we do with 150 pieces of cake? lol

It looks very nice and tropical! The decking looks very well made and maintained!

Lol DD, you could send them this way, I have a big family hehe..

Thanks Paul...

Your garden looks fantastic YDD, given me some good ideas there!

Dee looks fab and love the big pot with succulants, i have to stain my deck to and boy it needs it, also im going to paint my wooden bistro set rather than stain it this year, just to make things a bit different, your garden always looks fab Dee :o))

Thanks Dirtyred and Sand, you started staining yet Sand? Horrible job that, how you doing? We haven't spoke for a while X
