One year on from the garden make-over

very nicely done, love your sitting out area.

Hope you are able to find some more plants you like and that the garden gets a few sun-baked days!

Thank you Sarah, it's amazing really that I've bought so many plants but its still not full !

Your plants will spread out Gina, Give them space and fill the gaps with Annuals, love your raised beds and the rocks/boulders, also the slate (looks like slate) round the pond, your garden will have a fuller lusher look in a couple of weeks, once the weather warms up proper :)

It looks so wonderful Gina thank you for sharing.

Yeah Dee you're right lol I'm just way too impatient !

Yes, it IS slate,

I'm really chuffed how its all turned out cos I designed the whole garden myself.

Work starts on the grotty top patio tomorrow yay! I included a pic in the blog as ' the before' pic .

Thanks Kath, I couldn't wait to get out there after the winter! ❄⛄

I hope the weather is ok where you are Gina for the builders, started to rain here...

Looks fantastic! I love the step up to the arch it really draws the eye. If you don't mind me asking, where did you get your recliners? I need to find a good comfy chair for my OH to sit out as she has spinal problems and our bench is just too unforgiving. Thanks :)

It looks very neat and 'sophisticated'

what a difference a year makes, that looks really good, well done you guys lovely garden and you will find it fills in very quickly just be patient, enjoy yourselves relaxing in your lovely seating areas. Great job!!!!!

Thank you Olive and Paul.

Thanks Red, to be honest I can't remember where I bought the recliners, I do all my shopping online, but if I remember I'll let you know.

Dee yes rain here too but it didn't stop them, they arrived at 8 and had the shed , trellis and plants down by 1, they couldn't start the fencing because of the rain. Look out for my blog cos I need some advice from everyone.

Booboo you have done a really good job so far, I love the use of those rocks and your pond. It looks as if you have also got a good backdrop of trees at the top end beyond the trellis it will be interesting to see the second stage of your garden.

Thanks Stroller, have look at the new blog.

Red, I remembered,

You have done well Boo it all looks lovely, it wont take long for your plants to fill out, fingers xx for sunshine and warmth for you to sit outside and relax....

Aww thanks... ?

Wonderful thank you Gina - they seem very reasonably priced too! Many many thanks - now all we need is the sunshine to sit in! Thanks again, Nick.

You're welcome Nick, hope you some you like, hoping the weather perks up at the weekend, Lots of jobs still to do.
