Well iv been wanting to make a start on making the Wooden Fenced Side of my garden look better?But i had 2 wait 4 the right time! Which was TODAY :)
as u all no iv had this boarder 4a while now &its filled out great as u can see!(Pic Above)

but when u look all the way along its Horrid & iv been unhappy with it 4 what feels like 4ever :(

So i made astart on what i want it 2 look like,Heres My Spade/Plants so away i went " DIG DIG DIG "

I then Dug Some More & Planted My Sad Looking Butterfly Bush in2 its Own Private Boarder (Just Couldnt wait2plant it)

Buy the time id Dug to here the Little Old Boarder was looking untidy so i gave the Lawn edges a good Trim :D

MMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmm looks great! Now iv2 finish off where id stopped,But Wait its Tea Time so iv 2 stop&go cook a meal4 three,So Join Me Here Again2morrow 4 Part2 of " My Bigger,Wider,Better Boarder :)

Part2:
What a lovely day 4 more Digging & Finishing off the Boarder id started yesterday :) Yes as u can c iv Dug & Planted it all up now :)Took me sometime 2 decide what was going to live where @ 1st,But i got it done.

Now for me to get my Spade stuck into all that Long Grass against the fence there & yes Summer youve got to move or ul lose your tail!

well iv gone as far as i can2day, so iv got a Part 3 coming up 2morw if ud all like 2 join me once again ur welcome :)

Part3:
1st i thought id Plant up where id Dug Over Yesterday with some plants id already Brought @ wked & had already in the Garden which did`nt mind me Moveing them @ all :D

Then i went looking 4 my little Spade so i could get Digging again & finish off this Boarder2day, O no iv 2 tidy up 1st :(

Soon did that & made a start @ Last Phew here we go then !!!!!

Well i didnt Dig, i thought id give this wall a lick of Paint 2 match the other side 1
while the Paint Dryed i had a Cupa Tea&sat watching it lol :)

well the ground was little harder here ? Seemed to take ages?Then i started 2 find Small & Large Pieces of GLASS :( Not good ,

Part4:
I got this Horrid Glass/Brick filled Boarder Finished @last

Jacque - have you considered how big that buddleia will get? You might want to think about planting it further away from the fence to avoid problems in a two or three years' time.

25 Jun, 2008
