After, let see how it goes

This is what it looks like now. I decided against grass in the end, only because there was so many to choose from and i just couldn't decide.
I have gone for Cerastium Tomentosum (snow in summer) instead. Hopefully next year it will be a carpet of white flower. The blue ern was given to me by a friend from work who didn't want it any more. I by chance came across a Kilmarnock Willow (quarter size) so i thought it may be ideal for this. I covered the drain cover with some decking.

I've got one of these willows in a pot and it looks really good, especially in spring when it has it's catkins, I just prune out any branches which grow in wrong direction :+)

Sorry took so look, been sooo busy working haven't had time to eat even!! My Willow is about 1 metre tall and about 60cm spread, I'm not that good at guessing sizes so I'll measure it tomorrow and out a picture up, though it doesn't look as good this year as it got rust last year and I had to prune out some branches.
