Hi Guys,
hope your all having sunshine like we are in blackpool, at least for today anyway.
Baz has been great helping me in the garden as i cant overdo it at the moment but i cant not do anything.
so he took all the rubbish from behind the garage and my neighbour asked about the block paving bricks we had to edge a border in her garden, so off they went over the fence, “great thats them gone”
next i placed all the rocks left over from the pond in groups, then Baz empied buckets of beach pebbles we had left over there to.
Also i placed some of my pots there and my driftwood i bourght from the plant fair a couple of years ago.
it looks much better , we just need to power wash the decking now and re-paint it with wood preserve.
Baz cut the grass for me while i dug out weeds between the pathing stones, also i took some weeds out about the garden.
Had to bag all the rubbish up while we were doing each job, amazing how much is there really.
so here is a few pics of the garden today, still a few things to do but at least the hard work is done apart from behind the shed but thats another day


im so happy to see my garden starting to look neat again, going to get some plants for my trough and pots soon to and for the front of the house pots,
hope you all had a great day to, happy gardening :o)))

Sandra it looks really good near your decking, infact all your garden is looking great, i've not been in my garden at all today, although it was nice and sunny i found was cold, yesterday teatime i went and put fleece on some of my little plants as they gave frost glad i did, as there was frost on car roofs when i got up this morning, so i've left the fleece on them tonight as i believe its going to be very cold again tonight :)
