help with new project

Oh my gosh you have done so much hard work, but it sure pays off in the end and 24 hours you will be back at it planting and prunning up. IT looks so great good job. How fun now you can plant I love the out doors.

I suggest you have a browse through Goy, theres loads of ideas,mind you it will then be make your mind up time and you ,ll have even more difficulty. LOL.

thanx lujean, yes got to sort out around the tree and neaten that up, but now the clutter is gone i can look forward to it looking nice

your right lincslass,, thats the trouble so many nice thing and so little space, lol cant have everything i like,,so i will start looking for ideas

I ve just been browsing the ideas pages and theres some beauties have a look its a great place to start ....

thanx lincslass, i will for sure :o)

How about herbs in pots, and a seat or two for a lovely coffee break? Does it get the sun a lot?
I've always hankered after one of those lovely seats that are 2 sort of on an angle, so slightly facing towards each other, and then a mini table thingy inbetween. Perfect! You can both put yr feet up then, lol!
Good move putting all the junk on the drive, then it might be moved away faster : ))

Btw, I didn't even know we had an ideas page, so I'm off to browse myself there now. Trouble is I should be weeding and hanging out today's washing. Oh dear. I'm sure it can wait.

Looking at all the guttering & down pipes you've got i've got loads of bits from differant jobs thats been done, then i put them to one side incase they will come in handy for something else trouble is none of the peices are really big enough to go any where, so dont know why i dont rhrow them in first place.

my neighbour had a piece of guttering to use for planting herbs, good idea i though, just block the ends and drill drainage holes and fill with composs then hey presto ready to plant, so you could make use clarice

lol weeding,, i didnt know either about ideas page,, hope you found it because its full of great things for the garden, its right at the bottom of homepage,, and yes thinking of some pots and a bistro table,, have plenty of chairs,and yes i get plenty of sunshine in that spot

You know what? A gravel garden would be great! So many plants grow in gravel very happily. I have Honesty, Geranium sanguineum, Californian Poppies and Nigella in mine as well as Sysirinchium striatum, Aquilegia and Ox-eye daisies! How about that???

that sounds really nice spritz... i will look at your pics,,thanx again for your addvice :o)

You did a great job of work there Sanbaz. Very well done. I was thinking of a nice seating area too. That way you wouldn't have to go to the trouble of removing the rocks. It would look really nice with some trees and plants in pots spread around. :o)

hi gilli. i just treated myself to a small hardwood bistro set and surounded it with pots today,, its not quite how i want the end result but its getting there,, now i can have my breakfast in the summer sunshine,, thats if we get a good summer this year,..baz says he cant see the point in getting another set as we already have a patio set, but thats in the shade till mid morning,, MEN,,, lol, will they ever learn

Well, of course you had to have another set Sanbaz. You don't want to be eating breakfast in the shade. So much nicer to be in the morning sun. :o)

thats what i told baz,, its hard work trying to get him in the garden to eat,, remember there is no TV outside lol,

v funny San & Baz cos my OH is exactly the same. He does help out in the garden, digging and so on, but his tolerance levels of garden activity are low! Sometimes he likes to repaint the fence or do stuff out there as long as he's with his good friend Test Match Special on the radio...
gd job i lurve him : ))

lol weeding,, guess most men are the same,, but we love them :o)

Murray is the same....doesn't like to eat outside either...too many bugs, says he!! LOL.

lol gilli,, i know,,, baz says that to , lol think i will get him a bee keepers hat ha ha

Oooo.....what a good idea!! You could cut a little flap at the front for him to eat through....LOL.

lol gilli, im sure once he has finished his hard work with all the decking he will want to enjoy it dont you?..ummm, we will see

I'm sure that he will be able to do nothing else but enjoy it Sanbaz.
