Sexy curves eh ? Modelled on your own figure? Either way very impressive. How times change found a real old gardening book of the 1930s which states that curves to be avoided as creates an unsymmetrical look. The chemicals recommended would have given Tony Blair an excuse to invade your garden shed!

my propagator looks just like this so here are my tips... once seeds are sown keep it in a bright position but not direct sunshine as seedlings may become too hot and spindly. Slide open the ventilators bit by bit until fully open within a week. You can use pots or seed trays or even direct into the propagator but remove the matting if doing the latter and water cautiously. you will get condensation every day and will need to wipe this away i just give it a shake. Water using the inlet in the corner to avoid disturbing the plants. The matting when wet will spread the heat more evenly, increase humidity and extend the watering interval. If you want to raise the compost temperature you can remove this matting! As far as temperature goes i am not sure what it goes up to but it can be regulated by the positioning and ventilation. You can put a garden thermometer in if you wish. All my veg and flower seeds have germinated in record time and have become strong healthy plants. This is a fantastic addition to your garden I wouldn't be without mine!

Beautiful sweeps! I can never tire of seeing curves in a garden! There's a surprising amount in there too!

GREAT shot Spritz. I've never thought to take photos of the back garden from my bedroom window on the second floor. I will have to try it.

 

I bet the postman enjoys the view on his way to your door.

 

lol Yes it's great fun & I like your new project, I agree it won't be much fun waving bye bye to your plants lol. Do you get ducks in the stream at all?
My next project is sorting the front garden, I've done some changes to it, however it's not pulling my heart strings, so I will keep mulling it over for a while & see what creative thoughts inspire me :)

 

That's an interesting tree trunk!

 

lol & you love him to bits :) I heard once that there is some sort of mineral they obsorb from gnawing on stones, not sure if it's so.
Your Ash tree will grow old gracefully :) I'd like to see a photo of the tree with snow, do you have one? if not I'll wait till winter comes again :)
Anyway how come it's always raining where you are lol, there has not been much rain here for a few weeks now, just an hour or two here & there, in fact I've been out for the last week watering my pots, not that I'm trying to dampen your day even more lol

 

This is my kind of garden, love it! Love the brick edging, nice cottage garden feel; right up my street!
