Just thought id show you all a new part finished in my front garden,finally got it planted up today,its made out of pallets again which involved a lot of digging and sieving,planted in my new bed are Heucheras,hostas,verbenas,acer,salvias and helianthemum

Im hoping by next summer all these plants would have grown and spread out :)

Its going along nicely Whdebor, its amazing what gets done with pallets. You`ve got a nice selection of plants and this time next year they should fill our the bed nicely.

Wonderful results from the pallets, Whdebor! And more to be built with your newest find of more pallets :)

You've got some nice plants there and it's going to be very attractive once they spread their wings and mature.

Have a good weekend...I'm just about to go out again into the garden to shift some sand as hubby has bought us a wheelbarrow in the Focus closing-down sale :) I have been out planting and arranging, clearing up etc. for about 5 hours and having some sit downs inbetween. It is heavenly out there as long as I remember to get into the shade occasionally....or it's sunburn for me with my red (now-greying!!) hair!

Thanks Whdebor...just about to hop into the shower now. I have been out in the garden in my crocs and my feet haven't seen so much dirt and grime since I was a kid, I'm sure....lol

I am shattered with all the fresh air and garden chores...and I love it :)

You'll be busy planting up your 3rd box....have fun.
