I'm a new subscriber to Gardeners World and I have rarely watched the programmes in the past; but I think I'm becoming a convert. I'd be interested in any comments on my "blog". It's not really a blog it was just a way to save what I've done in a way I could keep and show my friends and family; I've no intention of adding weekly updates or whatever it is that bloggers do. It's also my first time using WordPress so apologies to those of you who are expert at these things.

    What a lovely garden,you are obviously enjoying yourself in creating it!

    I like the idea of the raised block beds.As you get older they are easier to maintain!!

    Last year I had my pond changed from one in the ground to a raised one.

    The pond in the ground was getting to be a chore to maintain as I am not as 'bendy' as I once was and with the raised pond I can really enjoy it and watch the fish as I sit on the edge.

    That's a good, solid looking raised pond.   Great idea for aging knees.

    Love the breeze block raised beds too.  I shall be pricing some up for our own veggie plot before springing them on OH.

    You've made a lovely job with those breezeblocks, bplp, and lovely colourful planting!  Quite a transformation from that large area of paving which always looks rather drab and sterile I think.

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
