    @Paul B3, food for thought.
    Can I ask if you are the same person as @B3

    No , and I don't really understand where the 'B3' epithet originated from ; some guiding hand played a role in my fate , and forever now I'll be known as Paul B3 !!!!!

    So B3 is someone else entirely. I fear I have been mixing you up. I thought you maybe had two accounts.

    Only the one account !

    Have just found your thread from early June re:- 'Outrageous behaviour' etc . Amusing to say the least !
    My thread  'Robbing the dead?.....or preserving some unusual plants' certainly opened up a can of worms .
    Everything worked out well in the end , but it was an agreeable thread to get involved with .

    Every time they post together it's like the world's worst game of Battleships.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    I suspect both are very witty, which makes it even harder to remember which is which.
  • Ohh I have got many dreams connected with my garden! One of them is having a greenhouse. I want to make one on my own, because it is cheaper way and also more satisfying. What is more, I would like to renovate my well, but funds unable it to my now:( And obviously new fruit trees! If only I had more money and place...:D

    Beg, borrow and, as @Paul B3 would put it 'preserve unusual plants' :# Gardening doesn't have to be expensive if you work with what's available and don't mind waiting longer to get results. I doesn't help with space sadly but you have to work with what you have.

    Well hopefully I’m building my dream garden, arches with grapes hanging down, quiet space in the corner for coffee morning and wine evening, and a place for the kids to play or just get away from the house.

    The only thing out of reach is a 25m lane pool so I can get a few kilometres of swimming in whenever I feel like it, get my boy back swimming and hold pool parties. But the price tag is five figures plus maintenance :(

    It's more a question of what I dream of NOT having - cement mixers, piles of rubble, scaffold frames, diggers, rolls of pipe, heaps of concrete blocks and bags of cement.
    Oh dear :/ how long till you get your garden back? What a pain, especially in summer :s
    We've lived here nine years so far but no sign of it ending. I am slowly reducing the area across which the building work stretches, but every now and then there's a little outbreak and a heap of something gets displaced. I had a nice patio to sit on last year - there are two cement mixers and a big pile of rocks on it now  :( 
    Building the house takes precedence over making the garden, and I am glad to have indoor plumbing. But as so many visitors remark as they gaze around at the wreckage - "well, it'll be lovely when it's finished".
