Well, I think it's great. Puts my effort to shame, but I enjoy it and that's the main thing isn't it. Just ignore all the silly snippers. Not worth bothering about.
Thanks both. My wife dose the plants. I do the hard landscaping. Takes time though and of course cash. Trying to do things on a budget is the worst part. We scourer the B&Q garden dept for plants at bargain prices. Some are near death but persistence brings them round. Plus we have a local Aldi and they are always having budget plants in. It is the only way we can do it. O seeds of course. We have discovered Chiltern seeds this year. They are very reasonable on prices.
Like the way you're using the different levels GW - my back garden is all one level and virtually square - I'm having to think hard how to build some structure into it.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
The different levels are because our garden slopes up quite a lot. Believe me it is hard work carving out the levels. I long for a level garden. Strange how we all want different to what we have.
We did se a garden earlier this year that wsrealy small and flat. It was out of this world how they had done it.They had made raised strucures and planted them out with Ferns and the like all very what you might say overcrowded but the effect was stunning. We have some DVD's of I think it is Matt James. The City Gardener. All his gardens are small but all are a real treat to the eye. worth a look

Managed it. This is some time back just after I built Summer house. A lot of earth was moved.
Do I rank as a Gardener yet? or a figure of fun.

Looks great, golf whiskey. Verdun, I have to agree with your last couple of posts.

Yes, Chiltern seeds have a wonderful selection, don't they?
We like their catalogue. Very humerus and well presented
Really? I must get it. I love plant catalogues but am sometimes bored by seed catalogues.
