Sunshine here - forecast to last the day. So much to do in the garden i don't know where to start. I think a haphazard approach may be less daunting than a plan.
OH has nearly finished making our new (deer proofed) veg garden - its looking fab, and he has done it all from scratch himself. Raised beds, new hedges planted, iron gates, GH moved in, trampoline moved out. There are 8 fruit trees which we planted 4 years ago, when the plan was hatching, and they help to make it look established. I am very proud
Can I borrow your hubby chick? Could do with an extra pair of hands for the heavy stuff. Veg garden sounds great - has he done some of his lovely metal work?
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
He has Fairy - 2 pairs of gates, some stepover apple frames and a sweetpea frame in construction. Excuse the green netting - waiting for hazel hurdles to arrive.
Now need to wait for the beech hedges to grow and thicken up
Chick - it's really superb. Is that Verdun on the pergola to keep interlopers out? Hedge will be lovely in a year or two and it'll really set it all off.
Now you just need to get him making them more quickly and he can have a nice little cottage industry to keep him busy in his man shed!
I won't offer to come and paint all the trellis...

Thanks for the comments - will pass them on! Trellis stays unpainted, wouldn't know where to begin.
The little man guarding might be Verdun - he was bought from a roadside "whittler" in Austria a few years ago - but he was very cagey as to who he used as his model ....

Looking great Chicky, and I thought my OH was clever making my little picket fence, that's brilliant
Dove, I noticed the birds were very happy this morning too
Just researching Christmas holiday ski-ing, was there someone on here that goes skiing?
Have lovely day everyone, hope you get a bit of sunshine at least.

Chester? Well I am surprised, but it wasn't a bad guess given where you live
You'd be there for ever more painting it chick. It took me about 2 hours to paint each
6 x 2 piece on the fence. It's the same kind with the smaller holes.
Hubby can always hang his coat on the 'little man'
