    Wow you have everything in your patch and all looking lovely too and especially Ollie, he is well cute image What have yougot in the sink? I love the slabs you have for your path way. You have inspired me to get cracking as lost my oomph when the sun went in! Hope you have a lovely day and we can catch up later image

    Thanks Beaus mum. The sink is an alpine garden with a Geum in for good measure image, I've only had it a few months and can't believe how much it's all grown.  There is a thread somewhere called Belfast sinks with more pics image

    OL, that bit of your garden looks fabulous; love the fence, very redolent of cottage gardens at Chelsea Flower Show. Do you have an old bench in there?image

    Thank you Artjak, no old bench, there's no room, it's full of veg image Oh and fruit bushes to feed the birds with image

    Hi orchid lady I agree with art jack and it does look very cottagey, the look I try to achieve in my garden but it is hard work and don't know how you do it with veg too!

    Ive been out all afternoon cutting back and will try and get some pics later to share with you

    Later tonight I'll def look up the Belfast sink thread as do love em!

    Ps I've been followed around the garden all afternoon by the most cutest baby thrush image I'll try and get a pic of him too image

    OL, could you not put a nicely dilapidated bench just outside that area?

    BM; looking forward to seeing picsimage

    Hmmm, I'd love one but not sure where I would put it, we have a picnic bench that is on the lawn and I do have a thing chair image



    Looking forward to your pics BM and really my 'bit' wasn't that difficulty the easiest bit if my garden, I just let it do it's own thing really once I'd planted/sown everything image
