    Good luck with she'd painting today Yviestevie image

    Hope you had a lovely holiday.  Sounds like you have been real busy bee since you have been home image Loved your pot you posted on forkers the other day. 

    As you can tell I'm trying to catch up today image

  • Lovely pics everyone.

    Love the bench Fairy,  lovely colour.

    Perfect colour combinations Fairy image 

    Do you have somewhere to store it over winter?

  • BizzieBBizzieB Posts: 885

    Beaus, thank you for the encouragement image 

    Before I actually dig the border I'm going to mark it out, as AT advises, with string to see how the shape will look. Then sit and look at it for a while  image . The berberis needs a careful prune so will do that first anyway.

    I saw the photo of your big shed cover-up, by the way, it was looking good then, how does it look now? Any progress photos?

    Think it's hose pipe AT says Bizzie? imageAnd didn't our lovely Geoff do with bottle of sand?

    Ill take some update pics tomorrow along with your black grasses image There is some progress as I re arranged some tall obelisks and added couple of plants I already had in pots, a honeysuckle and a climbing hydrangea, that was a laugh getting those out of the pots they had been in for years! I've also added another new honeysuckle a bit further along where there gorgeous washing line is! image Oh and a couple or four climbers from my cheap market man! See I was busy whilst you was Out and about image

    Oh RB we have to have before and after pics of shed door please image

    Yviestevie  where is your shed pic!!!! imageimageimage

     Will be planting the troughs with bulbs later today.  The plant in the pot is a bright blue salvia (can't remember the name) it's a bit tender so will have to go in the GH over winter.

    Hope you approve.

    Oh Yviestevie it looks brilliant, it really looks lovely and the neighbours wood even gives it a nice back drop now don't you think?

    It's gonna get nicer and nicer now with everything you do ie planting up the troughs etc the hanging basket looks really pretty 

    I think your tin container you made the other day would look nice too image

    Hope your aches ease soon

    Bet you keep going out and looking at it, I would image

    Pls update when troughs are planted up, yes I know I'm greedy image
