Its a bit late now Gary but I do object very strongly about you posting my entire photobucket album on here, you could at least have had the decency to ask me !
Yes, it is nice to see the changes and think 'I did that on my own!' Although, when I started lifting slabs I wondered 'What on earth was I thinking!' LOL They were heavy! But I love sitting out there now, watching Jess play, and planning my next move. I've sown some of my free Hollyhock seeds yesterday into individual pots. Not sure where I'm going to put them yet. Just got to wait for my wire for the post next week, and my garden sieve to sort all that soil in the beds.
I love standing in my garden just staring, imagining what am i going to do next. My main fault is i have to have everything done ASAP! and i have to keep saying to myself that gardening is a hobby and cannot be rushed.
I am with Hollie with pallets, i built my lawn mower shed out of them and i will be painting it soon. When taking pallets apart, take your time and don't re-use the nails. I have tried this and it didn't end well and the old nails can be a pig to remove.
LOL Dan, I'm exactly the same. I'm going to be here years, but seem to want it all done NOW! And with no help, except a 3 year old trying to supervise me, it just aint gonna happen! But I haven't got the huge land you have! Exciting!
I saw your Mower Hotel! Very Cool, and great use of wood. I eye up everything at the moment, wherever I am, seeing what I can re-use in the garden. I am currently splitting/ripping apart two single mattresses, to get to the metal framework inside, to see if I can use it for climbing plants! The neighbours think I'm potty! They are right!!!
My neighbours think i'm stange because of the standing in the garden and staring, mapping out in my head what i'm going to do. I really must put some clothes on while i'm doing that.
LOL!! Yep, I've just been out taking a photo of my tom plant, and I'm sure I heard 'What is she doing' being whispered from next door! Keep them guessing, that's my motto!
This is quite a useful clip on training a rose up a pillar if you ignore the gumf during the first minute. David Austin roses do a free brochure which will give you an idea of climbers that you can get for the amount of sunlight you receive.
The garden has improved such a lot from your first photo. Please keep us updated with pics. I'm having a terrible job digging up all of the rubbish in my garden so I empathise.

Nice! I better get asking around, although not a problem. Have quite got used to the idea of growing something up it!

My sincere apologues, Rain. I was merely trying to provide Becks with some inspiration, and yours is a public album.
Hi Hollie- Hock!
