    Thanks cloud8! I just watched that. Very interesting! I do love roses, and can't wait to get my first ones.

    And thanks for the comment about the garden. It is improving slowly. I've learnt it all takes time and not to rush it. image

    Hi Insomnia1973,

    you have had some great advice on here so far so I won't write a novel and repeat what others have suggested!...

    What you have achieved so far is amazing and like yourself and others I am in the 'has to be done now' group also!

    I have been working on my garden for approx two years and have managed  to achieved quite a bit. Much of the work has been done on a tight budget using 'recycled / free to collector' type materials! I have kept a blog of the work and projects as I have gone along so please feel free to take a look and pinch any ideas which might work for you!?....

    Hope this helps

    Keep up the good work and our 'has to be done now' reputation!!

    Best

    Ooh, I'll have a nosey at that in a bit! I love looking at what people do/have done!

    Thanks Higgy! image

    No probs, sometimes you can get an idea from what someone else has done. If i can help then great!

    You really are Insomniac then (past midnight!!)....

    Cheers

    Ha ha ha! Yep. Only bad thing is so is my Jess, my 3 year old! She's still wide awake as I type! image

    Lol, I have a four year old!!....

    Gardening is great for them though if you can get them interested! A little patch of their own is great if you have room?

    I have included a play area in the garden which might be of interest if your happy to search through my postings on my blog....

    Paths and secret areas are also good for keeping them interested as is spotting wildlife in the garden....

    Well, jess has just dropped off, but I've now started watching 'Children of the Corn'! LOL Wish my corn looked like the ones in the film! image

    Must say I like Higgy's garden. I like the ethos of his garden, and I like the way he's done it. His entire blog is well worth a read, from the beginning, for anyone, if they have the time.

    (You can even see photos of the stacks of bags of compost he used to improve his soil; not that you'd want to do that).

    Have not seen Children of the Corn, but perhaps you might include space for an altar to the Corn Goddess, if that appeals. Perhaps in the little area behind the headboards.

    Thanks Gary. I have had a quick look, but to sit and read it thoroughly, I need peace and quiet, with the little one asleep. I never got that last night! image

    And I wouldn't recommend Children Of the Corn. I love my horror/supernatural, but it was just boring! And made me jealous! LOL

    Here's why! Their corn...

     and then my corn....Hmm

    Just no comparison! image

    Oh I can beat your corn but not theirs!!! LOL Unfortunately no pictures to prove it though!!

    This is the first year that I've grown sweetcorn and it's done really well..... Unfortunately I can't stand the stuff!! LOL

    I watched a good horror film a few weeks ago set in a house in the middle of a corn field and the scarecrows were coming to life and killing everyone!.... I'll let you know what it was called when I can remember!.....

    Thanks Gary for your comments about the blog they are appreciated!.... you must have been bored if you read it all the way through! image
