Just catching up on all the pics - you all have such beautiful gardens, and I love seeing how everyone's individual style shines through!
Hollie, the yellow and blue are violas. First time I have used them this year, and I am now a real fan. As Lizzie's beautiful sundial shows, they just go on and on!
Morning all! Sun shining here at last, but only until Wednesday! I do wish you Brits would stop sending all your rain over here!!
Lizzy your double aquiligias are gorgeous. The seeds I bought from Irland weeks ago are just beginning to peep through. I hope they will be as lovely as yours, got 4 different colours.
Hi everyone, just signed up so thought i`d post a photo of my garden about a week before i moved in, in Sept 2011. The old chap who had the bungalow before me lost interest after his wife passed away years ago, but apparently he was a keen gardener, hence the huge greenhouse. I`ll post some more recent ones shortly.
These photos were taken when we had summer back in April, the gorgeous fence is to keep the puppy off until she`s trained to stay off, it has been replaced by green fencing before the neighbours think i`m completely insane. Hopefully the horsetail is dead as i havn`t seen any so far this year, the bindweed that has just appeared has had a dose of weedkiller put on it yesterday as has started to brown off already, just the ground elder to go
All the areas you can see with the road scalpings on are the areas for decking, i had to dig the soil down by about a foot, fill with rubble and top off with the scalpings, hopefully i`ll get the decking done this year. All the soil had to sieved by hand to get the horsetail out and then compost added ( back breaking work for sure).
Hi Fred, you're working wonders, back breaking as you say but you'll get there, you've done a lot in such a short time. Good luck, looking forward to more photos as you progress. Welcome to the forum..very knowledgeable folks, friendly & fun..hope you enjoy as much as I do.
p.s. At least you don't post tiny photos like I do. Haven't got the hang of it yet.
It`s pretty easy KEF, but then i`ve been using forums for donkeys years (especially the one`s that use old format). Click on the tab that looks like a tree^ click select to choose a photo from your computer, once you`ve chosen the photo by clicking on it and highlighting it blue, then click open. You`ll then see the file name appear next to where it says select, click on upload, it will take about 15 to 20 secs to upload and then it will ask you to save it, so save it and voila it will appear on your post, here`s a photo i took earlier
