    My front garden is now starting to take shape still got a few plants to put in like my centre piece when i decide what but most of the hard work's been done. The garden was all red chips when i moved in so decided to make a real garden instead of just chips here's the before and after photo's as i live in a mid terrace house the bins are at the front so i came up with this to hide them from the pavement & road.

    Before just after lifting the red chips.

    That's a really clever trick Andy.

    I may need to borrow the idea as our council are about to supply wheelie bins although I am aggrieved that they now wish to charge for the removal of garden waste.

    What DO I pay my poll-tax for?

    Pics of Acer Griseum & Prunus Serrula as promised.

    The Acer is 35 yrs old, mistake made when young it should have been allowed to reach 6' before letting side branches develop. Prunus about 28yrs old.

    Phew, actually got pics on, thanks to Salino's advice. Can't remember who mentioned both trees think it was on "if you could have anything in your garden".

    Wintersong are you still paying poll tax...you're way behind imageimage

    Just another way to hump the already hard pressed, hard working public.

    But they want you to recycle...... image

    Lovely pix KEF!

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
