Im doing lots of landscaping to the bottom of my garden. Today I dug out for a new path wich will consist of a circular cobbled paved area in the centre.
Heres before..
And now..
It takes some nerve changing something that already looked acceptable, but I really like the idea of having a circular cobbled area like this random google image shows..
But im making life harder for myself as Im going to plant the large box ball shown in the top photo into the centre of it, and then take a path off the circle and upto the greenhouse.
Cut the grass and finished adding the hard core ready to finish off my path through the garden I am using reclaimed brick so far every one who has seen it says I love your path so I must be doing a good job!
It's a campanula, Kent Bell. Three years ago the deer were eating lots of my plants and they nearly finished that one off. Then my OH fenced the main bit of flower garden and the Kent Bell just re-appeared last year, quite small. Now it's huge!
There is some wire netting just behind that bed which you can just see a bit of. It is on a wall which drops down behind it. The garden is on a slope which is terraced by walls, but it doesn't show much in photos.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

Nice idea LF. A garden (or perhaps a gardener) needs a change sometimes
In the sticks near Peterborough
Like all the photos on here - Not done much in garden just sorting out seedlings really
Another bed weeded.

BL, That looks a lovely border. Whats the large plant towards the front?
Monty, sounds good, any photos please?

Some great photos on here. Just a couple of days away and so much catching up to do.
