    This is more or less the befores and afters NB

    The dogwood at the far end is now in view from this end of the garden whereas before it was blocked by dead tree and brambles.

    The gap between the trees was to the left of the tree stump but the tree on the left was dead so it had to go. I had the brushcutter out today and the lawnmower and I'm Knackered! image

    That's gardening with a big "G" Plant Pauper! 

    A nice hot Radox ("other products are available") bath should be in order after all that!

    Ooh - aym280 - 30p! Thats given me an idea for small patch of ground I have in front garden which is a bit bare :-)

    My garden and I live in South Wales.

    GWRS, AuntyRach it is a big job right enough. image

    My predecessor was a keen gardener but did daft things and left stuff at his behind! The bit I'm working on is one of his dumping grounds but that means I can measure how far I've come. I used to only be able to get as far as the parasol holder, now I'm out past the ladder and plastic sheeting!!! imageYesterday I got my brushcutter jammed into the end of a rotted sleeper. I was well and truly stuck! imageThere are holes and tree stumps and sleepers and giant stones. What I'm going to do with it after it's cleared I don't know. I can't figure out how to level it.

    My vision is a wooded glade with Silver Birch and wood anemones and bluebells and wild primroses.

    I've a bit to go yet. image

    PlantP , what about a skip ? Or dig a big hole and creatre and old style rocky on the burial mound !

    However your vision does sound good image

    In garden at moment , just trimmed Hawthorn tree about to start on hedges , wind dropped from yesterday and sun keeps breaking out image

    If I go for something like this it wouldn't matter if it had burial mounds and holes. It already has a few wee ferns growing.

    BL visited a garden earlier in the year and it had something like it. Parsonage, Vicarage... I'll look it up.

    East Ruston Old Vicarage....looks gorgeous. I'm having that! image

    Oops! It seems to have cropped the good bit off!

    Ha! If only! I'd be straight down the auction like a shot. I'm not sure there's a market for c**p! image
