    I don't neeed anything but it's a long walk when i'm mowing and I'd like something nice to look at.

    The lawn is just over an acre. What is shown in the pictures is what I call "the big bit" and it too is like a bog. To the left of the rubbishy path is a 30 by 25 feet pond. I have to use the pond as a sump and had to lower it's level last year by way of drains so that I could get the lawn mowed. Behind me as I take the pic is one of my perrenial/herbaceous beds. It too is huge. It's raised up out of the wet and has the added value of a boggy bit for hostas and zantedeschia and candelabra primula.

    It's a brilliant garden because the man here before was dead keen but he was in failing health so it's very....untidy shall we say?!?!

    The other end, closer to the house, is the "pretty" bit...or it will be. I have dry stone wally bits and slopey banky bits and proper lawn that has grass in it. (Did you spot the rushes??)

    Don't even start me about the bandstand!!!!! image
