    @WonkyWomble. I love the  first picture. It's worthy of Chelsea. Not entirely appropriate for this thread. I aspire to that green drippy wildness. I want to fight my way down the garden and find that. Has your camera been too kind?
    PS I would never go inside. I would pretend.

    What a wonderful thread! Why haven’t I seen it before? I feel so much better now. I was feeling very inadequate reading about some of you planting and potting and weeding, while I struggled with the brambles. I’ll horrify you with some pictures when I next venture out!

    We look forward to it. Don't forget! @Ergates

    @B3 the first picture is just to indicate how looks can be deceiving! And it is at the bottom of the garden once you have squeezed and hacked your way through!
    I knew id be chic one day but worthy of Chelsea?! Maybe with a soft filtered lens!

    @Ergates. You’ll have to go some to horrify us😀

    Still waiting with bated breath @Ergates!
    The whole truth is an instrument that can only be played by an expert.

    I know, sorry! I have to remember to take my iPad out to the garden.

    Too rainy to venture out to the worst bits,  but here are views from two windows.
    We lowered a retaining wall two years ago, and sloped the earth down from the lawn. The plan is to grass it. However, haven’t got round to it yet, so we have this messy bit of scrub, complete with willowherb and wild strawberries.

    And here is the pile of soil, which is supposed to be distributed over some uneven ground elsewhere. It’s much bigger than it looks in this photo....

    The abandoned wheelbarrow shows real promise.

    I agree, it needs a flat tyre or only one handle to really set it off, though.
    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
