As promised here's a few pics..
As you can see I have a tiny bit of space, to be honest it actually looks bigger in the pics.

Wooden fence at back in front of Kennel which takes up half the garden.

I am planning on puttiing small trough planters all around the fence and kennel and more hanging baskets along the wall.

All the planters are along wall outside fence at moment as we have a puppy at moment and the two things didn't mix

Hi Chimera - your dogs are gorgeous

Does anyone know when I can start putting my peas out please? After all signs of frost? The packet said to plant them outside from March, but I've been sowing them inside in newspaper pots but they are growing at a rate of knots and I don't want them to keel over and die!!

TIA (as always)

You can put them out now.( i think) If they are likely to get chomped by birds get some netting over them to deter
