Err, perhaps. Hadn't really thought that far in front yet. I wouldn't mind a bit of black bamboo but it's stupidly expensive. I'll have to wait until I can "acquire" some.



I'm not. I think I've ordered the liner a bit on the small side, so I'll have to be careful not to dig it too big. The shelf won't be as big as in the picture - can't really be wider than the end bits.

If I can get it half as good-looking as mrbadexample snr's, I'll be well pleased:

When MBE senior is bored and wants a new challenge, my mums garden is just around the corner:D

Yes, yes it is. :rotfl: However, he's fast approaching 70, and it's as much as he can do to keep on top of it as it is. He's already had to have some of the hedges taken out and replaced with fencing, as the trimming was too much. Less places for the birds to nest.

Here's a few more to let you know what I'm up against:











I'm not having fish though.

I'm a bit bored today because it's raining and I can't get much done. So in a tribute to Little Vics and her potato-growing skills, I'm cultivating a few random appearances myself. I've one in the compost bin:



And two by the rhubarb:

Stunning garden you know you are going to have to help him so it keeps looking that nice.

Not done much gardening it far too wet been baking instead and now off to help my friend unpack helped her move as well. Have potted on 2 mini sunflowers and that is it.

What have you baked? That's another hobby of mine!

I know, he could use a bit more help. He's got a leak in the fishpond that badly needs sorting. Unfortunately, I'm about 200 miles and £60 in fuel away.

He's the same sort of age as my mum, ok scrap that idea. He has a great garden, and it would appear you have inherited his greenfingers so in a few yeas time yours may look the same;)

It's a very remote place isn't it, I wish there was mainline train nearby, that would help.........don't think the steam train counts!

I'm bored laying carpet, but at least it's the last section.....tea break over.........

No chance! Have you seen how much stuff he's got that you can't eat? :eek: :rotfl:
