  • You've been busy! Now everything's cleared, good chance to redo the fence panels in a single colour stain/preservative

    Be careful with chainsaws near the ground, you run the risk of hitting something hard and it kicking back. Not worth it

    Congratulations :D It is always exciting to get a new garden!

    What do you want from your garden? Somewhere just for relaxation or are you looking for fruit, veg, children's play areas…...

  • Id liike to be able to grow veg, and it'll be the kids garden to play too, i have the decking for relaxing :)

    I have my husbands gran who grows cucumber which my eldest son loves, so will be nice to provide them for him :)

  • Thank you,

    well the corner to the right at the bottom has now been cleared and a root pulled out, so is ready for the husbands shed to put up sometime in the nexzt 5 days, depending on the father in laws availability :)

    ive purchased some of those herb pots you can get fromm tescos and repotted those in some bigger tubs, and have them by the walls in the garden for now, also got a cute 3 point planter box and done some hyacinth, as thats my all time favourite flower :D

    Cant wait to continue getting the tree roots gone :D
