Re: Garden - front


Looking good! But don't overdo, stick to supervising; you're not 100% yet! I'm like Mags, find it hard to uproot a plant that's outgrown its space or usefulness .......

Re: Garden - front


I have a HUGE grass that is just that - too big and has outgrown it's space. I am planning to dig it up in the Spring and split it and replant a smaller piece. I know you can't do that with a conifer. Not sure about your other plant.

Re: Garden - front


Well all systems go today but had a Doctors appointment myself then took Mom to hospital (seems she may need a new hip ) today was the start of it an xray. So day limited. But got a fair bit done hope to be finished by the weekend pictures soon.

Sounds as if all's going well, Kazz. Sorry to hear about your Mum and the hip replacement; a friend had it and made a world of difference.

Re: Garden - front


Here you are pretty much finished now. Just tulips to plant now, and few finishing touches.....Yes some of the acers have been rehomed.....

The centre gravekl around the circle is not white but blue/pink/peachey/try
to get a close up when the weather improves these were taken yesterday Sept 30th. The plan is there hope it works.....we'll see. But def labour saving.



Birds eye views.....Bed with stepping stone in top of picture has the baby green acer in it "centre piece" the other side the path backing is Ernie the acer then in front 3 pieris's with conifier and planted with same perrenials as the other dirt bed. Minus the peonies and poppies.



This bed next to neighbours garden is bigger than I realised so split it with the gravel to highlight that part of the garden the planting is evergreen at the back have cut back the red robin as I do every third year. In the front bed it has perrenials and of course my beloved peonies/poppies too. And a centre pieris to follow on from the other still "dirt" bed.


Centre 3 pots planted up with Pansies and autumn/winter bedding.

Thank you Eileen.

I have been asked by 4 people to do theirs but won't as it is very personal I think gardening, plus not up to it. Only exception I think would be yours....I'd help you great minds and all that,

Re: Garden - front


Looks great Kazz. You have worked so hard on that and it has paid off. Think it will mature nicely.
