My garden in progress


These are some pictures of my garden in late May last year and tomorrow I will post some of it now. It looks so bare at the moment as I have ripped almost everything out or moved it and the new plants are just starting to get a few leaves on them but thought it would be nice to do a progress thread.

I'm just concentrating on the plants this year and next year will do the fencing, I know that's a bit backwards but that's my life!

This is May last year:










These are 2 different plants which have been moved to the right border but I don't know what they are? The one in front without flowers in the pic does get small red flowers on it. You can see it has a couple where it is blending into the bigger plant.





That big bush is no more and the big grassy number on the right is the red crocosmia which I have moved to the right side border. The red hot poker in the middle is now away round the front.







Aqueligia which is also going round the front:







This is the wee bit at the front:

My lawn is now a bit more worse for wear but is being re-seeded in a couple of weeks now the dogs are fenced off it.

Your garden is lovely.

I wish I had time to get around to mine, it's starting to resemble a jungle at the minute!

Thank you Kazz, I had that London pride everywhere, about 20 plants, I have a bit less now.

Oh don't even get me started, their weeds and grass keeps coming through the fence and infiltrating! It looks worse now I think, but had to get worse to get better, that is what I keep telling myself!

And the back, ignore the temp wire fence, it's just to keep the dogs off for now, it's going to be replaced by trellis later.

Re: My garden in progress


Those paving slabs on the left of the path are being lifted next week. Also ignore the pile of them on the path, was gonna skip them but my dad (a.k.a the hoarder) wants them so i'm still waiting for him to take them.
