Chris's garden makeoverChris's garden makeoverSpreckly mentioned that I used to post photos of my garden renovations. I had forgotten, so I will start again.
Today I cleared a particular corner. There was a low wall (falling down) surrounding a holly bush or two. The path has not been cleared for many years - if ever - and was covered in matted roots, dead leaves and random rubbish that people choose to lob over my garden wall It is now cleared and the low wall rebuilt. The bed is much bigger than needed for the holly, so I think I might plant some hostas, as they are not fussy about there being less light than other areas. Right, now to rediscover how to post photos ;) This is how I left it yesterday: Removed the rubbish: Rebuilt the wall: It is a 'dry brick' wall ;) And cleared the matted roots from the path My aches from yesterday now have aches of their own Chris xx

Re: Chris's garden makeoverHard work in warm weather! Looking forward to seeing the evolving transformation of a lovely Hosta bed. So many different ones.
I am now a widow and live with my memories.
Re: Chris's garden makeoverI simply love hostas - maybe I can create a national collection

I need to do some work on shifting the weeds from the paths between the deep beds ) Chris xx

Re: Chris's garden makeoverA lot to do Chris. It could do to cool down a bit for you to carry on

Re: Chris's garden makeoverImpressive stuff, Chris. I'm showing the photos to OH......
I enjoy the hard work end of gardening more than the weeding and planting because you get the sense of achievement that you must have. |
