The fruits of labour has been rewarded with blooms of flowers and the they have filled up nicely Ian. How do you keep the weeding to a minimum or have you found a way to stop them from etching into the beds?
Cheers,
Richard

Very nice Ian , I see you have some maples as well .Watch those in very hot weather the leaves can suffer burn up, so plenty of water at the base and if you can shade .
Love the wisteria, give that a couple years and it will be a great cover to the top .Comment

Well chaps,
You certainly have put some great effort into your beautiful gardens:nerd:,
So much so,that you inspired me to get to work on mine,in the past my Greenfingered skills have been,shall we say,a tad lacking:flushed:,
HOWEVER ,spurred on by your success,i read up on techniques and processes,invested in the latest equipment, and went and got stuck in to the patio and shrubbery which was looking a bit sorry for itself:anguished:.
I think you`ll agree that my new found Percy Thrower esk talents are plainly evident:thumb2: ,
It is quite hot and sunny here today,so the pic is a little glary ....
No,No.... hold back with the praise...... i couldn`t have done it without your inspiration

Cheers Richard. The beds are reasonably easy to weed, there is some crabgrass that is a bit of a pain but generally a quick walk around and we can get to most of them. It's the boarders that are a pain. The back out onto open farmland. = loads of weeds.
The new bed we just made in the front garden is after the no dig principle. Grass cut right down to the ground, a couple of layers of wetted down corrugated card, that stops the light, thus perennial weeds. Then 10 - 15 cm compost and soil mix on top.Comment

Very nice Garden IanComment

Just thought I would share a photo or two of the Hortensia bed. I have a problem with the one end of the bed! They are all planted the same day but those at the right Just will not grow! one of them has even almost died back and has a singe stem with a couple of leaf and a single flower!
Thinking about it the two red ones at the back are planted a year later and are cuttings taken from a large plant that was getting a haircut.Comment

Carina aka SWMBO is sooooo close to getting her fire pit.
WE have been doing the base, two segments at a time, for a few weeks. Yesterday we finished the last segment. Now we just need a low 30 - 40 cm stone wall around the back 2/3
More news as it happens.Comment
