My garden... In 10 months ( not 3 years)

Well then, as my Dad (the life and times of this old git) has shamed me into showing you my garden, I feel that i must bore you with it.....

We moved into the lovely town of Malmesbury wiltshire in June 2006 and my little garden looked like this............

As you can see a bit of a nightmare. the poor dog (only had tara then) got lost and needed a map to go to the loo....

so................. we began.................

We also got the puppy i told you about Poppy the Rottie who is quite tiny there i must say

As you can see we started with a fence all the way round to hide the mass of weeds etc out of the back. we then put in a Dorset cobble bed for the plant pots to sit on.. Added a terracotta shingle coloured path, separated by rigid log edging(the ones that are 3ft long with 2 spikes either end, not the roll).........................

This next pic is approximately late February this year and the plants are on the way, a lavender , salix and a couple of miniature rhododendron's.....

Gosh was that really the same time of the year.. scary

Oh and i must say that "Spikey" a cordyline mum and dad bought me (the one the puppy chewed) is still safely wrapped up to protect him.

THEN.. Dad gave me some fuchsia's (well actually he gave me them the year before and i had to look after them!! What... they only died once)

Anyway most of these are destined to becoming standards... not big ones but standards all the same

And now the finished (well almost never enough in the garden and always changing)item...We love it and are very proud of what we have achieved in such a short time this was taken only a few Weeks ago. my husband worked really hard with me and we are happy with it......

I must add the pup likes it too she is eight months old now, time flys..
