Garden Projects and DIY

Update on this project, grass has took well and things have started to flower quite pleased how this area has developed .

I'd be tempted to continue that hedge up the fence. Maybe a hydrangea in the corner and the rest herbaceous perennials

So happy, looks like Photobucket has stopped the ransom of peoples pictures, i see a lot have come back... Good to be back and good to catch up on all of the posts.. My garden hasn't changed much... here is a quick video just at the beginning of springenjoy

Hi @CanadianLori the main thing is Barrettine preserver Railway Sleeper Treatments - Wood Finishes Direct

Thanks but it's not an option Tetters. My bedroom window is just above there and I live in a bungalow. I believe they cling too which will damage the stone covering on the walls. I may introduce a climber at some point to the left behind the Geranium but meanwhile will plant tall plants at the...

What an amazing transformation . Well done, you should be very proud of what you've achieved. I look forward to the next instalment with your pond - including pics, of course.

Some really interesting suggestions, thank you.
