        Thanks everyone, it's been a long time coming after being let down on two Bungalows.
        I can at last plant everything in the ground after having everything in pots for years. Going from one extreme to another, solid clay to very sandy soil.
        We'll be moving in a couple of weeks after we've had a carpet laid and some painting done.
        Nice to have you back Alice.
        Thanks for offering yourself as a folly Ziggy.:heehee:
        Here are a few pics of the overgrown back garden, it's not that big but it'll do for me. Need a bigger greenhouse though.

          It's got lots of potential strongy. Plenty of light too.

          Even more when I cut back the row of Lilac behind the fence, which are ours anyway, it's level too just right for an oldie!:)
