My Little Haven Part 2

After a few years away and enjoying the garden I thought it was about time I came back with some new garden projects.

The original thread can be found here, this documents the very beginning

My little haven

This was how it all started many years ago


And here we are today







Future plans are as follows

Remove the lawn and replace with fern trees, palms and a path

Remove old shed and replace with tiki bar

All the best Bigbore

 

It's all matured nicely since you last posted and looking good Bigbore.

 

The garden is still going well and maturing each year. Only just got round to finally removing the lawn (4 years later)

Will be adding more tropical plants in the middle section along with a bench..

Wow! It has come on well, looking very tropical.

 

It's been a long journey! But I've enjoyed every minute of it.

Off IKEA today to see what patio furniture they have, also bought some pineapple lily's for a large pot that will go on the patio.

 

Which ones, I have five varieties and love 'em all

 

Finally some sun in the garden!



Even Hugo is enjoying it



My main aim is to attract the wild birds to the garden, so started feeding every day with lots of feeders and also decided to put in some boxes



Then finally a treat for the patio and some outside entertainment



Next job is to harden off the ricinus plants..
Finish off digging the rustic walkway and gravel..
Finish off the shed border and gravel

 

You have done a grand job there. I love the tropical theme. Where do you live that you can maintain tropical?

I look forward to keeping up with your progress.

 

Many thanks for your kind words, I am in the East Midlands not a million miles from East Midlands Airport..

I have lots of plans for this year, so you will see lots more tropical plants being planted

 

mmmmm Good question, l am actually not sure on which variety i ordered now

 

Loving these warmer evenings, getting so many jobs done!

Started to paint all of the fences, pond, sleepers and patio planter box



Then it was time to dig around the shed and lay some edging ready for the walkways



Also doing my bit for the local bird population



And finally I need to work out how to dig these up and pot them up without killing them!

 

You have certainly been a busy bee!

 

Your garden is lovely and very calming, a wonderful place to relax in
