    heres pics of before of my back yard hopefully in 2 weeks time the weather will be better to start the decking and put small fencing up to divide bottom of neighbours part, i took some moss up on my area yesterday just need to put moss killer down but cant do it till its dry been a bit of snow in the night.
    ive just ordered from thompson & morgan clotted cream jazmine 5 plants in 5cm pots thanks marley for the link, im going to put them on each side of my arch which is going in front of my back door, cant wait to get it done. going to garden centre in march see what else i can get for my yard as i dont get sun probably because the yard walls are that high im pleased really as it makes it private.
    anyway heres pics will update later.

    its a nice space - reminds me of my garden in london

    it looks bigger than your last garden space and you will make it wonderful - i love your metal chairs perfect for a quiet coffee in the garden

    Ooh rosa, what a great space...!! :thumb: Get rid of the garage door & you will have your own space.....!! I know you will have that looking a picture very soon I know..!! You actually have quite allot of space, so lets see what sun you do actually get during these coming summer months.... Then you will see what other plants are also suitable for your yard for next year..!! :thumb: Great stuff rosa it is a big step you have taken now so lets see what you do with the yard compared to your balcony... You are spoilt for space almost at present I am sure but it will soon be full...!!! :yho:

    thanks everyone, redstar and lollipop yes i moved, marley that whole yard area isnt mine its a shared yard so im putting half way near my back door a small fence and gate and getting a small shed ive seen in B&Q, apparently i dont get sun here so have to look for plants that will be ok.
    loopy those green chairs are plastic the other ones are metal maybe thats the ones you mean, i have a large wooden table and directors chairs so just need to put table up think i will wait till the decking is put down hopefully its getting started beginning march just hope weather is fine.
    once i get it done will take more pics and put them up

    Go Rosa :yho:

    Sorry I haven't been around much - I have been a bit preoccupied with things here and now have another "thing" to contend with - oh the joys of having two sons :dh: At my age I would just like a quiet life. We have missed you off the forum too.

    I am soooo excited for you and your new space to fill with plants, pots, chairs etc. As Marley said you will have it looking fantastic soon and you have moved in at just the right time. Look forward to seeing more pics.

    I didn't know you had moved, if your yard ends up looking like your balcony it will be a picture.:gnthb:
