    With summer finally here and everything looking good at the minute, what does everyones garden look like? What have you got to work with? talk about your best / worst areas, and any improvements or changes you plan to make. And remember lots of photos.

          Was wondering where i could put some piccy's of my garden , and here seems the place. My garden is over 220 foot and although it is fairly tidy - this year we decided to sort it out and get a poly tunnel. we have 2 small tunnels and 1 big one ,In the big one we have marrows , courgettes, corn and cabbage growing under an invisible cover , but judging by what other P/T users are saying I'm glad we haven't got the cover on because of this heat .
          Anyway I've been busy doing some potting and painting and making a seating area ....
          The bike was one I used about 20 odd years ago to take the kids for bike rides, I stripped it and gave it a lick of paint and then planted it up. i also made the small birdhouses to the front of the bike , from wood spindles . Oh and we got the bargain gazebo from Gumtree.. £30 cos it had a tear in the roof, good job I can use a sewing machine

              My gardens gone a bit mad.....I really need to pay attention to spacing and not give nasturtiums any Miracle Grow "hundreds and thousands". Some of the leaves are the size of a small plate so I can't see the flowers. I could get lost in the undergrowth. :biggrin:

                    Mine is horrendous this year I can never be bothered doing any big jobs. I really should though, we have loads of room to make allot of nice features.

                    Ah the humble washing line. It nice to see a garden with one in it. Although I do find them a bit of a pain when I look out on my garden and see nothing but washing blocking my view, but I guess they are necessary.


                    Did you build those seats from pallets yourself? I'm thinking of having some kind of seating for my pergola like that. Is it comfortable

                    jungle jane: the washing line is directly in front of our kitchen window too so that is literally all you see when you have the washing out, we will have such a nice view again when I get round to decapitating the privet lol
