View from bedroom window, we're not overlooked at the front or the back of the house.
Before
After
My friend collected the logs for her wood burner.
The border had disappeared and was half weed, half bulbs.
I've since added a few new plants here, a fuchsia and lupin.
The back garden also saw some tree work, not as successful, but I did read up about how to cut a fir tree back to retain shape and regrowth, time will tell how it's worked out.
The lawn looks so much better now it is edged properly.
Bluebells growing in the garden.
I've been wanting a hydrangea for years, now I'm back in the UK I treated myself to one.
I'm growing peas, basil, mint, tomatoes.
I added some colour to the garden fence.
My friend distance dropped a table and chairs she no longer had use for off.
My garden plans for June.
Repurposing my recycling I made mini green houses for my beans. I've been unable to get a plastic greenhouse anywhere.
The cat and dog have been digging up smaller plants, so I made this frame for the beans to grow around. I've been unable to dig up the tree stump so this is a good way for me to hide it.
I've prepared a spot to plant my pumpkin out and looking for somewhere for my cucumber plant.
Long term plans are to extend the conservatory with a lean too, to enable us to enjoy sitting outside more when the weather isn't as good. If anyone has done this I'd love to hear how easy it was to do and what costs were involved.
If you'd like to join in with The Garden Year and showcase your garden then you can link up with Stephanie on her blog Life at 139a. I'd love to read more gardening posts to share ideas.
Removing the tree has made such a difference. I bet you are getting so much more light into your house now.
ReplyDeleteYou have done really well with your garden. It looks great.
The mini greenhouses are a great idea and the painted cans on the fence.
so much more light in the front of the house, just hoping the grass will now grow back it's no longer in permanent shade
