It's finished ........

When I was talking to Bilbo the other day, she pointed out that I had never shown any pictures of the back garden since you saw this, in December. Trust us to decide to have it all dug out in the wettest November and snowiest December for decades!

Anyway, after many delays because of the snow, it was finally finished, and a couple of weeks ago we bought a few plants, and here is what it looks like now.
Of course it still needs a lot of plants, but we'll take our time over that.  I've got some clematis on order and some summer flowering bulbs, but other that those, we haven't decided what else we want to put in yet.

Who knows, perhaps I'll post about some quilting next time?

  1. your garden looks so nice and relaxing! I have 3 clemantis plants. 1 is huge, the 2nd is med. and the 3rd is small. All planted the same time all in basically same area....I think this is the year the slower too will take off...hope so.

  2. Wow, that's a bit impressive and very different from last time I saw it.

    Your chap has done a great job with the carpentry by the look of those joins, and it will definitely be much lower maintenance for you. Wanna come and help with mine now yours is done {pfnar, pfnar, pfnar,as Flummery would say!}

  7. Very nice garden! Where are the weeds? :) Did you and Mr. Fix-It design it?

    I'm anxious to see what you've been up to with your quilting. Hope you're having a good weekend.

  8. Wow, what a difference! No grass to mow, that'll make life easier. I like all the railway sleepers and hard landscaping, and the plants will soon grown and soften the edges.
