This is a basic representation of how our back garden will look unless we get bored, run out of money or change our minds !
Stuff we've already done:
- A series of posts with a rope between them for roses and ivy to grow up and over to create arches (top left in orange), in place but waiting for plants to get their finger out.
- Rockery, finished.
- Summerhouse, wicker Ebay find all up and running.
- Bees, hives built, garden sectioned off with rustic fencing, we'll be adding a low hedge to soon.
- Sink, see todays other post!
- Fire Pit, the first thing we did after moving in. Been cooking it up good style for a while now.
- All the 'T' marks are new fruit trees that we have put in this year.
Stuff still to do:
- Massive amounts of weeding, this will take forever..!
- Pond, this picture shows the new shape we hope to have next year. Currently it is just a rough oval but we want to 'Y' shape it at one end to shape it around the black spot.
- The black spot, this will be a garden bed made from an old trampoline (Ebay find for £10!) and a structure that will probably be a living willow gazebo thing (to be done in the autumn)
- Old shrub bed by the arch will be ripped out and returned to lawn but also our apricot tree will go here.
- Low walls on the terrace will be built, mainly out of stone reclaimed from elsewhere in the garden to create a better border between the terrace and the rockery/lawn.
- Gravel ! The driveway, terrace and front of the house desperately needs re-gravelling. We've found a local supplier who can deliver around 14 tons for a couple of hundred quid but right now we can't guarantee the motivation to move it about and a pile that big on our driveway will stop us getting in!
- The circle with the '?' is a dark clearing under the trees high up overlooking the garden. Not sure what will be going here...
and that's it!
P.S. If anyone fancies helping us move a lorry load of gravel let us know!
