Thought some of you may (or may not) be interested in what has been taking up a huge portion of my time for the past couple of months.
Some days when the weather has been fine Ive been working from 9am till 9pm on 'my project' (and several days during not so nice weather).
Its still far from finished and I need to get another ton of decorative stones to top up whats there now to bring the bottom of the garden level... and quite a few other bits and pieces.. but this is progress so far.
Im hugely proud of this, aside from the new fencing with the aid of a neighbour, Ive done all the work myself. Ive had very limited cash to spend and all of the flags/rockery stones have been reclaimed/already there and jetwashed to come up like new.
Its not like these fancy brand spanking new type gardens that you see in magazines where people have spent £100's/£1000's on their gardens and my biggest expense was the fencing.
The log roll edging was bought from a poundstore at a vastly cheaper price than garden centre... it just took me days to treat about 25 rolls of the stuff, and another few days to put it in.
Ive shifted gravel and gawd knows how many bags of compost and ornament bark. Done in several trips in my lil car whose nose was almost pointing skywards due to the weight in the boot
Ive ached so many days from moving concrete panels on my own... Ive been covered in muck and grime so many days from jetwashing and clearing out the pond, Ive been covered in fence preserve as Ive gone though about 4 tubs of the stuff... but here we go at how it looks now..
