Secret Garden...

[weeal]

My garden at the new flat seemed so small and it was a bit overgrown and with a scabby old delapidated shed, got a few lads out this morning with chainsaws and a trailer and...hey presto...Ive found 8 FEET more garden in length under all the mess.
Roll on the spring for a complete new shape to it and a nice new shed.
Chuffed to bits now.

Hope you paid them well and gave them a nice roast dinner, with apple & black-berry pie n custard. Cheese/coffee/beer. Let them sleep in front of the TV?

You can tell, am salivating;))

As it's a blank canvas start planning
now !!

[weeal]

I did pay them well and gave them rolls n bacon n coffee, they did an ace job, I have loads of plans for the garden in my head, but im too wee to get it all levelled off, need to get them back in the spring for that with their rotavator.

Cant believe Im getting excited bout sheds now lol

Get huge plastic sheet (used on trucks to hold loads) and spread over reclaimed land. Weigh down plastic and land will be weed-free/soft/ready to plant up by spring.

there will be plenty of curves <;-)

[weeal]

ah good tip there terambulan, thanks

i had an ex that had a secret garden................but then she shaved and now owns an air strip................

[terambulan]

The plastic has to be light proof - green/blue or such. Even an old carpet will do.

Any puds left over for me;)

[weeal]

leggo im sure youre being rude lol

[abstract]

leggym,im not sure whether your a horticulturist,but in order to own a big strong growth,you must first plant your seeds,but only after ploughing a deep furrow first....

Try to view your garden from an upstairs window, it helps a lot in visualising curves, flowerbeds etc.

Also, unless you are bathed in sunshine all day, make a sketch of the pattern of the sun every hour.

Oh no, you are in Scotland aren't you.......;)

[weeal]

Yeah Ive been looking from upstairs but as its Scotland and a 'winter' sun I wont know where the hot spots will be till spring/summer. Got lots to plan.

My interior DIY is NOT going to plan however this weekend and Ive pulled a muscle and keep drilling the fireplace wall in the wrong bit lol, its just not happenin
