So we have a rather large green space with little in it which is great for us to make it as we want. At the bottom of the garden is a willow from the neighbour that bows over and Sophie hides here as a little monster to jump out at us.
We decided to cut our first bed here, and to keep Sophie's hide out we have used some large slabs for her to hop about across the bed.
Once the bed was cut we started the planting which took ages as we planted a huge amount of bulbs plus 100 bare root wallflowers, plus hostas and a bird bath with alpines. I can not wait to see if all the hard comes together in Spring
Were we live has great vintage shops and i could help picking up these old tools, i find that buying the new ones from teh garden centers only seem to last a year or 2 before the fork spikes bend or the handles fall off, they sure did make tools built to last in the old days, which is why i got these and they have been hard at work since we got them.
Whilst we were working on the bed our neighbour came home from work ...by helicopter!!!
Finally with all the plants in i'm now scratching my head as to how to water it all, as it is so far away from anything. So we started another project after this one where we have bought 130 meters of hose and are pumping water from rain buts to give this lot a good soaking.
