One Year On, Border by the Caravan

Seems like a lifetime ago since I put in loads of primroses to fill up this border. This border had absolutely nothing in it and I wasn't sure if anything would grow because it was so gravelly and hard to dig, so glad I was wrong :)

Can't remember what this is called :)

The Little Orchard and Greenhouse

Photos from around the garden with some Before and After Photos. The Little Orchard has really filled out this year but we haven't had much blossom, fingers crossed we get some fruit. Lee has been busy in the greenhouse growing Tomatoes, Strawberries, Peppers, Lettuce, Courgettes and Potatoes.

Chicken Coop went to a good home

Clearing the weeds

All clear and ready

New Steps for our Archery Bit

This is going to be so much better for us as we can both just walk straight down the middle to collect our arrows. Lee has built some really good steps on quite a steep slope. It'll be really nice when the plants spill over and soften it up a bit. I've used the last of the stones to build another dry stone wall. We have almost used everything up in the garden now, very little has been thrown away, we have used, replanted and recycled everything.

This poor section looking very sorry for itself

Bits and Pieces around the Caravan

Some Before and After gardening photos from the caravan section. It's looking really lovely now.

Just a little TLC needed and a touch of Spring

Finally, New Border in the Caravan Garden

Well, it's been some time since I posted our progress in the garden. The caravan section is almost complete, we just have 2 bird boxes to put up. Here's some of our Before and After photos for this section of the garden. We used the old Breeze Blocks from the greenhouse and a couple of old doors for the back. Old broken roofing tiles were added to the border to stop some of the weeds until the plants grow.

Border by the Pond

Although most of the major borders in the garden have been cleaned and re-stocked, the crocosmia still keeps coming back. So we had to tackle the border by the pond again by digging out the existing clumps that were thinned out before. Great excuse to go to the garden centre and buy a few more plants for the bees and butterflies.

This walkway not quite finished yet

This border cleared for the second time!

The Little Pond that is my next Project!

The Last Border !!!

Another Border full of Crocosmia and Geraniums. I really like Crocosmia but not everywhere. I have saved some for planting at the Side of the house at the front and the rest has gone to good homes.

So this is what the border looked like before I dug it out. As always mum has been helping and kept me going :)

More Crocosmia and Geraniums

Very Full and Messy and Plants Overcrowded

Border extended round to path

and more Geraniums to the Back

The Garden in June

Everything has gone mad and we haven't finished the rest of the garden yet. Just look at all these lovely flowers. One small problem is that the geraniums are so big they are covering all the other plants, might have to be digging some of those out when I get back round to those borders. Glad I haven't watered anything with Miracle Grow yet!
