Willow Sticks

Just after Christmas I bought some Willow sticks to fill in the gaps in the hedging. I thought this would be a good idea as we can also used the wood for kindling. They are all shooting lovely, but then I found out that they might interfere with our drainage system so I've had to take quite a few out and replant them into pots. We'll just have to see how these do. I moved them to the Log Store Corner. This could work out quite well as we can chop them back for kindling and it makes the Log Corner a lot more cosy. I removed the Trellis fence as it was a bit crooked and planted a couple of the existing climbing roses here. Nothing much to see here yet but I'll update when they've grown up a bit.

A Lick of Paint

We're carrying on the Black and White colour scheme and what a difference a bit of paint makes. Lee painted the Garage and Garden Shed and made a Cover for the Logs. I think we are doing well as we've only been here 3 months.

This old picture shows some of the trellis around the Little Orchard. We've managed to save some of it and are up-cycling the little fences and I need to save all the climbers that were rambling along them.

There are lots of little sections in this garden which is really nice. The Log Store is just between the greenhouse and garage under the pine trees.

Might have to plant some of the clematis and roses in that border at the front ... wonder if Lee will put up some of the trellis there.
