Caravan Patch

Slowly making progress on the patch by the side of the caravan. This has been pretty hard going. The ground is very gravelly and full of stones but I've managed to clear it of weeds ready for plants. So glad we brought some of our plants from Birmingham. Hopefully they will all take and we will have a nice border this Summer. At the moment I'm making do with our pot plants and existing plants from the new garden. Saving little primroses from all over the garden is not the most exciting of jobs but I'm after low maintenance ground cover that will look pretty in Spring. Lee has started making a new fence after the wind demolished the existing one.

Plants from Birmingham

The start of planting up

Plants in this border include: Hawthorn Tree, Buddleia, Holly Tree, Hydrangea, Roses, Peasants Bush, Winter Camelia, Red Robin, Ferns, Lavender, Lupins, Roses, Foxgloves, Daffodils and Primroses. I think this border is going to be very full once it has grown.

Caravan

Two of these large tubs were in the garden and the other two were on the grass verge by the road. They didn't really look very nice where they were so I planted them up with some of the climbing roses that were in the garden, bought some cheap obelisks and put them by the caravan as a privacy screen. I just need to paint the planters black but this looks a lot better. Lee painted the bottom of the caravan black - so much nicer.

Nice and Tidy

Need to paint those tubs!

Big Messy Corner

The photos below are different views around the caravan. We've certainly got our work cut out over the Summer. Haven't worked out why we have so many road cones yet.
