Lovely Rocks

Another patch cleaned and we found lots of lovely Big Rocks. Really needed to clean this border so that we can plan our archery range. Targets are going to go on the side of the Garage which means we will be shooting down towards the targets. At least now we can see what's going on. There's lots of Crocosmia and plants emerging, which will stay on the left and lots of Ivy and a low Conifer on the right, this will stay also and some of the rocks will be put back once we are finished. We are planning to put some steps down the middle. Lee found 4 frogs!

The Patio

And they say 'the camera never lies' ...
This picture looks lovely

This has given me such a headache. Not only is the garden sloping upwards to the left but it is not square and the angles are just weird. Lee comes along with some string and hey presto - sorted. The patio will have a step up to the left so that we can level it out. But for now most of the slabs are down until the grass dies off. We've used some of the slabs from the vegetable garden as this is going to be lawned over but first I need to save all the plants in there including a little Camellia.

I love the picture on the left - it really doesn't look like that at all! ... yet

I'm not much help to Lee when it comes to the heavy stuff so instead he has given me the job of cleaning the slabs off. I really like the moss effect.
