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.

Beech Hedge

Lee has won the battle with the Beech Hedge. It was so large and really hanging over the borders. Lee got out his man tools and got to work. He's very impressed with his mini chainsaw ... men and their toys. After many trips to the tip we finally finished. Another big job done.

October

We've had fantastic weather this October and the garden is still so full of flowers. We are however, battling with all the leaves :)

Fuchsias and Honeysuckle

Is this a bee, ivy is covered in them?

Lots of flowers still going strong

Just 15 minutes walk from ours .... Tregaron, Stunning

Exploring down the lane from ours. I know where I'll be going in the Summer to do a bit of sketching. Cannot believe this is just behind the Llama field. It's just beautiful and so private.

Autumn in the Garden

It's taken 8 months to get our garden in a more manageable state and although we have a couple of big jobs to do like the patio and new flower border, the rest can be maintained in normal bursts. Bulbs have been planted for the following Spring and some late flowering heathers have been planted for the bees. I'm looking forward to just pottering about next year (hopefully). I might even find time to water the plants in the greenhouse :)

This little bee fell asleep all night

Just worked out how to do panoramic shots on my phone camera. Makes the garden look huge, it's not that big.

Sun House Corner

The Sun House needed a little TLC so we gave it a lick of paint. Lee mended and painted the outside while I painted the inside. Not a bad job and we now have a lovely corner to chill out and do some archery.

Strawberry Plants for the Birds

We need to keep a walkway clear just at the back of the caravan, but I couldn't help saving more plants and have moved some of the little strawberry plants to this area. Hopefully they will fill out and spread. Summer Update: they have definitely taken over and I have seen the little chaffinches eating the strawberries:)!
