Garden Watch - Day 10

Day 10 (Tuesday)
Prepare to be amazed!!!!
(I got all emotional!!!)

It was a full day with no interruptions for weather...Hurrah!!

It was getting a little tight on the slab front i.e. there were not really enough left!!!
....It could have been a disaaaaaaaaster dahling ! LOL

So Gary (the man that can) suggested taking up the four in front of the small shed...

...and filling that area with gravel.........he's a star!

I am really, really pleased with the layout of the lowest patio...

...I had been a little worried that it would not look quite right as the square slabs, a donation from my dear neighbours that were surplus to their requirements, were not quite the same size or depth but Gary to the rescue again....he certainly knows what he is doing ;)

The retaining bricks around the veggie patch were completed, membrane put down and the gravel path made with the bird table re-sited too...

...top soil added to the beds and the arch in place...
...(I've got a pink rose "Times Past" and a lovely purple clematis "Romantica" on order)...
...I have plans for this garden to be full of symbolism...
...that only I (and of course you!) will be aware of ;)

Fingers crossed that Wednesday sees the rain holding off till after 5 as there is still the enclosing wall to be built, finishing the gravel path, a back gate to fit, pointing to be done and a lid to be made for the old coal bunker that we both agreed could cause more problems than it was worth if it was broken up!!!

 I'm crossing my fingers for Saturday and Sunday to do the planting...but...I'm not prepared to get a soaking even if the plants might like it!!!

Thanks for looking
